1795
. No person shall be excused from testifying or from producing
any book, waybill, document, paper, or account in any investigation
or inquiry by or hearing before the commission or any commissioner,
when ordered to do so, upon the ground that the testimony or
evidence, book, waybill, document, paper, or account required of him
may tend to incriminate him or subject him to penalty or forfeiture,
but no person shall be prosecuted, punished, or subjected to any
penalty or forfeiture for or on account of any act, transaction,
matter or thing concerning which, under oath, he has testified or
produced documentary evidence, but no person so testifying shall be
exempt from prosecution or punishment for any perjury committed by
him in his testimony. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as
in any manner giving to any public utility immunity of any kind.
