Per Curiam:
The judgment is reversed and the case remanded to the District Court with directions to grant a new trial because of official intrusion into the privacy of the jury. Remmer v. United States, 350 U. S. 377; 347 U. S. 227. The fact that the intrusion was unintentional does not remove the effect of the-intrusion.
MR. Justice Reed, with whom Mr. Justice Burton and Mr. Justice Clark join, has filed a dissent. Mr. Justice Clark has filed a separate dissent.
