Moreover, the court held that what was heard by the use of the detectaphone was not obtained by trespass or unlawful entry and did not violate the Fourth Amendment. The error of the stultifying construction there adopted is best shown by the results to which it leads. 1. App. Cf. We hold that what was heard by the use of the detectaphone was not made illegal by trespass or unlawful entry.

United States, 255 U. S. 298, and United States v. Lefkowitz, 285 U.

Physical entry may be wholly immaterial.6 Whether the search of private quarters is accomplished by placing on the outer walls of the sanctum a detectaphone that transmits to the outside listener the intimate details of a private conversation, or by new methods of photography that penetrate walls or overcome distances, the privacy of the citizen is equally invaded by agents of the Government and intimate personal matters are laid bare to view. We are unwilling to hold that the discretion was abused in this case. Footnote 1 928, 18 Ann.Cas. 52, sub.
