that Washington police acted il

means denounced as criminal
when they entered a Dunbar Hotel
room without a warrant and
seized narcotics which a man had
hidden in the room occupied by
his aunts.

held that Jesse w. Jeffers, colored.

was correct in finding that "the
seizure was made in violation of
the fourth amendment and on
motion of Jeffers, it's fruitage
should have been excluded as
evidence at his trial"
