TO have given the investigators vaiu-
able testimony and are expected 10 re
peat the testimony at the trials. Every
precaution, however, is being taken TO
prevent actual participants In the mas
sacre from appearing before the grand
jury. A number of men have attempt
ed TO get before the Jury on nretenses
that they have valuable testimony To
impart, but questioning by prosecutors
has revealed the only object these men
had was TO obtain immunity for indict'
ment by their appearance before the in
quisitors. If they assure the prosecutors
however, that they really have import
ant information, they are heard. 1t was
announced that it is probable that at
the end Of next week q recess of two
