245 La. 647
    STATE of Louisiana v. Ashton CHARGOIS.
    No. 47119.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Feb. 14, 1964.
   In re: State of Louisiana applying for a writ of mandamus and in the alternative for a writ of certiorari.

Writs refused. There is no right of appeal. Too, the search warrant was executed at a place other than that described in the warrant.

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion the writ should be granted, as the execution of the search warrant was within the “place” described in the warrant. To hold otherwise is an unwarranted technical construction of the language of the warrant and unduly burdens the officers of the law in their effort to suppress a nefarious traffic in narcotics.
