GRESHAM REVERSED
In tlje Celebrated Counselman Inter
State Commerce Case.
THE CONSTITUTION DOES PROTECT
Witnesses in All Criminal Cases, and They
freed Xot Answer
QUESTiOXS TIUT CRIMINATE TIIEi!
"Washington-, D. C., Jan. 11. It has
now become settled law that witnesses can
not be compelled to testify in any criminal
cases where the answers might tend to
criminate them in any way or subject them
to possible future prosecution. It is held
that the fifth amendment to the Constitu
tion, giving persons the right to refuse to
answer questions which might be 'used
against them in criminal cases, must be
construed in its broadest sense. Such is
the decision of the United States Supreme
Court to-day in the celebrated inter-State
commerce case ot Charles Counselman, ap
pellant, versus Frank Hiscock, Marshal of
the United States District Court for the
Northern district of Illinois.
This case is one of great interest to rail
road men, and has attracted widespread at
tention. It has been said that the effect of
a decision by courts that witnesses cannot
be compelled to testify ill scriousl v hamper
the Inter-State Commerce Commission in
the administration of the inter-State com
merce act. The Court's decision was unani
mous. nistory of the Celebrated rate.
The Counselman case had its origin in an
investigation begun in 1890 by the grand
jury of the UniteJ States District Court for
"Northern Illinois into certain alleged viola
tions of the inter-State commerce act by
the officers and agents of the Bock Island,
the Burlington and the Chicaso, St.
Paul and Kansas Citv Kailway companies.
Counselman was asked whether he had
obtained from railroads coming to Chicago
from points outside the State a rate tor
grain transportation less than the tariff
rates. His reply to this and similar ques
tions as to whether or not he had received
rebate":, drawbacks or commissions from
specially named railroads was that he de
clined to answer, on the eround that it
might tend to criminate him. The grand
jury reported the refusal to the District
Court, and it found that ConnselmaU's ex
cuses were insufficient, and directed him to
answer. He still refusing, the Court ad
judged him in contempt, fined him f.TOO and
costs, and directed the marshal to take him
in custody and hold him until he should
have answered the questions asked and
others of similar import.
Jurtgp Greshnm Turned D inn.
After further proceedings the Circuit
Court, Judge Gresbam delivering the opin
ion, discharged a -n rit of habeas corpus it
had issued Counselman pending its decision,
and made an order sustaining the District
Court. From Judge Gresham's orde- the
appeal in this court Mas prosecuted and
Counselman meantime admitted to bail.
Counsel lor the witness (appellant), besides
urging the plea that the witness was pro
tracted by the fifth amendment to the Con
stitution from answering any questions
whic 1 might tend to criminate him in anv
case, also attacked the right of the grand
jury toproceed in such investigations." The
Court, in its opinion, rendered by Justice
Blatchford, says, however, that it does not
find it nccessarv to consider anv other than
the point raised under the Constitution as
to the privileges of witnesses.
It is broadly contended. s.iys the opinion,
that a witness is not entitled to nle.id the
privilege of silence e.vcept in a criminal
case against himself; but such is not the
language of the Constitution. Its pro
vision is that no person shall be compelled
in any ervmnat case to be a witness against
nimseir. 1ft s provision
31 list Itnvn a Urcad Construction
in favor of the right which it was intended
to secuie. The matter under investigation
by the grand jury was a criminal matter,
arid the reason given by Counselman for
his refusal wai that bis answer nuglit tend
to criminate him. His apprehension was
that the answers might show that he find
committed a crime against the inter-State
cor.inierce act tor which he might be prose
cuted. His answers, therefore, would be
testimony against himself, and lie would be
compelled to jrire them in a, criminal case.
It was impossible that the meaning of the
constituJiOual provision can only be'that a
person shall not be compelled "to be a wit
ness in a criminal prosecution against him
self. The object was to insure that a per
son should not be compelled, when actinc
as a witness in any investigation, to give
testimony which might tend" to show that
hejiimself had committed a crime. The
privilege is limited to criminal mntters, but
it is as broad as the mischief against which
it seeks to guard.
The Court then takes up the contention
that the investigation before the grand jurv
i as not a criminal casp, but solely to ascer
tain whether a crime had been committed,
and it n-aches the conclusion that the ques
tions asked Counselman and his relation to
the inquiry sho-i that it as such a case as
entitled him toinvoke the protection of the
Constitution.
CESSNA'S KEVENGE.
How the Old PenniylTnIa Pbllticlan Got
Even With lllalne.
fct. T.ouls Globe-Democrat.:
Tho writer of a recent article In the New
York Sun on the "Curiosities ot Politics," In
relating the causes and consequences ot the
hostility of Mr. Tyner. of Indiana, to the
nomination or Mr. Blaine at Cincinnati In
1876, omits another case of very similar char
acter, which had, perhaps, still more to do
with Mr. Blaine's defeat on that occasion.
Mr. .John Cessna, of Pennsylvania, like Mr.
Tjner, had been refused his choice of com
mittee chairmanships by Mr. Blaine. He
wanted to be Chairman or the Judiciary
Committee, but Mr. Blaine made a diffclcnt
selection.
Mr. Cosna went to the convention of 1S76
for the avowed purpose of "gottinz even"
with Mr. Blame. He chose a very novel
method (or the accomplishment of hi pur
pose. He knew that the plan of the Blaine
men was to nominate their candidate Tor a
stampede of votes from other candidates bo
fore the result of the first ballot was an
nounced. He worked for nnd secured
his own selection as Chairman on tho
Committeo of Rules for the govern
ment of the convention, and in that capacity
reported a rule that altera htate hart cast
its vote no change of that vote should be
allowed until after the result of that ballot
had been announced. This stopped all
chances forii stampede and hart much to do
with defeiting Mr. Blaine. Mr. Cessna had
hisievengc, and was free to boast of the
fact during and'after the Convention.

