That it was taken in violation of the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution and should be excluded and no reference to any such statement should be made at this trial. BY THE COURT: After hearing the Motion to exclude and all evidence pertaining thereto, the Court has ruled that the statement was freely and voluntarily given. That the defendant had been advised of his Constitutional rights. That there was no coercion, threats, promises or force used.”
