Opinion:
Per Curiam.
It is ordered that the application for the writ be denied and the proceeding here dismissed without prejudice to again raising the question, on a timely and proper appeal from a judgment of conviction, of the right of the accused in a criminal cause to disqualify a district judge presiding in such cause for imputed bias.
