break-i- n at Democratic YORK NEW Party headquarters — to the 'J present The charge said they tried to impede the Watergate investigation by lying “craft trickery and dishonest means” The grand jury charged “the conspirators would at various times remove conceal alter and destroy documents parecords and pers objects” It said they planned and gave testimony raised money for the break-i- n defendants of- fered them executive clemency and leniency and tried to get inside information from the FBI about the progress of the investigation The coming of McCulloch’s bulldozers will spell the end of a town that wrote some of Utah’s most colorful — and most tragic — history The town has known boom and bust It’s payrolls have been stolen by outlaw Butch Cassidy It endured the worst mining disaster in Utah history Most of the townspeople are second — and residents and in the words of one of them “Hate to see the old town go” Yet persons interviewed seem to accept it and none was found who bitterly opposed it “For us it’s bad” says Annie Mills 71 who says she has lived in Castle Gate longer than anyone else “I hate to move from the town where I was bom and raised But I’m not the only one to consider There are a lot of people who need work” she looks inviting to men young enough to return to the mines COAL MINERS ' “After the McCulloch plant is built some of the coal miners can come back and work in Castle Gate” Tabone says Castle Cate is in the coal-ric- h area of central Utah which is anticipating a boom as increasing amounts of coal are used to meet energy needs Mrs Mills said McCulloch gave the town’s residents a number of options in which the company would help them settle elsewhere All but 12 families decided to let the company relocate their houses on property purchased by the company in Helper 3!'2 miles away she said Mrs Mills says she considered renting an apartment in Salt Lake City but that “I was in Salt Lake for almost two weeks recently and I almost flipped my lid I guess I just love this dirty old mining depot and several homes Mrs Zobell recalls that the town had warning and people were able to get to higher ground The mine disaster occurred in March 1924 Ariotti was only seven but he remembers “the three loud blasts Women came running out of their homes into the street” he recalls The explosions caused by trapped gases took the lives of 173 miners ROWS OF COFFINS “After the explosion coffins were lying in a hall where we had danced just a week before” recalls Mrs Zobell “There were rows upon rows of JURY KEEPS SECRET
