Los Angeles, Dec. 23.-The scope of
the investigation undertaken by the
federal grand jury here and the one
at indianapolis, Ind, SO far as could
be learned tonight, has not been sharp
ly defined. The government officials,
it is thought, will be able to determine
only after the testimony of witnesses
has proceeded further whether to re-
turn indictment here or in Indiana
against those persons alleged TO have
been implicated in the conspiracy un-
lawfully to transport explosives from
one state to another.
James b. and John j. Mcnamara
remained in their cells today, reiterat-
ing thev would tell nothing, even If
called before The grand jury. 1t was
suggested that after the McNamaras
had tasted prison life and were visited
by labor leaders who are anxious TO
cleanse organized labor of the alleged
charges of lawnessness and who might
persuade them to aid the ends Of JUS
tice, they might be prevailed upon to
give the desired information.
Ortie z. McManigal, the confessed
dynarniter, continued to tell the grand
jury his experiences and was followed

nitroglycerine manufacturer, who says
he sold explosives to ]. B. and John

New York, Dec. S.-An almost con-

recital Lillian Graham gave today of
the sordid romance which led to her

by her counsel, the girl sobbed re-

her girihood in California and came
gradually to her relations with Stokes.

ed out and demanded what business
he had there. She said Stokes grabbed
her by the throat and tried to choke
her and cursed her. She said she
thought he was going to kill her.
She declared she opened a drawer
where the revolver was and he seized
the weapon and struggled with her for
it, but she got her finger on the trig-
ger and it went off. She said Stokes
then got the gun away from her and
she ran into the front room. She de-
clared Miss Conrad cried to him to
drop the gun or she would shoot and
then she shot.

the case of John W. Knight, on trial
here on five counts charging use of the

shipped on but one. Asked as to who
signed the bills of lading, he said the
name of John w. knight was signed

fed that bills Of lading bore the sigma
lures of agents who it is alleged did
not sign them.

six bills of lading purporting to show
cotton shipped from Selma by knight.
Yancey & Co., nor did the records of
his Office show that such an amount
of cotton specified in the bills of lad

The defense objected to this evi-
dence because the witness did not per-
sonally keep the records. but it vas
admitted. A large number of bills of
lading were offered Drain for ex-
animation and he was allowed to re-
tire to compare them with his books.
Drain s.ated. OF handed. that none
of them had been signed by himself.
He said a great many bills of lading

not by himself, and he said he did not
know by whom.
Mr.. Morrow said he was familiar
with John Knights handwriting, but
he could not say that Knight had
signed the bills.
Witness said his records show no
shipments of cotton corresponding
with that described in the bills of
lading. Defease objected to this be-
caues the records have not been
