claim the privilege OF refusing to answer
questions Just because she is the wife
h OF a man accused OF crime, and that this 1
privilege Is extended II only h to what are
4 known as confidential communications
i between husband and wife, II she re-
fuses to answer questions she can be
committed for contempt OF court, II
ss59f She may refuse to answer questions on
the ground that the answers might tend
to degrade or incTiminnte her, and also
she has the right to refuse to answer
questions on the ground that the answers
might tend to convict her Of crime.

The report OF the altenists retained by
the District Attorneys oeflce to examine
into the prisoner's mental condition was
made after the physicians had spent an
hourswlth Thaw, who. in defiance OF the
advice Of his counsel, former Judge Oh
{ cott refused TO answer an quest Ions. and
declared that nothing short Of actual
force would compel HIN 70 submit TO q 9

Y vehemently reiterated his determination
