MINN. SENATOR INDICTED

Sen. David Durenberger, whose 15-year congressional career has been plagued by ethical and legal troubles, was indicted Friday on two felony charges that he falsified his expense accounts to bill taxpayers for stays at a Minnesota condominium he owned.

The Minnesota Republican; his personal attorney, Michael C. Mahoney of Minneapolis; and a Durenberger associate, Paul P. Overgaard, were charged in U.S. District Court with conspiring to make false claims and with making false claims to the Senate.

If convicted on both charges, Durenberger could face a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. He vowed to fight the charges and finish his term, which runs through 1994.
