Civil Suit Against Bobby Baker Settled
The civil suit that spurred the Bob Baker investigation has been settled out of court and may be dismissed, Capitol Vending's attorney said. The case, filed in 1963, accused Baker of using Senate influence to steer a contract away from Capitol Vending, with unconfirmed reports placing settlement around 30 000 dollars. The action named Baker and several associates as defendants. Baker resigned from the post rather than face questions as Senate Rules Committee probes continue and a federal grand jury with FBI aid reviews the matter.
