D. Gardiner Tyler, Richmond, Va., for respondent.

On Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia.

PER CURIAM.

The motion to strike the supplemental brief on behalf of the respondent is denied. The judgment is reversed. Silverman v. United States, 365 U.S. 505; Ker v. California, 374 U.S. 23.

Mr. Justice CLARK, concurring:

¶2

Since the Court finds that the 'spiked' mike used by the police officers penetrated petitioner's premises sufficiently to be an actual trespass thereof, I join in the judgment.

¶3

Mr. Justice WHITE dissents.
