A former New York detective testified before a Senate panel, detailing how money tied to Watergate defendants was moved in coded drops and secret payoffs. Anthony Ulasewicz described cash deliveries to E. Howard Hunt family and lawyers, noting total sums around 154 500 dollars and other payments to Bittman Liddy and LaRue, amid code names Novak and Rivers. He recounted meetings at the Statler Hilton, laundry bags, and secret phone drops as he acted as middleman under Kalmbach's direction.
