Description
This is an original proceeding in prohibition. The questions presented arise out of the examination of Mr. Lee as a judgment debtor, pursuant to statute.

Some of the people to whom he spoke made gifts of money, food and produce. Lee was unable to remember the names of any of the people who had made gifts to him, with one or two exceptions. He refused to answer whether or not he had filed federal or state income tax returns for the years 1963 and 1964 on the grounds that the answer might incriminate him. Further in the examination it appeared that he had recently purchased a 1960 or 1962 Rambler automobile in Bay City, Michigan, and that three people had loaned him the money to buy the car. He was then asked the names of the people who had loaned him the money. He refused to answer this question on the ground that it might incriminate him. When asked by the court how it might incriminate him, he answered ""because they might think I had money"". The ultimate result was that the court held Mr. Lee in contempt. On request of counsel, the court delayed the issuance of the commitment until application could be made to this court for prohibition. Such application was made and our preliminary writ duly issued. We set forth the proceedings leading up to the finding of contempt as follows:
