CASTLE, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
I would affirm. If it be conceded that the record establishes that the defendant was the subject of an invalid arrest preceding the discovery of the marihuana in the bedroom among her personal effects, nevertheless, the search and seizure was not an unreasonable one but was made incidental to a valid arrest of Bartemio, who shared the bedroom, effected under a warrant. The search was a reasonable one incident to Bartemio’s arrest. The fact of defendant’s detention while the search was being made, if improper, is in any event but an irrelevant coincidence. It should not be permitted to poison the fruit of the search so as to make it inadmissible in evidence. And, the statements made by the defendant were made after she and the other persons in the room were advised of' their constitutional rights with respect to making any statements.
