No Indictments For Week.
It was said today that in all prob
ability no indictments would be re-
turned for a week and perhaps even
a loiger time The whereabouts of

witnesses are not definitely known and
the list is so long as to render it like

Information gathered here indicated
that the scope of the Los Angeles in

by the department of justice at Wash

A. Reagan and others connected with
the grand jury inquiry had made no

ing the McNamaras before the grand
jury to testify. The brothers have
said that they would not testify to any

larger share of general attention here
because OF the possibilities involved,
other possibilities Of no mean size
were seen in the coming arraignment
OF Bert H. Franklin, an investigator
employed by the McNamara defense,
who was arrested for bribery and who
will have his preliminary hearing next

time probably will tell only enough to
establish what the state will contend

superior court, pending the fling
against him for an information by the
district attorney These witnesses 1t

involve any one else and Franklin is
the man in whom interest centers.
