The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Emanuel Berson, Appellant
Judgment affirmed. On this record defendant was properly convicted of a criminal contempt of court, although it is possible, and even probable, that his refusal to answer was because of a mistaken belief that he had a right so to do and, although it is possible, and even probable, that a truthful answer to the question would have shown his innocence of the alleged misconduct which the Grand Jury was investigating. No opinion. Concur: Conway, Ch. J., Desmond, Dye, Fuld, Froessel, Van Voorhis and Burke, JJ.
