The opinion
HOOK, Circuit Judge.
I concur in the foregoing opinion, excepting that part in which it is said that probably a defendant in a charge of criminal contempt may be compelled to testify and incriminate himself. The question is not involved in the case before us and a different view was expressed, at least arguendo, in Gompers v. Bucks Stove & Range Co., 221 U. S. 418, 444 , 31 Sup. Ct. 492, 55 L. Ed. 797 , 34 L. R. A. (N. S.) 874.
