Dmlrict Attorneys Who Think Not
Are
Mimaken- Liw Provides
There is some talk over the state
by District Attorneys that the
prohi law now in force makes it
criminal for an agent of a sheriff
or district attorney to ouy
iquor illegally and that he would
be liable to prosecution if he
bought.
As a matter of fact the authors
of the law considered this propo
sition, and it is fully covered by
Section 35. an amendment to the
old law, setting out the matter
completely. Judge Bagiey, with
out prejudicing himself on cases
that may come before him, says
the law does not stop the agents
of peace officers from getting
such evidences of sale as are cov
ered by t he above. The amend
ment incorporated into the law,
and which is germane to this, is
as follows:
"In any action or proceeding
under this act, no person shall
be excused from testifying con
cerning any offense committed
by any court or before any grand
jury or betore any prosecuting
officer on the ground that his tes
timony may incriminate him; but
such testimony shall not be used
gainst him in any prosecution
for any crime or misdemeanor
under the laws of this state; nor
shall any person who has been
compelled to testify under this
section be thereafter prosecuted
in any court in the State of Ore
gon, or subjected to any penalty
or forfeiture, for or on account
of any transaction, manner or
thing concerning which he has
thus been compelled to testify or
to produce evidence, document
ary or otherwise.
