Mitchell and Stans delay in Watergate era trial
In New York the trial of John N. Mitchell and Maurice H. Stans, charged with conspiracy obstruction of justice and perjury, is postponed due to Watergate pressures. A federal appeals panel urged delay and Judge Lee T. Gagliardi granted it, with no new date set as lawyers seek time to prepare. Jury selection was halted after hundreds gathered outside and 646 of 1500 potential jurors waited inside.
