vision that in trials for the violation
Of the liquor and gambling laws, No
witness shall be excused from giving
testimony on the ground that his testi-
mony would tend to render him Grim

ignominy."
In the trial Of Leonard Smith, a
Princeton, Ia, saloon keeper, prose-
cuted by the Davenport Civic fedora

make Smith witness as to
his own violation of the law, At

no person shall be compelled to be a
witness against himself in any GRIM
inal case"
Judge Bollinger after argument, de-
cided the Iowa law was in contraven
