Calley questioned by Army on My Lai killings
First Lt. William L. Calley Jr. faced a special Army panel at the Pentagon for two and a half hours amid continued silence on murder charges. He led the unit involved in the March 1968 My Lai operation. Capt. Ernest Medina testified he neither ordered nor witnessed a massacre, though he said he shot a wounded Viet Cong woman. Defense leaders defended the Army’s investigation and urged due process while Sen. Dodd announced a bill to fund My Lai reconstruction and survivor payments.

Prosecution rests case in Chicago riot trial after recess
After 10 weeks of testimony the prosecution rests its case against seven men charged with conspiring to incite rioting during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. U.S. District Attorney Foran presented 54 witnesses including policemen in undercover surveillance and about 50 exhibits such as newsreel film and audio tapes. Major witnesses Frappelly and Bock spent extensive time on the stand, while defense lawyers Kunstler and Weinglass cross examined lengthy testimony. The defense has filed mistrial motions, denied by Judge Hoffman. Overt acts shown include Hayden deflating a police car tire and Fraines buying butyric acid used in Chicago hotels. Three hotel incidents led to guilty pleas by three girls on probation.
