Crawford Commonwealth vs. Carper. ME O. OF nm COllllT. are These two case•I'\ he rd on motion of defendant in each c a se to aet aside the verdict of pil ty and grant him a new trial, on the ground that the evidence on which he was convicted was inadmissible bec ause obt a ined by an illegal search, made in each instance under an illegal search warrant. In neither case was the affidavit upon which the search warrant issued produced in evidence. The warrant itself does not h ave to show the grounds of t h e compl aint, or of affiant'e belief, so I cannot s ay whethe r the warr ants were founded on a sufficient affidavit or not, unless it can be said that the matter appearing on the faae of the warrants shows affirmatively that they were issued without probable c ause. I don't remember what the warrants show in this respect, and for present purposes it is unimportant, because the motion will be denied for other reasons. In the Crawford case there is a reason for denying the motion for a new trial that does not exist in the Carper case. The evidence was that as the off icers approached Crawford's house to execute the search warrant, and 1before the house wa s entered or the warrant was read, Crawford ran from the houae carrying a cuano sack which contained the cans or fruit j a rs of "moon sh ine" whiskey, and t hat he wa s about to throw them down, apparently to break them, when the officers, seeing hie moTemente and distinguishing the imprint of the jar• on the baa, seized him and took the baa away from him; and the jars which were in the baa, and the liquor contained in them, were the jars and liquor produced in court. Crawford was here violating the law in the preaenot of the officer•, in the unlawful po s session and transportation of ardent spirit • , and the court is ot opinion that the violation of �... ,- - �-- 2 -- the l aw was suffi cient ly appar ent to the offic ers to justi fy them in arres tinc witho ut a warra nt of any sort. I am furthe rmore of opini on, as appli cable to bo th cases (cone iderin a the arres t or Craw ford as not justi fiabl e a • for an offen se comm itted in the prese nce of the offic ers), that evid ence obta ined in the execu tion of a detec tive or illeg al searc h warra nt or witho ut warra nt is not inadm issibl e on the trial of the accus ed becau se of such detec t or illeg ality . Thia view of stron gly susta ined by Prote a• or Wigmor e. III Wigmor e on ETid. sec. 2183 and notes , page 2955 and seq. Same volum e, sec. 2264 and notes , pages 3126 - 3127. Mr. Wigmor e attrib utes the deci • ions contr ary to his view to an expre ss ion he s ays i s an obite r dictum in Boyd v. U.S. , 116 U* S. 616; (29 L. Ed. 746), which dictum he says is erron eoua thoug h the decis ion itsel f wa s right , since in that case the evide nce which consi sted of priva te paper s of the defen dant, in which t he aover nmen t had no inter est and which were of v alue only as evide nce, was produ ced from the posse ssion of the accus ed atthe trial , by an order of the Cour t, ao that the defen dant was in truth requi red to give evide nce again st himse lf in viola tion of his priTi lege under the 5th amend ment. See sec. 2264, and note 4 on pages 3125 and 3121. In auppo rt of the propo sition that evide nce obtai ned on a searc h under a detec tive aearc h warra nt, or a searc h warra nt issue d witho ut a auffi cient affid avit, shoul d be exclu ded on t he tria.l of the accus ed, I have been refer red to Week• v. U. 255 U~ s. (65 L. ed. 647); Amoa T. s., &8 L. ed. 6&2; Gouled T. u. s., u. s. n::xx,111 255 u. s., (65 L.ed. 614). These cases were groun ded upon the dictu m in Boyd T. u. s., supra , which is aeaai led _by Mr. Wipor e in the secti ons and notes above refer red to. �t . t • ' . ·- �-- 3 ~- In the case of Gouled v. U. s., 65 L. ed. ~41, the court on page 653 ,. deals with the question of the application of the 5th amendment, in answer to "the fourth question." The fourth question as there set out reads ae follow•: "If euoh paper•, eo taken, are admitted in "evidence against the person from whose house or "office they were taken, such person then being on trial "tor the crime for "tor warrant, -- which he was accused in the attidavit is such admission in evidence a violation of the Ith amendment.• -- (Italic• or under~ coring mine). To this question the court answered as follows: "The same papers being involved, the answer to this "question muet be in the affirmatiTe: for, they having "been seized in an unconstitutional aearch, to permit "them to be used in evidence would be, in effect as "rUled in the Boyd case, to compel the witnesa to become •a witness against himself." In the Gouled case, there was no search warrant at all, but the papers were obtained by a federal officer without a aearch warrant. It that officer was acting under an order of the court in which the htendant was on trial at the time (and the question is predicated upon the tact that the accused was then on trial), then the ruling would fall within the principle atated. by Mr. Wigmore, which as he aaya Ju•tifies as right the decision in the Boyd case, though the ob1ttr dictwp in that case was wronc. But it the court meant to aay in that case that it would be in oontraTention of the 5th amendment to admit in evidence on a trial of the accused evidence which was obtaine4 by a search warrant which was unlawM because in violation of the 4th amendment, concerning aearche• and seizurea, then, with all deference to that great court, I should have to reject the authority �' . ., .' �- ,_ 76 haY . to · e nd j et it n i 111 o. ta , n l proce . « t oroe,.. ot bin 1 \C)t. :lt i · O C 1 it d Ute • 'b y io · th fro 6t u:r i t \,n 1 iYll vi no I t in ~ , I shGult! c.ri l • ".:t. y t 11' is ,f fll ke no •ort ot · of f r · t in ·• u r a . 1nv · 114. • 'f lid 01" que•tion ot 1l t aaoi dep nd on .on;, uch c,on i himself • r tic,a aa t i n t Me 1 lt i fJO 1n c h 11 d ot v1 iY r Otbel'. c t b· 1 roe,• t 1t t , ·o 'I 1n be no v l.i • aNJh Yal.1 n no · t , f c; in .111 , on • (t, 0 1 e on 1 ·. 0 B t() any ld ta • 1 0 lt. h 1111 to m oonoluei on l• nee found 1n t he e cot\en und r cutioll of' a, •euoh · • 11rt • tl'aTentl oa ot th 6t h 'Yl n i denoe t , lt o re ou1 b ot 'b i-cb: t _., anu•l'Hltmf!I· n1<1Anoe produoe4 \ly IDOre be ft!atl1 •o ai!'oh ille ,... no• ,,., " by t .

The court does point there to the fact that 1ec. 10 of our Constitut ion, relating to searches and seizurea, ia not identical ly the same aa the 4th amendment, and •1l• it aaya the act of 1920 relating to 1earoh warrants (Acta 1920 P• 516) puts into our statute law much of what i s in the 4th amendment to the U. s. Constitu- tion, but it does not follow that the court would give to a mere statute the construct ion that it would give to the same or a similar provision in the Constitut ion, or that, if it were to do so, it would adopt the c 1 tr 1ct j.on g iven by the U. s. Supreme Court to the 4th amendment to the hderal Ccnstitut ion, a construct ion. wh ich our Court and many othe~s have diaa~prov ed and rejected.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.
