Inthe first place the witness was required to answer any prover question, but he by no means conceded that the House had not a right to ask any question for the pr of the inve: nm. The only y that could judge of the propriety of the \uestion was the committee of the Hot sul to the order of the House. It was not for the witness Saneree ornot, The judgment must be with the c@mmittee, and, the any question may be asked and only be answered by the witness in a given manner. He cannot refuse to answer, or answer acco! to his own way. The gentieman from Wis sald that a witness could not be bound to criminate himself. In 1867 a witness put himself upon this privilege, in the case of bribery as to the Tariff act, and Congress passed a law that it should be no excuse to witness that his answer might tend to criminate if, and that he should never be indicted as to the subject matter of which he wlens be inquired of. Under that law Floyd, the de- faulting. Secretary of War, escaped indictment. Therefore, in 1863, Congress altered the law go as to provide that while the Party may be indicted, his answer shall not be put in evidence, and no new testimony which he may give could be produced against him. The gentleman from Wisconsin asked that @ copy of the report be given to the witness with the he refused to answer. Did not the wit- ness know what he refused todo? In order that the House might understand the matter he read a por- tion of the records relating to Wooley’s examina- tion, in order to show what question the witness re- fused specifically to answer, adding that he had ven the question and the way the witness nded that the House might kuow how the committee had been, treated. .
