A “mystery witness” will testify before a second grand jury that will consider further charges against Bernhard H. Goetz for shooting four youths on a New York subway, a prosecutor said. Dist. Atty. Robert Morgenthau also said he had offered to protect and relocate the family of one of the wounded youths if he would testify before the panel, but the offer was refused. A grand jury in January refused to indict Goetz for attempted murder and charged him instead with illegally possessing a weapon. But a judge has given Morgenthau permission to resubmit the case to a second panel.
