...been a decision in Mitchell's apartment on June 19 that Magruder should burn his records on the wiretapping results, code-named Gemstone. He denied Dean's allegation that he had asked Dean to seek the approval of Ehrlichman and Haldeman in enlisting the help of Herbert Kalmbach, Nixon's personal attorney, to raise and disburse payments to the arrested wiretappers. He scoffed at Dean's charge that he and other Nixon associates talked about out-of-court approaches to a Washington federal judge to persuade him to delay hearings on the Democratic civil suits until...

By late in the year, the defendants had been paid $460,000. Kalmbach used Ulasewicz for many of the hush-money deliveries; the two conversed from public telephone booths and used code names ("Mr. Rivers" for Ulasewicz, "the Writer" for Hunt, "the Brush" for Haldeman). Kalmbach decided to pull out of this illegal activity and did so in September...
