“From the above authorities it is clear that a grand jury is not limited by the rule of materiality to actions on the particular purposes for which it was called, but its inquiry can follow a wide range of subjects or crimes within its jurisdiction. False statements made to it concerning the additional subjects it chooses to pursue may be punished by charge of perjury. However, the State must make some indication on the record that it is pursuing such additional lines of inquiry. (Emphasis added.)”
