WATERGATE LAWYER FENSTERWALD DIES

Attorney Bernard Fensterwald, who directed some heavily spotlighted Senate investigations and later represented Watergate burglar James McCord, died Tuesday of a heart attack at his suburban Washington home. He was 69.

Fensterwald's other big-name clients included James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Fensterwald took over Ray's representation in 1970 after he already had been convicted.

As a Senate staffer in various positions from 1959 to 1968, Fensterwald directed investigations of price fixing, the drug industry and alleged wire tapping of former Teamsters Union President James R. Hoffa.
