The Chairman. There is that possibility; yes—that is a sufficient statement.
Mr. Jenner. And being that possibility, do you wish to decline to answer the question on the ground an answer may tend to incriminate you?
Mr. Surrey. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Mr. Chief Justice, unless you or other members of the Commission have some questions on this line of examination, I will not ask further questions with respect to it—unless you gentlemen desire to ask questions.
The Chairman. Any further questions, Congressman Boggs?
Representative Boggs. Was anyone associated with you in the publication of this leaflet?
Mr. Surrey. I decline to answer on the ground it may tend to incriminate me.
The Chairman. Did General Walker have anything to do with it?
Mr. Surrey. I decline to answer on the ground it may tend to incriminate me—but, no.
The Chairman. What? Now you have opened that up, sir—if you say—was your answer no, or is your answer that you claim the privilege?
