United States First Circuit

Where address book, found to be unlawfully seized, played some role in discovering witnesses, but the government could trace paths to the witnesses that did not go through the address book, the link between the address book and the remote witnesses held to be so attenuated that witnesses' testimony should not be suppressed as the fruit of the unlawful seizure of the address book.
