Washington, Feb, 7.—FKurther ef- forts to question Albert B. Fall, cen- tral figure in the senate oil investiga- tion were abandoned today by the oil committee, The decision was reached upon ad- viee of the speclal government coun- sel in the oil cases, Silas H. Strawn and Atlee Pomerene, They recom- mended against permitting Mr, Fall to testifysunless he waived immunity, A memorandum submitted by Mr, Btrawn and Mr. Pomerene said: “If the committee should undertake to compel a witness to answer under duress, either by contempt proceed- ings in the senate, or through the criminal process provided in section 104 of the revised statutes, necessar- ily the government would be foreed to take the position that section 859 Is co-extensive with the immunity pro- vision of the fifth amendment to the constitution. Testifying Under Compulsion “If the witness is menaced by threat, either of punishment for con- tempt or proceedings in the distriet court of the District of Columbia, he may acquiesce and testify, claiming that he is testifying under compul- slon, “Such a witness might assert that under the constitution he cannot be compelled to be a witness against himself and that, if indicted for an offense relating to the subject matter about which he is compelled to tes- tify, he would be immune against the use of such testimony. “The government being forced to take the position as above indicated, that section 859 is co-extensive with the immunity of the fifth amendment, the witness would doubtiess insist that the position taken by the government above referred to would work his| complete immunity, x x x Danger In Forcing Testimony “The danger of proceeding along these lines is that in the prosecution of a witness who might subsequently be Indicted for an offense about which he is compelled to testify, the lime of distinction between the evidence which the detendant was compelled to give and the other evidence obtain- ed as the result of his testimony might be so indefinite as to make it practically impossible to distinguish und therefore the prebability of error wonld be great. Indeed the testimony of the witness and the other evidence might hé"so commingled as to pre. clude the acceptance of any evidence concerning the subject matter. “In view of the provisions of the fifth amendment we advise against permitting Mr. Fall to testify uniess he walves his constitutional privijege.” Senator Walsh's Motion After considering the recommenda- tion of counsel for an hour, the com- mittee adopted this motion by Sen- ator Walsh, democrat, Montana: “The witness, Albert B, Fall, having refused to answer any questions that | might be put te him touching the matters under investigation by the committee, on the ground that his evidence might tend to Ineriminate him and the comm'itee being advised by eounsel that thy statute _provid- ing that a witness should Hiot be ex- cused from testifylng before a con- pressional committee on such ground being less broad In its scope than the constitutional guaranty, so that pro- ceedings for cortempt or by indiet- ment against the witness for con- tuma would probably fail, and that 1f the witness procceded to testify be- fore the committee under protest he might gain immunity from prosecu- tion, and the committee being advis. ed by the aftorney for the witness that his purpese to stand on hig con- stitutional rights is Irrevocable, 1 move that the subpoena issued for the witness, Albert B, Fall, be vacat- ed and that he be released from further attendance on the commit- tee.” ‘ Not Sure of Witnesses The committee will resume its in- vestigation tomorrow, but Senator Walsh has not yet determined which of the scors or more of witnesses for whom subpoenas have been lssued will be called.
