...nail" Ellsberg. Hunt was hired by the White House as a consultant one week later. Hunt then wrote a memo to Colson detailing ways to injure Ellsberg's public reputation. It suggested gaining access to the psychiatrist's Ellsberg file. Colson reportedly relayed the memo to Egil Krogh and David Young, the White House plumbers assigned to plug news leaks, and urged its implementation. Finally, Colson has admitted raising the private funds (he says $2,000; other sources say $5,000) to finance the Hunt-Liddy trip to Fielding's office, although Colson insists that...
Colson will be in familiar company when the Cox indictments are returned, since Krogh and the plumbers' supervisor, John Ehrlichman, are expected to be charged in connection with the Fielding raid. Young has been granted partial immunity. Krogh, Ehrlichman and Young were indicted on burglary charges by a local grand jury in Los Angeles. But Cox is expected to level a more serious charge, probably conspiracy to violate the civil rights of Ellsberg, and the California authorities will presumably allow the federal prosecution to take precedence...
Bail was set at a token $500 for the four former White House aides. As a courtesy, arrest warrants were delayed for a week to give them all time to get to Los Angeles.

A county grand jury in Los Angeles last week decided otherwise. It indicted Ehrlichman and three other former White House aides-Egil Krogh, David Young and G. Gordon Liddy-for the plebeian crime of burglary. Ehrlichman was also charged with perjury...
...Howard Hunt, Bernard Barker, Eugenio Martinez and Felipe de Diego. The jury reportedly monitored the Senate Watergate hearings arid then replayed tapes of Ehrlichman's testimony to check for discrepancies. His indictment for burglary was based partly on three White House memorandums, especially a memo from Young and Krogh on Aug. 11, 1971, in which Ehrlichman approved a "covert operation" to procure the psychiatrist's files on Ellsberg. Along with his initial, Ehrlichman had jotted down: "If done under your assurance that it is not traceable...
