W. Mark Felt Sr. , the associate director of the <m> FBI </m> during the Watergate scandal who , better known as `` Deep Throat , '' became the most famous anonymous source in American history , died yesterday .
Felt died at 12:45 p.m . at his home in Santa Rosa , Calif .
On Tuesday , Oct. 10 , 1972 , Washington awoke to this startling news:
`` FBI agents have established that the Watergate bugging incident stemmed from a massive campaign of political spying and sabotage conducted on behalf of President Nixon 's reelection and directed by officials of the White House and the Committee for the Re-election of the President , '' The Washington Post reported .
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein wrote that story , but it would not have been possible , they would later tell the world , without the clandestine help of the most famous unnamed source in history , W. Mark Felt -- the man they called `` Deep Throat . ''
He was the associate director of the FBI , and he guided the reporters , all along insisting that Watergate was not an isolated incident but part of a wider conspiracy designed to destroy Democratic presidential candidates who might run against Nixon .
Instead , the Watergate scandal subsequently destroyed the Nixon presidency .
Facing impeachment , Nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace less than two years after that day in October when , one of his key lawyers would later say , it was apparent that `` in a general way and with the help of Deep Throat , ( Woodward and Bernstein ) figured out Watergate . ''
Felt died Thursday at his home in Santa Rosa , Calif .
He was 95 .
As the second-ranking official in the FBI , Felt possessed authoritative knowledge of what came to be known as the Watergate conspiracy .
Felt had personally witnessed the Nixon administration 's attempt to subvert the bureau 's investigation into the complex of crimes and coverups that began unraveling with a 1972 burglary of the Democratic National Committee 's headquarters at the Watergate complex in Northwest Washington .
`` He helped stiffen the spine of The Washington Post , which went out on a limb more than any other publication did , and broke stories that other outlets shunned , '' said Mark Feldstein , a George Washington University faculty member who is writing a book on Nixon and the media .
`` Had Woodward not run with it , Felt had a network of connections in Washington , ( other reporters ) he was talking to ... but no one knew of his connection to Woodward . ''
Felt , a dashing figure with a full head of silver hair and a reputation as a taskmaster , adamantly denied over the years that he was Deep Throat , even though Nixon suspected him almost from the start .
Nixon ordered interim FBI director L. Patrick Gray to fire Felt five times .
But Gray , convinced by Felt 's denials , never did .
A master of bureaucratic infighting and misdirection , Felt seized upon a Post story that had not used him as a source .
In a bold stroke , he denounced it in an internal memo and ordered an investigation into the leak .
`` Expedite , '' he commanded .
The next day , in a notation on another memo that passed across his desk , he pointed to a prosecutor as the source of the leak .
`` I was impressed .
My guy knew his stuff , '' Woodward wrote in `` Secret Man : The Story of Watergate 's Deep Throat '' ( 2006 ) .
`` The memo was an effective cover for him , the very best counterintelligence tradecraft .
Not only had he initiated the leak inquiry , but Felt appeared to have discovered the leaker . ''
Felt had insisted on remaining completely anonymous , or on `` deep background . ''
A Post editor dubbed him `` Deep Throat , '' a bit of wordplay based on the title of a pornographic movie of the time .
The source 's existence , but not his identity , became known in Woodward and Bernstein 's 1974 book , `` All the President 's Men , '' and in the subsequent movie version , in which actor Hal Holbrook played the charismatic but shadowy source .
It was n't until May 30 , 2005 , that Felt 's family revealed his identity in an article for Vanity Fair magazine .
The story , written by San Francisco lawyer John D. O'Connor , did not make clear why Felt , who was suffering from dementia , admitted his role after more than 30 years .
Woodward confirmed the revelation , and the secret was finally out . |

