In the Henley murder trial, Harris County medical examiner Dr. Joseph A. Jachimczyk testifies that two of 27 Houston victims died from suffocation with gags and tape. He notes a Lufkin pathologist missed bullet wounds and that one teen died by strangulation, as defense seeks to cast doubt on victim identifications amid juror-media tensions.

Ehrlichman Tried To Jail O'Brien
Washington AP Former Democratic Chairman Lawrence F O'Brien says he is appalled and disgusted by a report that White House aide John D Ehrlichman pressured the IRS to jail him before the 1972 election. The Senate Watergate panel staff say Ehrlichman sped up an audit that found no tax wrongs. The report says Ehrlichman berated the IRS chief over delays and passed sensitive information to President Nixon. O'Brien says a president using government agencies to destroy an individual is incomprehensible. The probe also links to Watergate wiretapping and asks about campaign donations from a Hughes firm. Ehrlichman pressed Shultz for further checks, then the case was closed with no findings.
