Witnesses Who Would Not Speak

Two men were called as prosecution witnesses at another man's trial for a bank robbery. They refused to answer, claiming the right not to incriminate themselves. The court gave them immunity, so nothing they said could be used against them, and ordered them to testify. Face to face with the judge, and with the trial waiting, they refused again. The judge found each in contempt at once and added six months in prison, to run after the sentences they were already serving.
