Appellate Court of Illinois — Fourth District.

Rehearing denied November 13, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard J. Wilson and Gary R. Peterson, both of State Appellate Defender's Office, of Springfield, for appellant.

Ronald C. Dozier, State's Attorney, of Bloomington (Marc D. Towler and Larry Wechter, both of State's Attorneys Appellate Service Commission, of counsel), for the People.

Reversed and remanded.

We agree.
