:, Elaborated I'm Brief.
These and other more technical
points attacking the Sinclair indiot-
ment were elaborated by the Sinclair
counsel in a brief OF more than l5c
| pages citing numerous precedents.
In connection with the claim that
the Senate was conducting a fishing
expedition and engaging IN political
Undertaking. Mr.. Sinclairs counsel
said:
'Tt is no answer to say that the
prospective defendant of a criminal
charge could refuse to testify upon
the ground that. his testimony would
tend to incriminate him. Such a
claim may we'll be made by an inno-
cent man, as evidence may have q
tendency to incriminate, although
there be no actual guilt. There is
also, however. not the slightest doubt
but that a claim OF privilege operates
prejudiciaily to the public mind; for
a real prosecutor to call q prospec-
tive defendant before a grand jury
would result in vitiating the indict-
ment returned by such grand jury, re-
gardless OF whether the party claim ed
