D. C. Riley, J. We adopt the facts as set forth in Judge Kaufman’s dissenting opinion and agree that there was sufficient evidence presented at the preliminary examination to bind defendant over on a charge of murder and, at trial, to convict defendant of that charge. However, we part company with his dissent on the issue of the court’s instruction on felony-murder.
