The Court seems to hold that what the informer says is the test of his reliability. The objections were overruled and the evidence admitted.

. Nathanson is, therefore, not apposite. "In the late afternoon of Tuesday, August 20, 1957, I, Detective Thomas Didone, Jr. received information that Cecil Jones and Earline Richardson were involved in the illicit narcotic traffic and that they kept a ready supply of heroin on hand in the above mentioned apartment. with knowledge of unlawful importation .

A contrary rule, "that evidence sufficient to support a magistrate's disinterested determination to issue a search warrant will justify the officers in making a search without a warrant would reduce the Amendment to a nullity and leave the people's homes secure only in the discretion of police officers.". We conclude, therefore, that the search warrant should not have been issued because the affidavit did not provide a sufficient basis for a finding of probable cause and that

Petitioner threw a packet of heroin into the commode, but an officer retrieved the packet before it could be flushed down the drain. MR.
