EXTENSIVE FRAUD UPON RAILROAD CoNP,Ny
The Roc hester MON states that the officers Of the
Uhat W estern Railway. in Canada have been
engaged for some time past in trying to discover
the authors OF game Of fraud which has been
extensively practced, TO the pccunary loss of the
COMPANY. This company, like all other western
roads sell coupon tickets through agents in all the
eastern cities These tickets are furnished to the
agents, numbered and charged to them When
SOLD, they make returns to the general agency and
s"ngers, are returned also, punched or cancelled
ny The conductors. Some eight hundred tickets
valued at t5,uOO every time they are used were
lnlsSed-dld not come up from the conductors after
the local agent had made returns upon them This
1dct excited suspicion. and led to an investigation
hat was done and who did Il, need not be stated;
sufiice 1t to say that the fraud was traced to en-
rioyees OF the company-conductors being the
chief men In the matter. These conductors had
an understanding with certain checkmcn who
uavel on the Central road from this city to Sus-
pension Bridge, that they should sell tickets from
the Bridge to Detroit, to such passengers they
mlgGt ma IN the cars who wanted them. Indeed,
we believe these chez kmen were authorized TO sell
&c kets by the company; but they did not always
sell the tickets which they received at the office
Ihey received tickets from the conductors, which
they took of passengers and did not cancel by the
punch and resold them. 1t is impossib BILE to tell
how much has been realized by this fraud to the
perpetrators. They may have sold the tickets ten
times over, ard received full fare every time
They never sold at reduced rates at ALL this would
have excited suspicion sooner.