W. Mark Felt Sr. , the associate director of the FBI during the Watergate scandal who , better known as `` Deep Throat , '' became the most famous anonymous <m> source </m> in American history , died yesterday .
Felt died at 12:45 p.m . at his home in Santa Rosa , Calif .
On Tuesday , Oct. 10 , 1972 , Washington awoke to this startling news:
`` FBI agents have established that the Watergate bugging incident stemmed from a massive campaign of political spying and sabotage conducted on behalf of President Nixon 's reelection and directed by officials of the White House and the Committee for the Re-election of the President , '' The Washington Post reported .
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein wrote that story , but it would not have been possible , they would later tell the world , without the clandestine help of the most famous unnamed source in history , W. Mark Felt -- the man they called `` Deep Throat . ''
He was the associate director of the FBI , and he guided the reporters , all along insisting that Watergate was not an isolated incident but part of a wider conspiracy designed to destroy Democratic presidential candidates who might run against Nixon .
Instead , the Watergate scandal subsequently destroyed the Nixon presidency .
Facing impeachment , Nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace less than two years after that day in October when , one of his key lawyers would later say , it was apparent that `` in a general way and with the help of Deep Throat , ( Woodward and Bernstein ) figured out Watergate . ''
Felt died Thursday at his home in Santa Rosa , Calif .
He was 95 .
As the second-ranking official in the FBI , Felt possessed authoritative knowledge of what came to be known as the Watergate conspiracy .
Felt had personally witnessed the Nixon administration 's attempt to subvert the bureau 's investigation into the complex of crimes and coverups that began unraveling with a 1972 burglary of the Democratic National Committee 's headquarters at the Watergate complex in Northwest Washington .
`` He helped stiffen the spine of The Washington Post , which went out on a limb more than any other publication did , and broke stories that other outlets shunned , '' said Mark Feldstein , a George Washington University faculty member who is writing a book on Nixon and the media .
`` Had Woodward not run with it , Felt had a network of connections in Washington , ( other reporters ) he was talking to ... but no one knew of his connection to Woodward . ''
Felt , a dashing figure with a full head of silver hair and a reputation as a taskmaster , adamantly denied over the years that he was Deep Throat , even though Nixon suspected him almost from the start .
Nixon ordered interim FBI director L. Patrick Gray to fire Felt five times .
But Gray , convinced by Felt 's denials , never did .
A master of bureaucratic infighting and misdirection , Felt seized upon a Post story that had not used him as a source .
In a bold stroke , he denounced it in an internal memo and ordered an investigation into the leak .
`` Expedite , '' he commanded .
The next day , in a notation on another memo that passed across his desk , he pointed to a prosecutor as the source of the leak .
`` I was impressed .
My guy knew his stuff , '' Woodward wrote in `` Secret Man : The Story of Watergate 's Deep Throat '' ( 2006 ) .
`` The memo was an effective cover for him , the very best counterintelligence tradecraft .
Not only had he initiated the leak inquiry , but Felt appeared to have discovered the leaker . ''

A master of bureaucratic infighting and misdirection , Felt seized upon a Post story that had not used him as a source .
In a bold stroke , he denounced it in an internal memo and ordered an investigation into the leak .
`` Expedite , '' he commanded .
The next day , in a notation on another memo that passed across his desk , he pointed to a prosecutor as the source of the leak .
`` I was impressed .
My guy knew his stuff , '' Woodward wrote in `` Secret Man : The Story of Watergate 's Deep Throat '' ( 2006 ) .
`` The memo was an effective cover for him , the very best counterintelligence tradecraft .
Not only had he initiated the leak inquiry , but Felt appeared to have discovered the leaker . ''
Felt had insisted on remaining completely anonymous , or on `` deep background . ''
A Post editor dubbed him `` Deep Throat , '' a bit of wordplay based on the title of a pornographic movie of the time .
The source 's existence , but not his identity , became known in Woodward and Bernstein 's 1974 book , `` All the President 's Men , '' and in the subsequent movie version , in which actor Hal Holbrook played the charismatic but shadowy source .
It was n't until May 30 , 2005 , that Felt 's family revealed his identity in an article for Vanity Fair magazine .
The story , written by San Francisco lawyer John D. O'Connor , did not make clear why Felt , who was suffering from dementia , admitted his role after more than 30 years .
Woodward confirmed the revelation , and the secret was finally out . |

