Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's judgment, upholding the convictions for publishing a misleading advertisement and affirming the reversal of the assault conviction. The court held that evidence seized by an inspector, even if obtained unlawfully, is admissible and does not violate the state constitutional privileges against unreasonable search and self‑incrimination.
