Sandra Young Nixon shadow to hang over coverup trial WASHINGTON AP) From 3000 miles away Richard Nixon may have a bigger impact on the Watergate cover-up trial than any person or piece of evidence that goes before the jury First there are the tapes The jury will hear hours and hours of conversations with voice as well as those of the five defendants and other principals in the case Watergate prosecutors plan to ii troduce 33 separate presidential conversations Handling the case in court will be assistant prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste as had been planned before chief special prosecutor Leon Jaworski announced Saturday he was resigning Because the courtroom testimony may be conflicting the Nixon tapes will add up to the most important block of evidence in the trial Witnesses such as former White House counsel John III whose credibility has been an issue would ordinarily be troublesome additions to the case But when augmented by voice in conversations with Dean or when the former President discusses on tapes events about which Dean testifies the tapes become a kind of check and balance a second method for the jury to decide if they believe testimony While Nixon was resting his phlebitis-stricken left leg at his seaside estate in San Clemente Calif last week hundreds of potential jurors in Washington were being asked if pardon would affect their ability to return a guilty verdict against the defendants in the case in which Nixon is among 19 unindicted co-conspirators Many answered yes so many that the prosecutors worried that defense lawyers might pick a jury of persons unwilling to convict even if the evidence were strong enough Of course it is not publicly known how many of the 12 jurors finally chosen they are largely middle-aged middle class and female believe it is unfair to prosecute some of closest former aides while the ex-president goes free However the danger of a stacked jury was severe enough that US District Judge John Sirica devised a special method for the final round of jury selection just to make sure the defense had no special advantage Last week former White House chief of staff HR Haldeman became the second of the defendants to declare his intention of subpoenaing Nixon as a witness testimony is already being sought by former White House domestic affairs chief John Ehrlichman who wants the former president to back up Ehrlichman claim that he unsuccessfully urged Nixon to make a full public disclosure on the original Watergate break-in within a few weeks after the break-in occurred DISNEY CHARACTER CHECKS CHAMBRAY
