The Grand Jury shall not be bound to hear the defendant nor the evidence offered by him, but they shall weigh all the evidence submitted to them; and when they have reason to believe the other legal evidence exists within their reach which will remove the charge or explain the facts constituting the same, they may order such evidence to be produced and also examine the defendant, if he so desires, first informing him of his right to refuse to testify, and that any testimony so given may be used against him.
