1Opinion of the CourtSmith, J.
In her effort to avoid a second trial on charges of conspiracy to distribute heroin and possession of heroin with intent to distribute, Anna Mae Jones seeks to have us hold that the error which caused the Court of Special Appeals to direct a new trial after her conviction was such that yet another trial is forbidden under the Double Jeopardy Clause of U. S. Const, amend. V.
We shall affirm the decision of the Court of Special Appeals in Jones v. State, 44 Md. App. 417, 409 A.2d 725 (1979), which held to the contrary.
Mrs. Jones was convicted by a jury in the Criminal Court of Baltimore.
