Hunt fails in bid to reduce Watergate sentence
E. Howard Hunt Jr., a Watergate conspirator, loses a bid to cut his 214 to 8 year sentence. Judge Sirica does not give a reason for denial. Hunt, who recruited burglars and pleaded guilty, has served about a year at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. In Chicago his lawyer says Hunt will receive a third of a $300000 damage award from United Airlines over his wife Dorothy Hunt's death in the 1972 Midway jet crash, with the rest to his children.
