A session of not more than a half liour's duration was held to-day by the Federal Grand Jury which is investigating the Western angles of the alleged, nation-wide dynamiting conspiracy. It had been expected that the jury would hold a longer session, considering the number of witnesses here from other cities, but after two women, a man and a boy had appeared before the inquisitorial body briefly, an adjournment was taken until to-morrow afternoon. The sudden end of to-day's session came after Oscar Lawler. special government Investigator, had received a telegram in code.

He declined to discuss the message, but the adjournment immediately followed. Then Lawler and Malcolm McLaren, the Burns detective who lias been here since the McNumara brothers and Ortie K. Mcilanigal were brought to Los Angeles last April, and who was with the investigator in the Grand Jury chamber, hurried to Lawler's private office. Shortly afterwards Samuel Browne, rhlef of the County District Attorney's detective bureau, who had been sick abed for several days, appeared In Lawler's outer office and was at once taken into the inner one. The next move was the departure of Lawler, McLaren and Browne from the Federal building, accompanied by Larry Sullivan, who formerly was employed as a detective for the defense.

The two women who appeared before 'the. jury were Miss Rose Hafael and Miss A. Whitrork of San Francisco: the man was Joseph Llnnard, an employee of tho Giant I'owder Company of Giant, where MrXamara purchased explosives, and the boy was Ferdinand .1. lean of 972 Sutter street, fan Francisco, who was supposed to have seen .1.
