The specs aren't very clear, but I don't think I would try it unless you 
don't mind a dead part.

Since it is known to be safe to ground the GND pin, and the logic inputs 
will work properly even if they swing +/-15V, I don't think there's 
anything to gain by connecting -15V to the GND pin (except one less wire 
:-).
