In this paper we prove the following generalization of a result of Hartshorne: Let T be a commutative Noetherian local ring of dimension at least two, R = T[x(1),...,x(n)], and I = (x(1),...,x(n)). Let f be a homogeneous element of R such that the coefficients of f form a system of parameters for T. Then the socle of H-I(n) (R/fR) is infinite dimensional.
