1Opinion of the Court
Opinion for the Court filed by Chief Judge BAZELON.
BAZELON, Chief Judge:
Appellants were convicted by a jury of transporting, receiving, and possessing firearms in violation of various federal and District of Columbia statutes. They appeal, contending that certain evidence obtained through a warrantless search of a suitcase should have been suppressed. We agree that this evidence was improperly obtained, and we conclude that the district court’s failure to exclude it requires that these convictions be reversed.
I
