People State New York Ex Rel. Frank J. Valenti v. John J. Mccloskey

[6 N.Y.2d 390 Page 393] The real question presented on this appeal is whether a witness before the State Commission of Investigation, who answers
questions enumerated in a warrant of commitment procured by the commission, may be incarcerated indefinitely until he consents
to give a character of testimony which in the opinion of the commission and the courts is not perjured.