W. Mark Felt Sr. , the associate director of the FBI during the Watergate scandal who , better known as `` Deep Throat , '' became the most famous anonymous source in <m> American history </m> , died yesterday .
Felt died at 12:45 p.m . at his home in Santa Rosa , Calif .
On Tuesday , Oct. 10 , 1972 , Washington awoke to this startling news:
`` FBI agents have established that the Watergate bugging incident stemmed from a massive campaign of political spying and sabotage conducted on behalf of President Nixon 's reelection and directed by officials of the White House and the Committee for the Re-election of the President , '' The Washington Post reported .
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein wrote that story , but it would not have been possible , they would later tell the world , without the clandestine help of the most famous unnamed source in history , W. Mark Felt -- the man they called `` Deep Throat . ''
He was the associate director of the FBI , and he guided the reporters , all along insisting that Watergate was not an isolated incident but part of a wider conspiracy designed to destroy Democratic presidential candidates who might run against Nixon .
Instead , the Watergate scandal subsequently destroyed the Nixon presidency .
Facing impeachment , Nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace less than two years after that day in October when , one of his key lawyers would later say , it was apparent that `` in a general way and with the help of Deep Throat , ( Woodward and Bernstein ) figured out Watergate . ''
Felt died Thursday at his home in Santa Rosa , Calif .
He was 95 .
As the second-ranking official in the FBI , Felt possessed authoritative knowledge of what came to be known as the Watergate conspiracy .
Felt had personally witnessed the Nixon administration 's attempt to subvert the bureau 's investigation into the complex of crimes and coverups that began unraveling with a 1972 burglary of the Democratic National Committee 's headquarters at the Watergate complex in Northwest Washington .
`` He helped stiffen the spine of The Washington Post , which went out on a limb more than any other publication did , and broke stories that other outlets shunned , '' said Mark Feldstein , a George Washington University faculty member who is writing a book on Nixon and the media .
`` Had Woodward not run with it , Felt had a network of connections in Washington , ( other reporters ) he was talking to ... but no one knew of his connection to Woodward . ''
Felt , a dashing figure with a full head of silver hair and a reputation as a taskmaster , adamantly denied over the years that he was Deep Throat , even though Nixon suspected him almost from the start .

W. Mark Felt , who leaked information to reporters under the moniker , `` Deep Throat , '' about the Watergate break-in , died Thursday at the age of 95 , sources told <m> CNN </m> .
Mark Felt , known as `` Deep Throat , '' divulged information to reporters about the Watergate break-in .
Rob Jones , Felt 's grandson , said his grandfather died at his home in Santa Rosa , California .
According to published reports , Felt died of congestive heart failure .
Felt admitted in a 2005 Vanity Fair article he was the Washington Post 's source for many of its 400 stories on the Watergate affair during the early nineteen seventies .
The Watergate break-in eventually led to the 1974 resignation of President Richard Nixon .
`` I 'm proud of everything that Deep Throat did , '' Felt , 92 , told CNN 's `` Larry King Live '' in 2006 , his first public interview on the subject .
Felt 's entanglement with history occurred in 1972 after the bungled break-in at the Democratic National Party offices in the Watergate hotel .
Felt , an associate director at the FBI , said he was unhappy with the way the administration meddled with the investigation into the break-in , which led him to divulge information to the newspaper .

Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward , then-rookie reporters with the Washington Post , did stories about the break-in and subsequent cover-up .
Both men credited Felt for helping them , but Bernstein said Felt was a tough interview .
`` He did n't leak .
He had to really be squeezed , '' Bernstein said in a 2006 interview .
`` He confirmed mostly what we had gotten elsewhere .

