Senators, sheriffs, clerks and a deputy were found guilty of ballot box stuffing and perjury in Mt Gay precinct. The court rejected arguments that federal power did not apply to a state election and found no merit in defense motions for pretrial hearings and discovery.

White House aide testifies on funds used for wedding
Dean testified that funds from the White House were used to pay for his October wedding and honeymoon, with only 1625.12 in his account when repaying by check. He said the act wasn’t embezzlement as he could restore the money anytime and cited overdraft history at his bank. He described Nixon aides Haldeman and Ehrlichman at a Sept. 15 meeting, and said Nixon was pleased indictments stopped with Liddy, noting Magruder as a remaining link.
