WATERGATE AND DEATH

In October 1972, Dorothy Hunt attempted to speak to Charles Colson . He refused to talk to her but later admitted to the New York Times that she was "upset at the interruption of payments from Nixon's associates to Watergate defendants."

Just before Hunt boarded the aircraft she purchased $250,000 in Flight Insurance payable to E. Howard Hunt. In his book ''Undercover'' (1974), Hunt claims he was unaware that his wife planned to do this. In the book he also tried to explain what his wife was doing with $10,000 in her purse. According to Hunt it was money to be invested with Hal Carlstead in "two already-built Holiday Inns in the Chicago area".