Nixon Aide Fred LaRue Dies at 75
Published July 28 , 2004
Fred LaRue , a high - ranking Nixon administration official who served a prison term for his role in Watergate and was among those rumored to be <m> Deep Throat </m> , has died .
He was 75 .
His body was discovered Tuesday by a maid who entered his hotel room in Biloxi , Coroner Gary Hargrove said .
The coroner said he believes LaRue died Saturday of natural causes .
LaRue was known as the "bagman" who delivered payoffs to keep participants in the Watergate break - in quiet , and served 4� months in federal prison for conspiracy to obstruct justice .
LaRue served as special assistant to John Mitchell , the former attorney general who later headed President Nixon's Committee to Re - elect the President .
LaRue was present at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder at Nixon's vacation home in Key Biscayne , Fla . , where the plan to break in Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was hatched .
LaRue said he advised against the burglary .
LaRue discounted rumors that he was Deep Throat , saying the mysterious source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the Watergate story was probably a combination of several people .
Woodward says Deep Throat was an individual and not a composite , and promised to reveal his identity only after the source is dead .
Among the other people who have been cited as possible Deep Throats are Earl J . Silbert , an original Watergate prosecutor ; Alexander Haig , who was Nixon's chief of staff and Ronald Reagan's secretary of state ; L . Patrick Gray , the acting FBI director who lived four blocks from Woodward ; and deputy White House counsel Fred Fielding .
All have denied it .
After his political career ended in scandal , LaRue returned to his home state of Mississippi to work in his family's oil company and with its real estate holdings .
In an interview last summer with The Sun Herald newspaper , LaRue said Magruder lied when he claimed President Nixon knew about the break - in .
Magruder claimed Nixon approved the plan in a telephone conversation with Mitchell .
LaRue believed no such conversation occurred , saying he screened all the telephone calls on the getaway to Key Biscayne .
"I'm exceedingly angry about it .
I don't recall any phone call .
I don't think there was one , " he said .
If the president had approved the plan , LaRue believes that Mitchell would have told him .
"There's absolutely no way , because of my unique relationship with John and Martha Mitchell , that he would not have told me that when I was in Key Biscayne , " LaRue said .
"Absolutely no way .
I had dinner with the Mitchells four or five times a week .
It was not just a political relationship .
It was a very personal relationship . " |

Nixon Aide Fred LaRue Dies at 75
Published July 28 , 2004
Fred LaRue , a high - ranking Nixon administration official who served a prison term for his role in Watergate and was among those rumored to be Deep Throat , has died .
He was 75 .
His body was discovered <m> Tuesday </m> by a maid who entered his hotel room in Biloxi , Coroner Gary Hargrove said .
The coroner said he believes LaRue died Saturday of natural causes .
LaRue was known as the "bagman" who delivered payoffs to keep participants in the Watergate break - in quiet , and served 4� months in federal prison for conspiracy to obstruct justice .
LaRue served as special assistant to John Mitchell , the former attorney general who later headed President Nixon's Committee to Re - elect the President .
LaRue was present at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder at Nixon's vacation home in Key Biscayne , Fla . , where the plan to break in Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was hatched .
LaRue said he advised against the burglary .
LaRue discounted rumors that he was Deep Throat , saying the mysterious source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the Watergate story was probably a combination of several people .
Woodward says Deep Throat was an individual and not a composite , and promised to reveal his identity only after the source is dead .
Among the other people who have been cited as possible Deep Throats are Earl J . Silbert , an original Watergate prosecutor ; Alexander Haig , who was Nixon's chief of staff and Ronald Reagan's secretary of state ; L . Patrick Gray , the acting FBI director who lived four blocks from Woodward ; and deputy White House counsel Fred Fielding .

