WHITE HOUSE LAWYER LEFT LETTER BEFORE DEATH

White House lawyer Vincent Foster, who died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, left behind a note pointing "to a troubled state of mind," a presidential aide Wednesday night.

White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers said the handwritten letter - torn into small pieces and left in a brief case in Foster's White House office - reinforces the view that his death July 20 was a suicide.