Thomas A. Hunter died on Sunday at his

Mrs. tjoralne T. S. Inrln.
Mrs. Loraine T. S. Irwin, wife of T. "W.
Irwin, died yesterday at her residence, 1S4
Btiena Vista street, Allegheny, from the
effects of a cold contracted while attending
a church festival at Emmanuel Church dur
ing the holidays.
The Constitution Is Snpjrem".
The Court then considers the allegation
that section RGO of the Beviscd Statutes,
which savs that no evidence obtained troin
a witness by means of a judicial proceeding
shall be hi any manner usd against him in
any criminal proceeding or for the enforce
ment of any penalty oMorfeiture, removes
flic protection of the constitutional privi
lege of Counselmcn.
The Court i-ays this provision of course
protected Counselman acainst the use ofbis
testimony against himself or his property,
but that it could not and would not prevent
the in-e ot his testimony to search out other
testimony to be used against him. It could
not prevent the obtaining and the use of
evidence which should beattributeddirectiy
to the testimony he might give under com
pulsion. Section SCO is not co-extensive
with thf constitutional provision, and legis
lation cannot detract tnim the privilege
afforded by the Constitution. A mere act
f Congress cannot amend the Constitution.
Legislation Cannot Chang the law.
The opinion of Justice Blatchford then
makes an Exhaustive review of the decisions
by this Court and bv State courts in cases
arising out of the existence of similar pro
visions in Sate constitutions and says:
It is quite clear that Ic-islation cannot
abridKe a constitutional privilege, and that
It cani.ot ivnlsice or supply one, at least un
less it is Mihroad as to nave the same ex-
Jfn' V" arc cloarlv of opinion
that no statute which leaves the party or
,u.uJKi ! prosecution alter he n-
c,ti'e,rrim'nntillK filiation put to him.
can hive the effect ot supplanting the privi
lege confeired by the constitution of the
E "1 ,1 SIS!f ect'on SO) of the Beviscd
Statutes doe-, not supply a complete protec
tion from all the perils against whicn the

I'rS" n r,ir I1"1' or the constitutional
provision a statutory enactment to ho valid
must atTord nbsolnte immunity against rut
ure prosecution for the offense to w lileh the
question rela'e-.
The Court therefore rules that Counsel
man was entitled to refuse to answer, and
directs that the judgment of the Circuit
Court be reversed and the case remanded
with directions to discharge Counselman
from custody.

Most fur dealers carried over heavy
stocks of Seal Garments this year. Cut
ting in price has been the result.
Our reductions began previous to
Xmas, so in spite of the weather we sold
more garments than last year.
Tempted by the low prices offered us
in Kew York last week, we have laid in
a fresh stock of finest. Alaska Jackets,
half Sacques and Reefers, and begin
this week to sell them at the following
prices. These garments are made ab
solutely of first quality Alaska Skins,
and we keep no others:
25-inch Jackets, 5133; sold six weeks
ago for $175. 27-inch Jackets, S150;
sold six weeks ago for $200. 30-inch
half Sacques, 5170; sold six weeks ago
for 5240. 28-inch Reefers, 5195; sold
six weeks ago for 5230.
"We stake our reputation of more than
50 years in the fur business on the qual
ity of these goods.
HERE'S A MUFFLER SNAP.
On Monday and Tuesday we give you choice of any 49c, 63c
and 74c muffler for
24 Cents.
These goods are just as represented, and, as they cost about double
what we offer them for, it will pay you to investigate.
