Michigan Law Review
Defendant, detained on a vagrancy charge in Texas, voluntarily confessed to a homicide committed in Nebraska.

The confessions were introduced at the trial and a conviction of manslaughter followed.

Since that time there has been an increasing number of appeals seeking reversal of a conviction upon that ground and an expansion by the Court of the types of factual situations which will render a confession inadmissible. That this expansion reached its apex with the case of Watts v. Indiana and companion cases decided in 1949 appears probable in the light of a recent denial …
