The case involves a search of the defendant's living quarters without a warrant. The government claims it was lawful because it was incident to a lawful arrest. The defendant argues it violated her Fourth Amendment rights. The officers had probable cause to search based on the strong odor of burning opium, but no warrant was obtained. The District Court allowed the evidence, which was affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals.
