Dr. Timothy Leary has told an Orange County, California, grand jury that he decided to cooperate with Federal prosecutors because of the Watergate scandal.

This is spelled out in a transcript of Leary's still-sealed testimony which has been obtained and released by columnist Jack Anderson.

Leary is quoted as saying that as he watched the Watergate scandal unfold, he decided that the trouble with society is that most people aren't truthful with others. As a result, Leary explained, he has decided to keep no secrets from anyone.

According to the transcript, one of Leary's first acts was to teil the grand jury that his former attorney, George Chula, allegedly slipped him a piece of hashish while Leary was in prison. Asked what he did with the hash ball, Leary replied, "I took it and ate it."

Attorney Chula has since been indicted by the Orange County grand jury. Leary, himself, is reported to be telling federal prosecutors everything he knows about the weather underground.
