“... where the previous disclosure by an ordinary witness is not an admission of guilt or incriminating facts, he is not deprived of the privilege of stopping short in his testimony wherever it may tend to incriminate him.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Thus, if the witness himself elects to waive his privilege, as he may doubtless do, since the privilege is for his protection, and not for that of other parties, and discloses his criminal connections, he is not permitted to stop, but must go on and make a full disclosure.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“guilty A judge of the district then presiding received the verdict, and, although his authority so to' do was at that time challenged, sentenced Yalante to thirty days’ imprisonment in the city prison. There was no motion for a new trial or application for a writ of error. Yalante was surrendered to the marshal and delivered into the custody of the warden of the prison for the purpose of serving the sentence. He thereupon presented a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that he had been illegally sentenced in violation of his “ constitutional rights and privileges”
