A Case of Large Profits" Realized by an
Officer Of q Small Road.
From the New York Times
The story connected with the recent ar
rest of Henry H. Boody, in this city, at
the suit of Ransom r. Gable, President Of
the Rockford, Rock Island and St Louis
Railroad, reveals state of affairs in re
gard to that unfortunate road, very SINH
lar to the Erie line while in the clutches of
Fisk and Gould. The affidavit on which
the order of arrest was issued, is a volum-
inous document, containing over one hun
dred closely-written pages. 1t appears
that shortly after the Company was incor-
porated in 1865, Mr.. Henry H. BOody be-
came Director and Treasurer In this
capacity he had a large control over the
operations, and the negotiation of the mort
gage bonds of the road, given to the con
tractors, William Irwin 4 Co, in payment
for their work in building and equipping it.
The manipulation of these bonds he ap-
pears TO have made extremely profitable
to himself but to cover all ground where
money could be made, he went into part
nership with the contractors who were
building, and was to have forty per cent
of their profits. Of course, as treasurer
of the road, he was amply able to help the
contractors, and he appears to have used
the money from the sale of the bonds in
variety of ways to his own advantage,
and that of Irwin & Co He, however,
went into gold speculations, using the
money of the company, and lost heavily ;
but as it was understood that these specu-
lations were part of the ordinary financial
transactions of the company, the loss was
set down to its account OF the proceeds
of the sale of $S,000,000 of bonds he il
alleged to have converted to his own use
the sum $245,0O0 This sum he charged
on the companys books to Negotiation
Account, which the plaintiff asserts rep
resents nothing. at all This particular
sum appears to have been taken in 1
Lump, and from the affidavit of the Tn
der-Secretary of the company, who KEEP
the books. Mr., Body was very anxiou
to keep that special item out of sigh
when it appeared that an account of hi
stewardship would be called for. Durinl
the time he held Office he is said to hay
