Tie Supreme Court of Pennsy lvania
has lust rendered an opinion in a case
in which certain defendants were in
dicted for offering to bride delegates to
a nominating convention, and the de-
PENDANTS in this case, when on the
stand MS witnesses. refused to testify,
alleging that they wonld criminate
themselves. They were assured by the
Court below that their replies would
not be used in any criminal proceedings
against them, but they still refused to
answer, were adjudged guilty of con-
tempt and sentenced to be imprisoned
for three months and to pay a fine Of
$500 each. The cases were appealed.
and the Supreme Court row afirms the
decision of the trial Court. The orin-
ion is interesting in that it shows how
far u witness is privileged in refusing
to answer.

A Poor Man Oh Tax Days.


City Counselor Will G.. Marshall had
a big case just before he went into his
office, and while it was pending he had
to present heavy bond for his client to
the court. The client brought him a
friend, who told Marshall he was worth
$4,000 in unincumbered real estate.
At the proper time Marshall brought
him before the court and put him on
the stand.
'How much are you worth?' he asked
him. The bondsman hesitated and began
to wriggle uneasily in his chair. "Oh,
well, you're worth 500, 900 in real estate,
[ suppose" said Marshall.
Good gracious, no! Not half of
that exclaimed the witness. 81 guess
am worth about $4,000"
Marshall was astonished beyond meas
ure. and had to ask the indulgence OF the
court while he sought another bonds
man. Meeting hisman outside the court
room afterward, he asked him warmly
what he meant by such contradictory
statements.
II am worth %100,000," said the man
cody, ''but you don't suppose I'm fool
enough to declare it in court? I've been
reporting $4,000 to the assessor straight
along, and they'd be after me for back
taxes if told how much was worth on
the stand. didn't know you was going
to put me on the stand or should have
