Court bars further prosecution of Clay Shaw by Garrison
A federal court ruled District Attorney Jim Garrison used unreliable witnesses in Shaw’s case and issued a permanent injunction barring further prosecution on the perjury charge.

Argentine customs seized a vast contraband haul from the Dutch freighter Straat Algoa, including 30 portable televisions, 50,000 cigarette lighters, 20,000 watches, and many cameras and other items.
