Former Teamsters President Roy Williams won a 45-day delay in the date he is to report to prison by agreeing to cooperate in a federal investigation of links between the union and organized crime. The Chicago Tribune reported that U.S. District Judge Prentice Marshall granted the reprieve in Chicago after Williams agreed to testify against nine reputed mob figures on trial in Kansas City on charges of stealing profits from Las Vegas casinos. Williams had been scheduled to report to prison this Saturday to begin a 10-year term for conspiring to bribe former Sen. Howard W. Cannon (D-Nev.).
