nessmen, who had been taken
hostage by accused mass
murderer Paul Knowles, were
three Bronze Stars for his service while a POW.
Halyburton is in the Navy Reserve. (UPI)
found in a heavily wooded area
about 20 miles south of here
late Thursday.
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.

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

at least 10 other persons in five
states —Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, Ohio and New Mexico.
He is charged specifically with
the murder of Carswell Carr of
Milledgeville and his 15-year
old daughter, Mandy.
Knowles has refused to talk
about the various slayings.
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.

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.

The federal government

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.”
