In Waco Texas two state narcotics agents Billy Warren Clifton and Hobby Gene Adams were indicted by a federal grand jury for assaulting attorney Charles M. McDonald during a March 26 narcotics raid.

In Dallas, jury selection opens for John McKee formerly head of the Greater Dallas Crime Commission, charged with fraud tied to Scottish Rite funds.

Washington AP. Attorneys for Lt William L Calley Jr seek a new trial claiming the Army lied about not locating missing witness Charles Dean Butch Gruver during Calley's 1971 court martial. They say Gruver, found July 5 by the Daily Oklahoman, could support Calley's claim that Capt Ernest Medina ordered killings in My Lai. Medina testified he gave no such order.
