made about 81 100000. The road is new,
is only 250 miles long, and had no such
vast traffic as the Erie railroad. One mil
lion dollars, therefore, though small in
comparison with the operations of Fisk
and Gould, appears to be a very respecta-
bic sum at least it was all that could be
got, for the road has scarcely more than
paid its running expenses. Mr.. Boody
continued as Treasurer up to May, 1871,
when the shareholders, or some other
body, contrived to turn him out, and with
him some directors who seem TO have
made a ring" in the concern. Before he
went, however, and as the price of his en-
forced resignation, he made the new man
agement give him release of all claims
the road had against him, which they did,
not knowing the real state of affairs, and
supposing that he had simply been pocket
ing perauisites. without actual fraud. But
when the books came to be overhauled
this mysterious negotiation account" was
discovered, and there being nothing to
show what negotiations had been conducted
for which $245, 200 had been paid, it was
concluded that Mr. Boody had appropria-
| ted this sum to his own use. Then there
was another item of about $4,000 which
was credited by him to a certain firm, who
denied and proved they had never received
it, and the company had to pay it again
Mr. Body had also charged to himself for
commissions" percentage, 'negotia-
tons. and innumerable other items,
which, together with his profits from the
contractors, went up to make the million
or so he made while Treasurer The new
President of the road, r. r. Cable, has
had the books Thoroughly examined, and
the result is the voluminous affidavit and
the arrest of Mr.. Boody, who is a resident
of this city, and is now under bail in $780,
600. The charge against him is the ap-
preparation of the $245, 900 and the $50, ,OO0
which seem to be the only transactions
which can be distinctly proved to have
! been fraudulent.
