80. Where do you reside:'
" "a Los, Angeles, Calf
80. How old are you?
"a. Thirty years and six months
80. Will you tell US about the
transaction you had with Albert B.
Fall on or about November 30, 1921?
"a / am sorry, sir. but came
before this committee in answer to a
-rth hy ~, -
is or may be alleged that my father.
or myself, or company in which we
are interested, may be made defend
ants. Neither my father nor myself,
nor the company in which we are
interested have been guilty of any
wrongdoing or transgressions against
the law. My father has made certain
statements which have been made the
basis of certain charges against him.
While l assert that nothing which !
might say would be evidence of any
wrongdoing on my part, l realize that
any evidence that I might give or any
testimony / might give might be used
against me. l must therefore, decline
to answer that question on the advice
of my attorney, on the ground that
what / would say might tend to in
criminate me. With all due respect TO
thS jury and to the counsel for the
government, claim my privilege
against self-crimination.
Prosecution Not Inteaded.
90. While you are thus refusing to
testify on the ground that anything
you would say might tend to in
criminate you. and are, therefore,
claiming your constitutional privi-
lege, do you not have in mind that
before you came in to the grand jury
you and your counsel were both as
sured that counsel representing the
government had no thought that you
had been guilty Of any criminal mis-
conduct, and that there was no pur-
pose or intention on their part to at
tempt any criminal proce edingS
against you personality
counsel for the government gave to
me and my counsel, Frank J. Hogan,
those assurances. 1 am sorry, sir, but
1 must adhere to my original position
and refuse to testify for the reasons
and on the grounds stated
And the grand jurors aforesaid,
though mindful Of the obligations of
secrecy imposed upon them by law
in the discharge of their duty, are
nevertheless compelled to ask that
this honorable court forthwith issue
a rule against the said Edward L.
Doheny, jr., that it may be by the
court determined whether or not the
said Edward La Doheny, jr., shall
answer the questions propounded to
him as above set forth, and for such
other action as the court may deem
legal and proper in the premises"