Nixon Aide Fred LaRue Dies at 75
Published July 28 , 2004
Fred LaRue , a high - ranking Nixon administration official who served a prison term for his role in Watergate and was among those <m> rumored </m> to be Deep Throat , has died .
He was 75 .
His body was discovered Tuesday by a maid who entered his hotel room in Biloxi , Coroner Gary Hargrove said .
The coroner said he believes LaRue died Saturday of natural causes .
LaRue was known as the "bagman" who delivered payoffs to keep participants in the Watergate break - in quiet , and served 4� months in federal prison for conspiracy to obstruct justice .
LaRue served as special assistant to John Mitchell , the former attorney general who later headed President Nixon's Committee to Re - elect the President .
LaRue was present at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder at Nixon's vacation home in Key Biscayne , Fla . , where the plan to break in Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was hatched .
LaRue said he advised against the burglary .
LaRue discounted rumors that he was Deep Throat , saying the mysterious source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the Watergate story was probably a combination of several people .
Woodward says Deep Throat was an individual and not a composite , and promised to reveal his identity only after the source is dead .
Among the other people who have been cited as possible Deep Throats are Earl J . Silbert , an original Watergate prosecutor ; Alexander Haig , who was Nixon's chief of staff and Ronald Reagan's secretary of state ; L . Patrick Gray , the acting FBI director who lived four blocks from Woodward ; and deputy White House counsel Fred Fielding .
All have denied it .
After his political career ended in scandal , LaRue returned to his home state of Mississippi to work in his family's oil company and with its real estate holdings .
In an interview last summer with The Sun Herald newspaper , LaRue said Magruder lied when he claimed President Nixon knew about the break - in .
Magruder claimed Nixon approved the plan in a telephone conversation with Mitchell .
LaRue believed no such conversation occurred , saying he screened all the telephone calls on the getaway to Key Biscayne .
"I'm exceedingly angry about it .
I don't recall any phone call .
I don't think there was one , " he said .
If the president had approved the plan , LaRue believes that Mitchell would have told him .
"There's absolutely no way , because of my unique relationship with John and Martha Mitchell , that he would not have told me that when I was in Key Biscayne , " LaRue said .

All have denied it .
After his political career ended in scandal , LaRue returned to his home state of Mississippi to work in his family's oil company and with its real estate holdings .
In an interview last summer with The Sun Herald newspaper , LaRue said Magruder lied when he claimed Nixon knew about the break - in .
Magruder claimed Nixon approved the plan in a telephone conversation with Mitchell .
Phone call disputed
LaRue believed no such conversation occurred , saying he screened all the telephone calls on the getaway to Key Biscayne .
"I'm exceedingly angry about it .
I don't recall any phone call .
I don't think there was one , " he said .
If the president had approved the plan , LaRue believes that Mitchell would have told him .
"There's absolutely no way , because of my unique relationship with John and Martha Mitchell , that he would not have told me that when I was in Key Biscayne , " LaRue said .
"Absolutely no way .

<m> Fred LaRue </m> , Watergate figure , dies at 75
Nixon administration aide was 'bagman' in cover - up
updated 7 / 28 / 2004 3 : 02 : 00 PM ET
Fred LaRue , a high - ranking Nixon administration official who served a prison term for his role in Watergate and was among those rumored to be Deep Throat , has died .
He was 75 .
His body was discovered Tuesday by a maid who entered his hotel room in Biloxi , Coroner Gary Hargrove said .
The coroner said he believes LaRue died Saturday of natural causes .
LaRue was known as the "bagman" who delivered payoffs to keep participants in the Watergate break - in quiet , and served 4� months in federal prison for conspiracy to obstruct justice .
LaRue served as special assistant to John Mitchell , the former attorney general who later headed President Nixon's Committee to Re - elect the President .
LaRue was present at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder at Nixon's vacation home in Key Biscayne , Fla . , where the plan to break in Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was hatched .
LaRue said he advised against the burglary .
Deep Throat connection ?
LaRue discounted rumors that he was Deep Throat , saying the mysterious source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the Watergate story was probably a combination of several people .
Woodward says Deep Throat was an individual and not a composite , and promised to reveal his identity only after the source is dead .

