Five men were arrested by the Washington Metropolitan
Police at 2:10 A.. m. on 17 June 1972, after having been
discovered breaking into the Democratic National Head-
quarters at the Watergate in Washington, D. C. The five
men had cameras and rather sophisticated bugging equip- -
ment. Although the suspects initially used aliases during
the police interrogation, they were identified as Messrs.
