Mitchell freely admitted, as the prosecution charged, that after Vesco's donation was received he set up a meeting between the financier's lawyer and William Casey, then head of the SEC. The way Mitchell told it, he was not obstructing justice, as the Government claimed, but helping it along-putting Vesco's people in touch with Casey so that they could discuss the case. Indeed, Mitchell defiantly jutted out his beefy jaw on the point. When the prosecution asked if he "willingly" called Casey, Mitchell said that he did it "gladly," emphasizing the word as though...
...spelling out Vesco's SEC troubles. He received thousands of letters as Attorney General, said Mitchell, and many were routinely answered by Justice Department secretaries without his ever seeing them. He also denied agreeing on Jan. 12, 1972, to set up a meeting for Sears with William J. Casey, then SEC chairman, to discuss the Vesco case...

Finally, he denied warning Dean, after testifying in March 1973 before a federal grand jury looking into the Vesco donation, that the panel was a "runaway grand jury." Dean testified that Mitchell asked him to telephone Richard Kleindienst, then Attorney General, and alert Kleindienst to the grand...
This year's squad does not look to be much of an improvement. The pitching corps, again a weak spot for the Lions, is headed by junior Bill Casey. The 6 ft. 6 in. hurler had a 2.42 ERA as a sophomore and will probably get the call to face the Crimson today...
