...grand jury. If there are convictions on all counts, the consecutive sentences could total as much as 30 years for Mitchell and 25 each for Haldeman and Ehrlichman. Judge Sirica ordered that all seven men appear before him this Saturday to be arraigned and to plead to the charges. Trials normally are scheduled to begin within 60 days after indictment, although delays can be sought by either defenders or prosecutors.

...officials had been "applied to the defendants to plead guilty and remain silent"; 2) perjury masking the motivations of the defendants had occurred during the McCord-Liddy trial; and 3) "others involved in the Watergate operation were not identified during the trial, when they could have been by those testifying." After he had read the letter and watched newsmen rush for telephones, the import struck Sirica again, almost like a physical blow. He felt pains in his chest, ordered a recess in the proceedings and retired to his chambers to rest...
