Confessions recorded under Section 15 were admissible despite being taken by police officers and without immediate production before a Magistrate, because the special provision displaced the ordinary bar on police confessions and the statements were found voluntary and truthful. Independent circumstances, including recoveries, travel records, hotel registers and witness testimony, substantially corroborated the confessions, and a chain of circumstances was sufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
