When they are dismissed before the court adjourns, they may be summoned again, on any special occasion, at such time as the court directs. Evidence may be offered to the grand jury by the Attorney General, the district attorney, the assistant district attorney and, at the discretion of the presiding justice, by such other persons as said presiding justice may permit.
