        "text": "MR. JUSTICE ENGLISH\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nDefendant appeals from a sentence of 10 to 15 years upon conviction for unlawful sale of narcotic drugs. Ill Rev Stats 1963, ch 38, \u00a7 22-3.\nThe first contention is that the court committed error in refusing to allow defendant\u2019s several motions, made during the course of the trial, that those proceedings be suspended for the purpose of conducting a hearing to determine the competency of defendant to stand trial. Ill Rev Stats 1963, ch 38, \u00a7 104-2.\nThe State\u2019s Attorney confesses the validity of defendant\u2019s contention under the compulsion of People v. Burson, 11 Ill2d 360, 368-370, 143 NE2d 239, and Pate v. Robinson, 86 S Ct 836.\nAs we pointed out in People v. Kelly, 66 Ill App2d 204, 214 NE2d 290, 293, agreement of the parties does not control the judicial function of this court. We have, however, examined the record and find that on no fewer than 119 times defendant interrupted the trial with ravings and abusive epithets directed at the judge, the State\u2019s Attorney and even at his own counsel. The character of these vituperative remarks by defendant was such as to convince us that a bona fide issue was raised as to defendant\u2019s competency. We therefore agree with the position of the parties that the conviction in this case should be reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial. Such trial should not be commenced, however, until after a hearing is conducted to determine defendant\u2019s competency under the statute.\nReversed and remanded with directions.\nDRUCKER, P. J. and MCCORMICK, J., concur.",
