Continued from Page One Txfld in trembling hands, Agnew told Hoffman, "I did receive payments in )967 which I failed to report for the purposes of income taxation no time have I enriched myself at the expense of the public trust." Hoffman said he regarded Agnew's no contest plea as an admission of guilt.

nAs far as the court is involved, the defendant is on trial for wilful evasion pf taxes for the calendar year HW, which charge is a felony in the of the law," the judge said. "He has entered a plea of nolo contendere (no contest) which, so far as this crlmi- nal prosecution is concerned, is the full equivalent of the plea of guilty." Hoffman sentenced Agnew to three years unsupervised probation and fined him $10,000. Agnew's resignation and plea were his part of an agreement reached with Justice Department officials who agreed not to pursue charges of bribery, extortion and conspiracy against him. Atty. Gen.

Elliot L. Richardson had personally directed the federal in-. vestigation of Agnew and described the evidence as damaging. In an unusual move, the Justice Department released through the court a 40-page document detailing the evidence amassed against Agnew on all charges, Including those that were dropped. The document charged that for 10 years Agnew sought and accepted thousands of dollars in cash kickbacks from consulting engineers in Maryland, the document, Agnew received half of the kickback funds, with the rest being split between two of Agnew's asso-) dates.

Agnew said he was innocent of all the charges except the one on which he Historically, whenever vacancies occurred in the nation's second highest office, they were left unfilled, the speaker of the House becoming second in line of succession. Until a replacement for Agnew is confirmed, House Speaker Albert is next in line and almost immediately after Agnew stepped down a Secret Service detail was assigned to Albert. Agnew's resignation came as an almost complete surprise. As recently as Sept. 29 he declared in a Los Angeles speech that the charges against him were a frameup and that he would not resign even if indicted.

Public reaction to Agnew's statement was mostly favorable, but sources have said the White House didn't like the manner in which he had struck out in self defense, especially his charges that the Justice Department was the source of news leaks about the case. In light of the adverse White House reaction, the sources said, Agnew began to think that he could not avoid resigning. In addition to the resignation, Agnew's no contest plea had an impact in several other areas: Judge Hoffman declared that all other pending actions in the case became moot after the plea, including subpenas issued to newsmen by Agnew's lawyers demanding notes and other material which might identify the sources of stories about the federal case against Agnew. Agnew's no-contest plea could help him fight any future government effort to collect back taxes. A government tax specialist not involved in the case said a guilty plea could have been used to buttress a civil suit to force payment, and would have allowed prosecutors in the civil suit to use evidence gathered in the criminal suit in support of the tax claim.

William H. Kennedy YALE-William H. Kennedy, 61, of 307 Jones, died Wednesday in Yale, Community Hospital after a short illness. He was born March 11, 1912, in Canada. He was employed many years by the U.

Other details and arrangements are incomplete. Thursdoy, October 11, 1973 But Agnew's formal resignation went to Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and was delivered by an Agnew attorney at 2:05 p.m., EDT, Wednesday. It read, starkly: "I hereby resign the office of the vice president of the United States, effective immediately." In a longer letter to Nixon, Agnew said he was resigning in the best interests of the nation. "It has been a privilege to serve with you," Agnew wrote.

"May I express to the American people, through you, my deep gratitude for their confidence in twice electing me to be vice presiden-t." In a "Dear Ted" letter of reply, Nixon said Agnew's resignation "leaves me with a great sense of personal loss. You have been a valued associate." However, Nixon agreed the move was necessary "in order to prevent a protracted period of national division and uncertainty." Agnew thus became the second vice president to resign from office and the first to do so in the face of a federal felony conviction. John C. Calhoun resigned on Dec. 28, 1832, after a disagreement with President Andrew Jackson, to run in a special South Carolina election for the U.S.

Senate. He won. Seven vice presidents have died in office. News of Agnew's resignation and conviction spread through the stunned cap tal like a brush fire, and what had been speculation about the possibility of needing a successor suddenly became the serious business of finding one. Nixon met almost immediately with the Republican congressional leaders.

Agnew's successor "will have to be a person who is able to be president," Scott said afterwards, adding that Nixon indicated his prime concern was finding a person who agrees with administration foreign policy. Nixon was asking all Republican senators, House members, governors and national committee members to submit names of possible nominees by tonight, Scott added. Nixon later met with Mansfield and Albert, to discuss procedures involved in succession and to get their suggestions on a nominee. Mansfield said after the session that Nixon gave no hint on whom he favored for the job. Democrats, who control both houses of Congress, have indicated in the past they will not confirm any nominee who is a potential presidential opponent in 1976 yet three men prominently mentioned fit that category: former Texas Gov.

John B. Connally and Govs. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York and Ronald Reagan of California. On Capitol Hill there appeared to be considerable sentiment for such senior Republicans as former Secretary of State William P.

Rogers, Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona and retired Sen. John Sherman Cooper of Kentucky. The 25th Amendment, providing for filling a vacancy in the vice presidency, was ratified in 1967 and the situation has not come up since then. The last time the office of vice president was vacant was in 1963 when then-Vice President Lyndon B.

Johnson succeeded President Kennedy, who was killed by an assassin. The vice president's office remained vacant until. Johnson was elected in 1964 on a ticket with Hubert H. Humphrey. entered his plea.

The evidence "establishes a pattern of substantial cash payments to the i defendant during the period when he served as governor of Maryland, in return for engineering contracts with state," Richardson said. He said there also was evidence of payments by engineering firms continuing into December 1972, almost four years after Agnew became vice president. But after outlining the federal case against Agnew, Richardson made an official plea for leniency for the former vice president. "I am keenly aware, first, of the historic magnitude of the penalties inherent in the vice president's resignation from his high office and his acceptance of a judgment of a conviction for a felony," Richardson said. of compassion for the man, out of respect for the office he has held, and out of appreciation for the fact that by his resignation he has spared the nation the prolonged agony that would have attended upon his trial, I urge that the sentence imposed on the defendant by this court not include confinement." Hoffman responded that he usually imposed short jail terms in cases like these as a possible deterrent for others, but in this matter would accept the agreement made between the Justice Department and Agnew.

Outside the courthouse, Agnew told newsmen he would make a public statement in the near future. Apparently Wednesday's scenario was agreed upon Tuesday night in a 40-minute meeting between Nixon and Agnew in the Oval Office. ted in the $14,615 additional pledges announced Wednesday: Division industrial, Transportation, Special Gifts, Division $800; Division $878; Public Service, $576; and Marine City, $1,771.
