SUGAR KING MUST
SERVE JAIL Term
Charles &. Heike, Magnate,
Loses Immunity Bath Plea
In Supreme Court.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Charles Heike,
former secretary OF the American Re
ining company, has no immunity from
prosecution for his knowledge OF the
sugar weighing frauds against the
government, because he testified be-
fore the grand jury. The supreme
court SO held today.
The court held that Heike must serve
his eight months imprisonment and pay
his $1,000 fine.
Heike was convicted Of conspiracy
to defraud the government. He had
testified at a grand jury investigation
under the Sherman antitrust law into
the affairs Of the American Sugar Re
f1ning company. Later he was prose-
cuted in connection with the weigh
ing frauds at the customs docks in
Brooklyn.
Basis Of Plea.
Heike claimed he was immune
against the latter prosecution by virtue
of an act of 1908, which provided that
those who furnished evidence in anti
cations should be granted immunity
only against prosecutions under the
antitrust law and interstate commerce
laws and not for prosecutions for con-
spfracy to defraud the government.
The government also contended that to
procure immunity. the testimony given
at the investigation must be Of an in
eliminating character.
The conviction OF Heike was the out
come of a series Of proceedings grow
ing out Of the sugar Weighing frauds
in which the company was requested to
pay to the government more than ST.
900, 900.
Tho Courts Findina.
The government claimed that Heike
as secretary and treasurer, could not
have possibly been ignorant of the
frauds.
Justice Holmes, handing down the
! courts decision said that it seemed
the immunity act was c~oter1ninous
| with the constitutional provision
against a man being compelled to tes-
tify against himself. He said, how
| ever, it was not necessary to define
exactly the limits of immunity, be.

was convicted, nor was it relevant
