Show SERGEANT LEEPER As it turned out, the casual dress of men in Car 727 was crucial to the Watergate arrests. There were five burglars actually in the offices of Demo- cratic National Headquarters on the sixth floor of the Watergate office building. Across the street, they had posted a lookout in the Howard lohn-so- n Motel, which has a clear view of the Watergate. He was Allred C. Baldwin 3rd, a former FBI man. He had a walkie-talkiand his job was to alert the burglary squad if anything went wrong. The call to the police was made just before 2 a.m. by Frank Wills, a Watergate security guard whose suspicions were aroused by a piece of tape placed over the door through which the burglars had entered the building. It took Car 727 only two minutes to drive the six blocks from 30th and K Streets N.W., where it received the call, to the Watergate complex on the Potomac. e, Lookout foiled When double-parkin- g the car arrived, instead of at the entrance of the building. Sergeant Leeper found a normal space about 50 feet away. Then he and his two fellow officers walked not ran into the building. The lookout across the street watched the entire arrival and didn't give it a "cond thought. "Looking back on it," says Leeper, "there were four crucial things in our favor. The lookout told me later why he failed to spot us.as police officers the unmarked car, the legal parking pace, the lack of uniforms, and that we just walked into the building." This is how Leeper tells the rest of the story: "After searching a number of offices and finding nothing, we went into the Democratic headquarters. There, one ot my partners spotted what appeared to be a man's elbow jutting out from behind an office desk. He said: 'Put your hands up and lean against the wall!' "We all had our guns out and expected to see two arms go up in the air. But we were flabbergasted when 10 arms shot up toward the ceilmg rubber gloves and all." The three officers had only two pairs of handcuffs between them, Shoffler having left his in the car. So two pairs of the burglars were linked together, one pair of cuffs each, while a close surveillance was kept on the fifth man until the paddy wagon arrived. While they were still at Democratic headquarters. Sergeant Leeper read to the five men their constitutional rights. The action was repeated by Assistant Police Chief Charles Wright at Second District Police Headquarters. There their mug shots were taken. At Second District, the police blotter was filled out. All five of the men gave phony names, and some refused to tell their age or their home address.

James McCord gave the name of Edward Martin, Bernard Barker said he was Frank Carter, and Frank Sturgis, Virgilio Gonzales and Eugenio Martinez used respectively the aliases of Edward ene Hamilton, Raul Godoyn and Valdes. Leeper and his feliow officers suspected almost immediately they were onto something big. For one thing, the suspects were found to be carrying a total of $1528, most of it in $100 bills numbered in sequence. For another they declined the option of phoning for a lawyer, saying simply: "An attorney is on the way." Apparently they surmised that arrangement had been made for a lawyer to be called if thev didn't reappear from the Watergate. Sure enough, at 10 30a.m. attorney M. Douglas Caddy, walked into police headquarters. Says Detective George Badovinac: "When I saw that lawyer wearing a $300 suit arrive to represent them, I knew we were really onto something."
