Attorney for the prosecution asked that the witness might be instructed by an attorney so James Puglese, the prosecutor, claimed the same rights. Other witnesses examined were the following: Frank Puglese, who last we?k was convicted on his own evidence of collecting, illegally, about $4,000 from his fellow workmen, was the first witness called on the part of the prosecution. After answering the stereotyped questions for identification he refused to answer any questions ot\ the ground that it would incriminate himself, and, of course, could not be coerced. Immediately after the Jury had returned with their verdict. Judge Reed called Frank Puglese before the court and sentenced him to one year in the work house and to pay the costs of prosecution. Ho explained to the prisoner that If he owned up that there had "been a conspiracy on foot to discredit Mr. Hewitt, he would have let him off with a fine.

He had worked at machine work until March 16 or 17. when he was changed to pick . work. When asked why he was changed to pick work and how much it cost him to get changed, he answered that he could not remember. Asked if he had had talks with Karl Hewitt about having -paid money to get his job, he said he was afraid, as it would injur** his own person to talk. Asked who told him that it would hurt him he said, "No one." Asked why he would not answer the questions he said that he had been wrong—that he had been to blame. to answer. Left to the district attorney to Instruct him, Mr. Long ruled that since he had not been asked to answer anything that would incriminate him he should answer. Camarata refused to answer on the ground that it would incriminate him.