The coroner said he believes LaRue died Saturday of natural causes .
LaRue was known as the "bagman" who delivered payoffs to keep participants in the Watergate break - in quiet , and served 4� months in federal prison for conspiracy to obstruct justice .
LaRue served as special assistant to John Mitchell , the former attorney general who later headed President Nixon's Committee to Re - elect the President .
LaRue was present at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder at Nixon's vacation home in Key Biscayne , Fla . , where the plan to break in Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was hatched .
LaRue said he advised against the burglary .
Deep Throat connection ?
LaRue discounted rumors that he was Deep Throat , saying the mysterious source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the Watergate story was probably a combination of several people .
Woodward says Deep Throat was an individual and not a composite , and promised to reveal his identity only after the source is dead .
A request for comment from Woodward left with the newspaper Wednesday was not immediately returned .
Among the other people who have been cited as possible Deep Throats are Earl J . Silbert , an original Watergate prosecutor ; Alexander Haig , who was Nixon's chief of staff and Ronald Reagan's secretary of state ; L . Patrick Gray , the acting FBI director who lived four blocks from Woodward ; and deputy White House counsel Fred Fielding .
All have denied it .
After his political career ended in scandal , LaRue returned to his home state of Mississippi to work in his family's oil company and with its real estate holdings .
In an interview last summer with The Sun Herald newspaper , LaRue said Magruder lied when he claimed Nixon knew about the break - in .
Magruder claimed Nixon approved the plan in a telephone conversation with Mitchell .
Phone call disputed
LaRue believed no such conversation occurred , saying he screened all the telephone calls on the getaway to Key Biscayne .
"I'm exceedingly angry about it .
I don't recall any phone call .
I don't think there was one , " he said .
If the president had approved the plan , LaRue believes that Mitchell would have told him .
"There's absolutely no way , because of my unique relationship with John and Martha Mitchell , that he would not have told me that when I was in Key Biscayne , " LaRue said .
"Absolutely no way .
I had dinner with the Mitchells four or five times a week .
It was not just a political relationship .
It was a very personal relationship . " |

Fred LaRue , Watergate figure , dies at 75
Nixon administration aide was 'bagman' in cover - up
updated 7 / 28 / 2004 3 : 02 : 00 PM ET
Fred LaRue , a high - ranking Nixon administration official who served a prison term for his role in Watergate and was among those rumored to be Deep Throat , has died .
He was 75 .
His body was discovered Tuesday by a maid who entered his hotel room in Biloxi , Coroner Gary Hargrove <m> said </m> .
The coroner said he believes LaRue died Saturday of natural causes .
LaRue was known as the "bagman" who delivered payoffs to keep participants in the Watergate break - in quiet , and served 4� months in federal prison for conspiracy to obstruct justice .
LaRue served as special assistant to John Mitchell , the former attorney general who later headed President Nixon's Committee to Re - elect the President .
LaRue was present at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder at Nixon's vacation home in Key Biscayne , Fla . , where the plan to break in Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was hatched .
LaRue said he advised against the burglary .
Deep Throat connection ?
LaRue discounted rumors that he was Deep Throat , saying the mysterious source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the Watergate story was probably a combination of several people .
Woodward says Deep Throat was an individual and not a composite , and promised to reveal his identity only after the source is dead .
A request for comment from Woodward left with the newspaper Wednesday was not immediately returned .
Among the other people who have been cited as possible Deep Throats are Earl J . Silbert , an original Watergate prosecutor ; Alexander Haig , who was Nixon's chief of staff and Ronald Reagan's secretary of state ; L . Patrick Gray , the acting FBI director who lived four blocks from Woodward ; and deputy White House counsel Fred Fielding .
All have denied it .
After his political career ended in scandal , LaRue returned to his home state of Mississippi to work in his family's oil company and with its real estate holdings .
In an interview last summer with The Sun Herald newspaper , LaRue said Magruder lied when he claimed Nixon knew about the break - in .
Magruder claimed Nixon approved the plan in a telephone conversation with Mitchell .
Phone call disputed
LaRue believed no such conversation occurred , saying he screened all the telephone calls on the getaway to Key Biscayne .
"I'm exceedingly angry about it .
I don't recall any phone call .
I don't think there was one , " he said .
If the president had approved the plan , LaRue believes that Mitchell would have told him .
"There's absolutely no way , because of my unique relationship with John and Martha Mitchell , that he would not have told me that when I was in Key Biscayne , " LaRue said .

