r UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, April IS.
Having been Unexpectedly delayed
when States Attorney J. Frank Parran
was forced TO participate in Circuit
Court cases yesterday, members Of the
Prince Georges County grand jury to-
day hoped to finish their investiga-
ton of the Seat Pleasant bomb explo-
sion, with the possibility of an indict-
men being returned before nightfan.
The jury has refused to hear wit
neSSes in the bombing unless Parran IS
in the room, and when it found the
States attorney would have to spend
the afternoon in court yesterday the
grand jury adjourned shortly after 8
o'clock.
Earlier in the day, however, 1t had
summoned several members Of the
family of Lawrence Leroy Brady, Wash
ington automobile mechanic, who is
charged with the bomb murders which
killed three members of the family of
John Hall in Seat Pleasant on New
Years day. Among those summoned
were Herman Brady, brother Of Leroy
and widower of Mrs. Naomi Hall Brady,
to whom the bomb was addressed: Mrs.
Ella Brady, his mother, and Emmett
Brady another brother.
Herman Brady was the object of
many curious stares as he waited in
the corridors of the court house to be
called before the jury. Neatly dressed
and ruddy-complexioned, he seemed
oblivious of the attention that was paid
him. His calm, almost cheerful ex-
preston drew much comment.
Lieut.. Joseph Itzel and Sergt. Charles
Schalter, Baltimore detective aces, who
were assigned to investigate the case
by Gov. Ritchie, spent the day in the
ante room of the grand jury cham
Der, but were not called. They were
ordered to return to Marlboro this
morning.
