http : / / articles . latimes . com / 2004 / jul / 29 / local / me - larue29 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 <m> person </m> 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 Associated Press 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 .

http : / / articles . latimes . com / 2004 / jul / 29 / local / me - larue29 Frederick LaRue , 75 ; Had Key Role in Coverup of the Watergate Break - In July 29 , 2004 <m> Frederick C . LaRue </m> , 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 Associated Press 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 .

The Harrison County , Miss . , coroner , Gary Hargrove , told the Associated Press 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 .

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 .

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 .

Felt died at his home in Santa Rosa , California , Thursday , the <m> Press Democrat </m> newspaper reported , citing Felt 's grandson Nick Jones .

W. Mark Felt , who remained anonymous for more than three decades as the source known as `` Deep Throat '' in the 1972 Watergate scandal that toppled Richard Nixon 's presidency , has died . Felt died at his home in Santa Rosa , California , Thursday , the <m> Press Democrat </m> newspaper reported , citing Felt 's grandson Nick Jones . Felt provided tips and information that guided Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as they wrote stories stemming from the bungled burglary of the Democratic Party National Committee headquarters in 1972 . President Nixon ultimately resigned as a consequence of the White House role in the scandal and in the cover-up that followed . The identity of Felt , a former associate director at the Federal Bureau of Investigation , remained a secret until May 2005 , when Woodward and Bernstein confirmed revelations published in an article in the July issue of Vanity Fair . `` Because of his position virtually atop the chief investigative agency , his words and guidance had immense , at times even staggering , authority , '' Woodward said in an article in the Washington Post on June 2 , 2005 . The story of `` Deep Throat , '' a name borrowed from the title of a 1972 pornographic film , assumed legendary status as academics and history buffs clamored to unlock the enigma that played a role in Nixon 's resignation in 1974 . As early as October 1972 , Nixon himself voiced suspicion that Felt may be leaking information to the press and Attorney General Richard Kleindienst had pressured FBI Acting Director L. Patrick Gray to fire his deputy . Felt denied his role repeatedly and stayed at the FBI until his retirement in June 1973 . `` The thing that stuns me is that the goddamn secret has lasted this long , '' Ben Bradlee , who oversaw almost 400 stories on Watergate when he was the Washington Post 's executive editor , said after the May 2005 revelations . Although he knew the paper 's source was a high-ranking government official , Bradlee did n't find out Felt 's name until Nixon resigned . Felt was one of many people rumored to be `` Deep Throat . '' Others included Alexander Haig , Nixon 's White House chief of staff ; former National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger ; Fred Fielding , assistant to White House Counsel John Dean ; and George H.W. Bush , the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations at the time . Speculation also surrounded former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist , whose poor health coincided with unfounded reports that `` Deep Throat '' was gravely ill .

Felt died <m> at his home in Santa Rosa , California </m> , Thursday , the Press Democrat newspaper reported , citing Felt 's grandson Nick Jones . Felt provided tips and information that guided Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as they wrote stories stemming from the bungled burglary of the Democratic Party National Committee headquarters in 1972 . President Nixon ultimately resigned as a consequence of the White House role in the scandal and in the cover-up that followed . The identity of Felt , a former associate director at the Federal Bureau of Investigation , remained a secret until May 2005 , when Woodward and Bernstein confirmed revelations published in an article in the July issue of Vanity Fair . `` Because of his position virtually atop the chief investigative agency , his words and guidance had immense , at times even staggering , authority , '' Woodward said in an article in the Washington Post on June 2 , 2005 . The story of `` Deep Throat , '' a name borrowed from the title of a 1972 pornographic film , assumed legendary status as academics and history buffs clamored to unlock the enigma that played a role in Nixon 's resignation in 1974 . As early as October 1972 , Nixon himself voiced suspicion that Felt may be leaking information to the press and Attorney General Richard Kleindienst had pressured FBI Acting Director L. Patrick Gray to fire his deputy . Felt denied his role repeatedly and stayed at the FBI until his retirement in June 1973 . `` The thing that stuns me is that the goddamn secret has lasted this long , '' Ben Bradlee , who oversaw almost 400 stories on Watergate when he was the Washington Post 's executive editor , said after the May 2005 revelations . Although he knew the paper 's source was a high-ranking government official , Bradlee did n't find out Felt 's name until Nixon resigned . Felt was one of many people rumored to be `` Deep Throat . '' Others included Alexander Haig , Nixon 's White House chief of staff ; former National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger ; Fred Fielding , assistant to White House Counsel John Dean ; and George H.W. Bush , the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations at the time . Speculation also surrounded former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist , whose poor health coincided with unfounded reports that `` Deep Throat '' was gravely ill .

The former <m> FBI </m> second-in-command who revealed himself as `` Deep Throat '' 30 years after he tipped off reporters to the Watergate scandal that toppled a president has died .

