The fourth amendment quoted by
the court rs basis for the opinion
follows: 1.-The rights Of the people
to be secare in their persons, houses
papers and effects, against unrea-
sonab!e searches and seizures, shall
not be violated, and no warrants
shall issue, but upon probable cause,
supported by oath or affirmation,
and particular description Of the
place to be searched, and the per-
sons or things to be seized"
Judge Parker said in the opinion
"The great bulwark of individual
liberty Incorporated in the fourth
amendment would be but mock
cry if petty officers of the govern
ment were at liberty to disregard its
provisions whenever, to procure evil
dence, they might see fit to arrest
without warrant upon a belief that
a felony had been committed. In
the Henderson case, the court held,
the evidence had been procured by
means of unreasonable and unlaw-
full search in violation of constitu-
ional rights"
1t is gratifying information that
this scandalous violation of vested
fundamental rights is to cease, that
a freeman is not to see the bulwark
of the republic destroyed and the
great principles upon which this
ideal country was founded to be
wiped out forever. We have lived in
an atmosphere of the whirlwind rule
of the majority with no respect for
the rights of the minority. Constitu-
tional law is founded for the specific
purpose of protecting the inherent,
fundamental rights of the minority.
When this facts ignored and dis
regarded then we are living in a
despotic realm and need only a
yrannical Gear to complete our
uin.
