Mr. Justice Cothran :
I dissent for the reasons given by me in the case of State v. Prescott (Oct. Term, 1922) 117 S. E., 637. I particularly disapprove of the declaration in the leading opinion that—
“It is not necessary in all cases for the officer making a search and seizure to have a warrant.”
This statement is immediately followed by a quotation from the Quinn Case:
“The Constitution prohibits absolutely unreasonable ■searches, and it prohibits any search save on a warrant duly issued
Mr. Justice Watts, and Messrs. Memminger and Wilson, Circuit Judges, concur.
