*82Thomas Gallagher, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the majority opinion insofar as it relates to the written waiver of immunity from prosecution. The jury quite reasonably determined that it was given knowingly and not under circumstances giving rise to fraud or duress.
I am unable to agree with the conclusions of the majority as to our various statutes which grant immunity from prosecution where a person testifies before the public examiner when the latter presumptively acts within the scope of his powers. See, State v. Lowrie, 235 Minn. 82, 49 N. W. (2d) 631, particularly as to the applicability of M. S. A. 215.11.
Mr. Justice Christianson took-no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
