Both men, whose bodies were found sprawled under a pine tree, had apparently been shot in the back of the head, a spokesman for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. Two deer hunters found the bodies of Florida trooper Charles Campbell and James E. Meyer of Wilmington, Del., near the town of Pabst, in a secluded area about three miles from Georgia Highway 247. Campbell was wearing his uniform, the spokesman said, but his hat and gunbelt were missing. Neither of the men had been bound and authorities said there were no other marks on the bodies. About 60 state law enforce ment officers and G3I officials joined county and local officers in combing the area for evidence that could lead to charges against Knowles, 28, of Jacksonville, Fla. But the GBI spokesman said no such evi dence had been found by Thursday night. Knowles, questioned about the whereabouts of the hostages Wednesday, had said they “are not suffering anymore.” He also had told authorities he left the men south of Macon. Knowles, who was captured after he ran a roadblock near McDonough, Ga., Sunday, had told authorities that he could identify the location of the missing men with one word. A state patrol spokesman said he Judge gets WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (UPI) — A Paftn Beach county circuit judge was given a list of taped diaries belonging to accused mass killer Paul Kenneth Knowles and their locations Thursday but he declined to disclose any of the information. Circuit Judge Russell Mcln tosh was told that since he now knows the location of the tapes he could now be subpoenaed to appear before U. S. District Judge Wilbur Owens Jr. In memory of Mr. Walter Thomas Hudgins, who died 4 years ago, November 22, 1970. I cannot say, and I must not say That he is dead, he is just away! With a cherry smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wondered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be since he lingers there. Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here, Think of him still as the same and say: He is not dead — He is just away. James Whitcomb Riley Sadly missed by his wife, Mrs. Walter Thomas Hudgins, and Children. Hunt laid it out bluntly WASHINGTON (UPI) — E. Howard Hunt laid it out bluntly in a memo written just a week after Richard Nixon’s landslide re-election in 1972: The Watergate burglars had kept quiet as promised and now they wanted promised cash and pardons in return. That long-missing memo, described as a “bombshell” by the prosecution when it surfaced under mysterious circumstances early this month, was laid before the jury Thursday at the conspiracy trial of five former Nixon aides accused of covering up the scandal. One of the masterminds of the bugging, Hunt listened impassively from the witness stand. He was to be back for final cross-examination today and, after three wrapup witnesses, the prosecution was expected to rest its case shortly after noon as the trial ends its eighth week. Normally inscrutable, a number of jurors looked stunned as Assistant Special Prosecutor Richard Ben- Veniste slowly read aloud the three-page Hunt memo, accusing the Nixon administration of reneging on its word. “The defendants have followed all instructions meticu lously, keeping their part of the bargain by maintaining silence...,” wrote Hunt on Nov. 14, 1972. “Having recovered from post-election euphoria, the administration should now attach high priority to keeping its commitments and taking affirmative action in behalf of the defendants.” Though warning there might be trouble ahead if the demands weren’t met, the memo ended: “The foregoing should not be misinterpreted as a threat. It is among other things a reminder that loyalty has always been a two-way street.” The demands of Hunt and the others —and the efforts that had been made to meet them — obviously were a major worry to Nixon the following spring as the cover-up was apparently referring to the town of Pabst. The bodies were being examined by state crime laboratory personnel in Haw kinsville Thursday night. Au thorities did not yet know what type gun was used in the slayings. Campbell and Meyer were abducted at Tallahassee, Fla. last Saturday and had been the object of a widespread search in central Georgia ever since. Knowles, who already is charged with two Milledgeville slayings, was moved to a Monroe County jail for security reasons, according to the GBI. He is also suspected of killing TEXTILE VALUE STORE!

In another development in the tangled case, Mrs. Sheldon Yavitz, wife of Knowles’ atttorney, was jailed here after refusing to give a federal grand jury information about a taped diary of Knowles’ activities said to be in her husband’s psossession. — Griffin Daily News Friday, November 22, 1974 began collapsing and the White House scrambled to stave off disaster. According to four White House tapes never before made public, Nixon realized that the defection of John W. Dean HI to the prosecutors could well mean impeachment unless “adroitly” handled. He began searching for away out. Troubling Nixon the most was a talk he had had with Dean a month before, on March 21, about meeting Hunt’s demands for more than SIOO,OOO lest he spill other “seamy things” he had done for the White House. A White House tape of that meeting, played for the jury earlier, showed Nixon approving the payment as “something you .... well better get done” immediately. Nixon acknowledged to H. R. Haldeman, now on trial along with Ehrlichman, John N. Mitchell and two former Nixon campaign aides, on April 25 last year the March 21 meeting was an “incriminating thing” that could prove a “real bomb” if by any chance Dean had secretly made a tape of his own. “I have got to put the wagons up around the President on this particular conversation,” Nixon told Haldeman. “I just wonder if the ... of a ... had a recorder on him.” Haldeman didn’t think so — and in fact, Dean did not — and tried to persuade the President that he had just been “drawing Dean out” by asking him “leading questions.” “It’s not a good story...,” Nixon said, “he can say that the President discussed we gotta keep the cap on the bottle, we gotta take care of Hunt.” The real “vulnerable point,” Nixon said, were hints of clemency passed to the burglars. Both missing LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Local, state and federal au thorities are looking for a student sculptor who should not be able to make a quick getaway if he holds onto his “loot” —l7O tons of lead. The federal government donated the lead —worth $70,000 —to the state for use in educational projects, county supervisors were told Wednes day. The state gave it to the county’s Otis Art Institute, ELECT YVONNE LANGFORD (Mrs. Robert Langford) TO THE GRIFFIN-SPALDING COUNTY _ Board of Education - Post 7 RUN-OFF ELECTION: TUES , NOV. 26 which in turn gave it to a student to turn into a fountain. “Just prior to Labor Day, the student was requested to produce sketches of his project and to demonstrate progress in his work,” acting County Administrative Officer Harry Hufford reported. “He failed to comply with these requests and the Sheriff’s Department has been unable to find either the student or the lead.”
