The Supreme Court Of the United

that will change materially The lrac-
tice of courts as to he llind OF test.-
mony witness could lie compelled to
give. by this decision witness is
excused from testlfying if lie swears
that his testimony will criminate him
self. The practice for a number of
years has been to compel man to tes-
tlfy, but with the guarantee that his
testimony should not be used in an
action against himself, if it would tend
to criminate him. AS the practice has
been, the courts have passed upon the
character of the testimony. As the
rnle would seem to lie s.om this late
decision, the witness himself is the
Judge.
