“[i]n Smith the police had no direct contact with the third party. Thus, they had to depend entirely upon the unproven informant’s version of what she had been told by the third party. There was simply no corroboration of this story which could have been a complete fabrication. In contrast with Smith , Deputy Reese was dealing directly with Martin and Robinson. Viewing them as informants, their statements are surrounded by indi-cia of reliability.”
