1Opinion of the Court
Oantine, J.:
Eor the reasons stated in the case of People v. Elite Distributing Company and Samuel W. Webber (post, page 345), *343the motion for an inspection of the grand jury minutes is denied. ,
The defendant claims in the motion to dismiss the indictment that his constitutional immunity from testifying against himself was infringed, when he was called before the grand jury in October, to testify in the case of People v. Kiss and Graubart, and, even conceding his statement before the grand jury to be false, and material to the issue, it could not be the basis of a charge for perjury.
