When a confession is obtained from a person accused of crime ,
in consequence of a threat ,
evidence of such confession cannot be received ,
because ,
being obtained by the torture of fear ,
it comes in so questionable a shape ,
that no credit ought to be given to it ;

263 ;
this is the general principle ,
but what amounts to a threat is not so easily defined .
It is proper to observe ,
however ,
that the threat must be made by a person having authority over the prisoner ,
or by another in the presence of such authorized person ,
and not dissented from by the latter .
