Evidence Of Southern Bell Slush Fund Not Sufficient
A federal grand jury in Charlotte decided there is not enough evidence to indict Southern Bell officials over alleged political slush fund activities in North Carolina. The inquiry found no conspiracy or phony vouchers linking to federal campaign laws, though unrelated $426,000 fines by the North Carolina Utilities Commission were upheld. The case, with possible state authority referrals, remains unresolved for federal charges.
