1. ““To attribute to the whole proceeding the nature of a search after a lawful arrest, in the face of the fact that each witness swears they searched under the warrant, and the fact that the officer made a return upon the warrant showing the results thereof, would be to dispute such return (Davis v. State, 187 Wis. 115 , 203 N.W. 760 ), and ‘makes too severe a demand upon the imagination’ (Flagg v. United States [2 Cir.] (C.C.A.), 233 F[ed], 481).” 44 Idaho at 61 , 254 P. at 794 .”

2. ““Under the great weight of authority of both state and federal courts, a search warrant issued upon ‘information and belief,’ unsupported by facts submitted to the magistrate, and based upon the conclusions of the affiant rather than the facts, is illegal, and a search conducted thereunder is unlawful and in violation of the constitutional provisions with relation to searches and seizures.””
