person to answer the question or questions or produce the requested evidence and confer

immunity as in this section provided. If upon issuance of such an order, the person complies therewith, he shall be immune

from having such responsive answer given by him or such responsive evidence produced

by him, or evidence derived therefrom used to expose him to criminal prosecution or

penalty or to a forfeiture of his estate, except that such person may nevertheless

be prosecuted for any perjury committed in such answer or in producing such evidence,

or for contempt for failing to give an answer or produce evidence in accordance with

the order of the bureau chief and any such answer given or evidence produced shall

be admissible against him upon any criminal investigation, proceeding or trial against
