Description

The petitioners were tried and found guilty in the District Court for the District of Columbia upon three counts of an indictment charging gambling offenses under the District of Columbia Code. At the trial police officers were permitted to describe incriminating conversations engaged in by the petitioners at their alleged gambling establishment, conversations which the officers had overheard by means of an electronic listening device. The convictions were affirmed by the Court of Appeals, 107 U. S. App. D.C. 144, 275 F.2d 173, and we granted certiorari to consider the contention that the officers testimony as to what they had heard through the electronic instrument should not have been admitted into evidence. 363 U.S. 801.
