Federal Judge narrows IRS questions in slush fund probe
U S District Judge Robert Merhige ruled some IRS questions to Harold J Richards, ex president of Fidelity Corp in Richmond, Va,, were a fishing expedition. The ruling limits the agency in its tax evasion probe into Fidelity from 1971 to 1974 and could affect IRS efforts nationwide. Richards had refused eight of 11 questions, claiming invasions of rights. The decision partly dismisses an IRS petition to compel answers.