The former <m> FBI </m> second-in-command who revealed himself as `` Deep Throat '' 30 years after he tipped off reporters to the Watergate scandal that toppled a president has died . Mark Felt was 95. John D. O'Connor , a family friend who wrote the 2005 Vanity Fair article uncovering Felt 's secret , says he died Thursday . The shadowy central figure in one of the most gripping political dramas of the 20th century , Felt insisted his alter ego be kept secret when he leaked damaging information about President Richard Nixon and his aides to The Washington Post . Some speculated that Felt was the source who connected the White House to the June 1972 break-in at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee . He steadfastly denied the accusations until finally coming forward in May 2005 . In the last week of November , the National Archives released more than 10,000 pages of documents from the Nixon presidency , among them were the urgings of past and present FBI agents and other interested citizens to appoint Felt , then the No. 2 FBI official , as director . Associates described his `` outstanding loyalty . '' Nixon did not take the advice . Ultimately , Felt 's devastating leaks as The Washington Post 's secret Watergate source helped undermine Nixon 's presidency . Nixon , soon to be consumed by the Watergate investigation , passed over career agents including Felt when he selected loyalist L. Patrick Gray as FBI chief after the J. Edgar Hoover 's death in 1972 , just weeks before the Watergate break-in . Gray resigned the next year because of allegations he had destroyed Watergate documents . Felt 's supporters weighed in , with letters , telegrams and cards that have been in Nixon 's White House files all these years . `` He has the integrity , the ability , the experience and the image to insure that our FBI will continue to deserve and maintain world esteem , '' Harold L. Child Jr. , legal attache to the embassy in Japan and a 30-year FBI veteran , told Nixon in an April 1973 letter . Efton A. Stanfield , a former FBI special agent who was then an executive of the electrical contractors ' association , asked Nixon in a telegram to turn to the career professional to replace Gray . `` Mr. Felt is a man of outstanding loyalty , character , reputation , habits , '' he said . The `` fidelity , bravery , and integrity of Mr. Felt are unquestioned . '' Felt himself was the lead agent in a telegram sent to the White House by a group of agents asking that a highly qualified professional be nominated . The police chief in Kodiak , Alaska , made the case for Felt , and so did ordinary citizens . Writing from Brooklyn , N.Y. , Viena K. Neaville told Nixon that choosing Felt would be good for him because , `` You would be spared the tremendous aggravation to which you are subjected by so many factions . '' Nixon was spared no grief . He eventually chose William Ruckelshaus , who served at FBI only briefly . Deep Throat 's identity remained a mystery until Felt stepped forward in 2005 to acknowledge his clandestine role in bringing down Nixon . Bob Woodward of The Washington Post said he first spoke with Felt about Watergate two days after the break-in .

The former FBI second-in-command who revealed himself as `` Deep Throat '' 30 years after he tipped off reporters to the Watergate scandal that toppled a <m> president </m> has died . Mark Felt was 95. John D. O'Connor , a family friend who wrote the 2005 Vanity Fair article uncovering Felt 's secret , says he died Thursday . The shadowy central figure in one of the most gripping political dramas of the 20th century , Felt insisted his alter ego be kept secret when he leaked damaging information about President Richard Nixon and his aides to The Washington Post . Some speculated that Felt was the source who connected the White House to the June 1972 break-in at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee . He steadfastly denied the accusations until finally coming forward in May 2005 . In the last week of November , the National Archives released more than 10,000 pages of documents from the Nixon presidency , among them were the urgings of past and present FBI agents and other interested citizens to appoint Felt , then the No. 2 FBI official , as director . Associates described his `` outstanding loyalty . '' Nixon did not take the advice . Ultimately , Felt 's devastating leaks as The Washington Post 's secret Watergate source helped undermine Nixon 's presidency . Nixon , soon to be consumed by the Watergate investigation , passed over career agents including Felt when he selected loyalist L. Patrick Gray as FBI chief after the J. Edgar Hoover 's death in 1972 , just weeks before the Watergate break-in . Gray resigned the next year because of allegations he had destroyed Watergate documents . Felt 's supporters weighed in , with letters , telegrams and cards that have been in Nixon 's White House files all these years . `` He has the integrity , the ability , the experience and the image to insure that our FBI will continue to deserve and maintain world esteem , '' Harold L. Child Jr. , legal attache to the embassy in Japan and a 30-year FBI veteran , told Nixon in an April 1973 letter . Efton A. Stanfield , a former FBI special agent who was then an executive of the electrical contractors ' association , asked Nixon in a telegram to turn to the career professional to replace Gray . `` Mr. Felt is a man of outstanding loyalty , character , reputation , habits , '' he said . The `` fidelity , bravery , and integrity of Mr. Felt are unquestioned . '' Felt himself was the lead agent in a telegram sent to the White House by a group of agents asking that a highly qualified professional be nominated . The police chief in Kodiak , Alaska , made the case for Felt , and so did ordinary citizens . Writing from Brooklyn , N.Y. , Viena K. Neaville told Nixon that choosing Felt would be good for him because , `` You would be spared the tremendous aggravation to which you are subjected by so many factions . '' Nixon was spared no grief . He eventually chose William Ruckelshaus , who served at FBI only briefly . Deep Throat 's identity remained a mystery until Felt stepped forward in 2005 to acknowledge his clandestine role in bringing down Nixon . Bob Woodward of The Washington Post said he first spoke with Felt about Watergate two days after the break-in .
