Rennow’s victim picked his photograph from those of a number of other men. See Simmons v. United States, 390 U.S. 377, 88 S.Ct. 967, 19 L.Ed.2d 1247. She then swore out an affidavit before the District Attorney who thereupon issued a warrant for Rennow’s arrest.

On May 28, 1970, Gadsden’s Assistant Chief of Police, J. D. Longshore, armed with this warrant of arrest wetat to a hospital in Birmingham and finding Rennow, arrested him in a doctor’s office. The officer and Rennow went upstairs to a room which had been assigned to Rennow.
