Bobby Baker Indicted
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) WASHINGTON, January 5. A Federal grand jury today indicted Bobby Baker, a former close associate of President Johnson in the Senate, on nine counts of tax evasion, conspiracy and other offences. The indictment charged Baker with understating his income by 54,558 dollars for 1961 and 1962 and with evading more than 23,000 dollars in Federal income taxes for those years.
He was also accused of conspiring to conceal much of his income in 1963 and 1964 from the Internal Revenue Service by arranging for payments intended for him to be channelled through a Washington lawyer, Mr W. L. Bromley. Baker, aged 37, was secretary to the Democratic majority in the Senate when President Johnson was majority leader.
