Bell Suit Verdict A Harbinger By K Mack Sisk
A Bell Systems wiretapping and corruption case heads to appeal as a $1 million verdict against Southwestern Bell prompts talks of a broader $20 million suit. The action, stemming from James Ashley’s firing in 1974, accuses Bell of widespread wiretapping and political manipulation. Ashley and wife Bonnie won $1 million in emotional distress and exemplary damages after four days of testimony, while Bell countersued accusing Ashley and a manager of falsifying vouchers. The case, tied to Gravitt’s 1974 death and ongoing jurisdiction questions, highlights alleged abuses and political entanglements within the Bell system.
