Can a witness be immunity from prosecution for an attempt to bribe?

rejected by the officer to whom the tender has been made. Immunity from prosecution for conspiracy or for an attempt not followed by acceptance must find some other basis, if immunity there is. The counsel for the committee, if we understand his argument aright, makes no contention to the contrary. Seeking another basis for immunity, he has found one, he believes, in another section of the same statute (Penal Law, 584), in respect of any prosecution for a criminal conspiracy. He concedes that there is none against a prosecution for an attempt to bribe apart from a conspiracy, but the risk of such a prosecution he believes to be remote and unsubstantial. Mason v. United States, 244 U. S. 362, 37 S. Ct. 621, 61 L. Ed. 1198.

2. We pass then to the question of the immunity offered to the witness against a prosecution for conspiracy.
