GRAND JURY At Los ANGELES
TO OCCUPY WEEKS IN pYNA.
MITE INVESTIGATION.
M'MANIeAL AGAIN BEFORE
CONSPIRACY INoUlslToRs
McNamara Brothers May ee Sum-
monsd ~ Witnesses Whether They
Agree to Talk or Not-Ryan's Move
msnts Being Watched-story Of Ar
rests Told for First Time.

Los Angeles, Dec. S.-With Unit
ed States deputy marshals search
inK for 128 witnesses sub
poenead to appear before the
| federal grand jury, that body's
second day Of investigation into the
sources Of an alleged nation wide con-
spiracy was taken up here today. Ortie
| McManigal. who confessed to many OF
these dynamitings. occupied the entire
time OF the body yesterday in telling
| his story. He was recalled today.
It was said today that In all prob
ability no indictments would be re-
| turned for week and perhaps longer.
The whereabouts OF some CT the men
| said to be sought as witnesses is no;
| as to render 1t likely that many days
| will clause before all are heard.
Information gathered here indicated
| that the scope OF the Los Angeles in
| vestigation is not entirely determined
| by the department of justice at Wash
| ington. In view of the similar inves-
| tigation in progress at Indianapolis 1t
Is probable that the one here will be
| angles of the affair. leaving the wider
range for the east.
MeNamara May Be Called.
When the Mcnamara brothers would
go to San Quentin penitentiary was as
much a mystery today as ever.
It was informally said today that
Assistant United States District Attor-
ney Ra2an and others connected with
| the grand jurys inquiry had made no
change in their plans concerning the
calling of the McNamaras befores the
grand jury to testify. The brothers
have said they would not testify to
| anything. but the theory seems to be
that 1t would do no harm to ask them a
few questions and establish a arecord.
Ryan Being Watched.
! Members Of the district attorneys
office today were discussing the fact
that F. NJ. Ryan, president of the as
| sociation of bridge and structural iron
| workers did not sign the statement
| OF the committee Of the American Fed
| Grafton of Labor made yesterday In
! Washington denouncing the McNa-
mara brothers.
1t was but one of a number OF In
| stances where the district attorneys
office has manifested special interest
in what Mr.. Ryan says and does and
where he goes. AS head of the organi-
zation of which John ]. Mcnamara
was secretary and treasurer, 1t was
said too. it was not unlikely that Mr..
Ryan would be subpoenaed to appear
as a witness before the federal grand
jury.
McManigal, was taken before the
federal grand jury again today to re-
| sumo his story Of dynamite outrages
| thruout the United States.

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING INsTALMENT.
Gen. Ludlow, q venerable New Yorker. tells a
reporter wfo soes him at his home Ia the West
Twentie~. how he anne into possession Of a huge
and brilliant diamond. The General relates that
while in India he WA making his way through .
forest one evening at twilight when no came upon
q rude stone temple. The oren door revealed a
priest conducting a strange rite while worslippeIs
prustnted Themselves upon the ground. The Gen.
sml mnnised that this was one Of the temples on
the Thugs. the most dangerous sect among the
tribes Of Northern India. The central eye G the
wooden idol was an immense diamond. Al the
conclusion u the ceremony when only the priest
remained, the General saw = little native rush In,
strike down the priest with a knife and then py
out the IDOLS eye. This accomplished. he rn out
and was knocked senseless by the General, who
snatched w the iesel. At this point in the mar
native the General and reporter take g. diloE
