Hunt, M former White House
consultant and an ex-CIA agent,
pleaded guiltyito all charges at
the outset of the triaJ of the

The Daily News said Gray

“shocked and surprised" when
Petersen said he would be

Gray was prepared to testtify
that he destroyed the docu-

White House aides.
The new development came
as:
—Jeb Stuart Mag ruder, depu-
ty director of the President’s
re-election campaign, resigned
a 336,000 job in the Commerce
Department. Magruder insisted
to a reporter he had “no prior -
knowledge” of the Watergate
plot, although his name has
been mentioned prominently in
the investigation of the plot and
alleged attempts to cover it up.
— Ehrlichman. said he did not
know of the contents of the
papers Gray^ destroyed until
April 15 and that he immediate-
T> told the President about it.
Nixon cited fresh information
when he announced a renewed,
personal inquiry two days later.
—The Washington Post quot-
ed an unnamed associate of
Dean as saying Dean went to
the President March 20 and
said he was willing to "testify
freely and go to jail" if
necessary for his role in the
Watergate as pan of “coom-

Dean was described as feeling
such action by him. Ehrliclt-
