United States v. Moses.
    A witness is not hound to answer a question, the answer to which may tend to crimi-nate himself.
    
      Mr. E. J. Lee, for the United States,
    produced Billy, a witness. The confession"* of Moses had been given in evidence, that he bought the goods of Billy, (the goods having been proved to have been stolen.) The question was asked of Billy, whether he sold them to Moses. Objection by Mr. Jones, that it tended to crimi-nate the witness.
   The Court

sustained the objection.
