Opinion
The judgment of conviction in this criminal contempt case is reversed.
Well intentioned as the original order was for the taking of a deposition of Corning in a criminal case, we find that no rule or statute really authorized it at the time.
On cases arising after October, 1970, there is statutory authorization under Public Law 91-452 for depositions under certain circumstances.
