AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Witness Need not Testify when W
Doing 80 gAe trImlnates Himself.

IL has now become settled law that wit
nesses cannot be compelled 10 testify IN
any criminal cases where the answers
might tend TO eliminate them in any way
or subject them 10 possible further prose-
cution. 10 is held that the fifth amend
ment 10 the constitution, giving persons
the right 10 refuse 10 answer questions
which might be used against them in Grim
inal cases, must be construed IN its broad
est sense. Such is the effect OF the de-
cision Of the United states supreme court
Just rendered ia the celebrated interstate
commerce case Of Chas. Councilman, APP
pellant, VS.. Frank Hitchcock marshal OF
the United States district court for the
northern district Of Illinois. Counsellman
was asked whether he ever obtained from
from any railroad a rate on grain shipments
lower than the open rate TO all shippers.
He refused 10 answer on the ground that
it might criminate him. and claimed the
protection of the constitutional guarantee
conferred Dy the fifth amendment. Judge
Gresham decided against him and Peld
him in cor tempt Of court FOE refusing TO
answer the question. by unanimous de-
cision, the supreme court ruled that Judge
Gresham's order was erroneous. and that
Counscllman cannot be compelled to tcs-
tify.
