Three defendants were convicted of second-degree murder of a federal officer. They were held in a detention room for 14 hours without being presented before a judge or commissioner and were not given adequate access to legal counsel or due process. They made incriminating statements during questioning conducted by a district supervisor without a lawyer or relative present. The defendants argued that their Fifth Amendment rights were violated as the admissions were involuntary. The Supreme Court had to determine whether the admissions were properly admitted as evidence.
