ment OF departure OF the MoNamsras. so
they collected about the entrance only
long enough to see the brothers enter
waiting automobile, James BIS right

LawIer sees witnesses.
The federal grand jury was not in ses-
sion yesterday, but will convene again
next Tuesday TO take more testimony in
alleged dynamiting conspiracies. Oscar
Lawler occupied himself today with sew
eral OF the witnesses. He was closeted
for a time with District Attorney John
d. F'redericks.
Mr.. Lawler, who Is in charge of the
governments investigation. expressed il'-
ritation today that the newspapermen
had identified one OF the governments
important witnesses, j. w Kaiser OF
Muncie, Ind, who is alleged 20 have
sold nitrogiyoerin to James b, McNamara,
John j. Mcnamara and ortie p. Me
Manigal.
Kaiser at first refused TO give his
name. Later they 'shadowed" him and
learned his identity.
'If there's any gum shoeing to be
done" declared Mr.. Lawler, "I1l do some
OF that myself
IIe added that many OF the witnesses
were apprehensive OF danger in corsing
here to testify.
IAN the siuggers are not done away
with, you know" remarked Mr.. Lawler.
Every effort will be made to conceal
the Identity Of those who are subpoenaod.
but as many of the witnesses are known
to the newspaper men working on the
case, II is not believed that secrecy can
long be maintained.
Mr. LAwler admitted that so far as
he knew Attorney General wickersham
had not yet decided whether to make
Indianapolis or Los Angeles the center OF
the governments probe, but that the mat
ter probably would be determined before
December H. when the federal grand jury
Will meet at Indianapolis.
