were then warned that whatever tes-
timony they might give might be
used against them in criminal ac-

they had a right to refuse to testify
on one ground only, namely, that to
testify might tend to incriminate
themselves and render them liable
to criminal prosecution and that
thereupon each refused to testify at
all.