Frederick LaRue , 75 ; Had Key Role in Coverup of the Watergate Break - In
July 29 , 2004
Frederick C . LaRue , a Mississippi oil heir who became the first person found guilty of participating in the Watergate coverup and was among those rumored to be the mysterious Deep Throat , has died at 75 .
LaRue's body was found Tuesday by a maid at the Biloxi hotel where he was staying .
The Harrison County , Miss . , coroner , Gary Hargrove , told the <m> Associated Press </m> that LaRue is believed to have died Saturday of natural causes .
A close friend and associate of John Mitchell - - President Nixon's attorney general and later his reelection campaign director - - LaRue became a trusted member of the administration in 1969 , even though he did not have a salary , a title or a listing in the White House directory .
Described as a skillful behind - the - scenes operator , he was present at a key meeting in 1972 between Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder when the plan to break into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was approved .
LaRue became a central figure in the Watergate coverup as the "bagman" who delivered hush money to participants in the bungled break - in .
On June 27 , 1973 , he pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiring to obstruct justice and began cooperating with prosecutors .
He served five months in federal prison .
He remained an ardent defender of Nixon , speaking out as recently as last year to assail Magruder's assertions in a PBS program that the president ordered the illegal entry and bugging at the Watergate .
LaRue had experienced scandal and tragedy before he ever entered Nixon's inner circle .
His father , Ike Parsons LaRue , had served jail time for banking violations .
Later , in 1954 , he struck oil in Mississippi .
Young Frederick worked in the oil field alongside other relatives for several years , until it was sold for a reported $30 million in 1967 .
That same year he shot and killed his father in a hunting accident in Canada .
Various reports suggest that the LaRues never had control of the oil fortune or that they squandered it in bad investments .
When Frederick LaRue's name started appearing in newspapers in connection with the Watergate controversy , he told a reporter that he was "no millionaire . "
The family wealth , however , established him as a power in Mississippi politics in the 1960s .
He was a major contributor to Arizona Republican Sen . Barry Goldwater's failed 1964 presidential bid .
In 1967 LaRue became a generous friend of the Nixon campaign .
When the Republican National Convention came around the following year , he was a key Southern strategist in the Nixon election drive .
In 1972 , after Mitchell resigned as attorney general to head the Committee to Re - Elect the President , known as CREEP , LaRue became a hard - core member of the "Mitchell group" at CREEP , along with Robert C . Mardian and Henry S . Fleming .
He also worked closely with Magruder , the deputy campaign manager .
They became so close that they were often referred to as one person , "Magrue . "
LaRue was with Magruder , Mitchell and Mardian at a campaign stop in Los Angeles when the Watergate burglars were arrested , on June 17 , 1972 .
G . Gordon Liddy , one of "the plumbers" - - the nickname for the clandestine White House operation that carried out the burglary - - phoned Magruder and LaRue during breakfast to break the news .
Magruder took the call .
"He said , 'That's Gordon Liddy .
He wants me to go out to some air base and talk on a secure phone , ' " LaRue , recalling Magruder's words , told the Biloxi Sun Herald last year .
"I said , 'Go get the damned pay phone .
That's just as good , and find out what he wants . ' "
According to Magruder's testimony before the Senate Watergate committee - - an account reportedly confirmed by LaRue - - he and LaRue worked in lock - step with Mitchell and Mardian from that day forward to concoct and maintain a coverup story .
"I joined in that coverup , at least by acquiescence , " LaRue said in a statement after he admitted the government's charges against him .
He also joined Mardian in destroying documents and financial records pertaining to the Watergate operation .
Additionally , LaRue received more than $300 , 000 in cash , which he distributed to Watergate defendants and their lawyers .
James W . McCord Jr . , one of the men arrested at the Watergate complex , said at the time that the money was paid to ensure that all the defendants would plead guilty and remain silent .
Of the seven defendants , McCord and Liddy refused to plead guilty , but all were found guilty of conspiracy , burglary and wiretapping .
Although the first to plead guilty in the coverup case , LaRue was the last defendant to be sentenced .
He served most of a six - month sentence before returning to Mississippi .
He was often mentioned as among those thought to be Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward's shadowy inside source , Deep Throat .
Other candidates included Alexander Haig , Nixon's chief of staff and later President Reagan's secretary of State ; Earl J . Silbert , an original Watergate prosecutor ; and L . Patrick Gray , the acting FBI director , who lived near Woodward .
LaRue denied the distinction , as did all the others , and conjectured that the legendary source was actually an amalgamation of figures close to the scandal .
"Who . . . would it have been ? " he mused in an interview with a Biloxi reporter recently .
"There were not that many people who knew the inside and out of what was going on .
I don't think it would have been Magruder .
It wasn't me . "
Woodward , who said he would reveal Deep Throat's identity after the source died , could not be reached Wednesday . |
