A piece of rascality, which, from its
nature, may pungenty be styled bear
faced swindle. was played upon the
New York Stock and Exchange Board on
Tuesday Here is what the telegraph
says of it:
New York, Feb. IA great fraud
was perpetrated on the Stock Exchange
to- day, the greatest IN the history of the
institution. After the second call 4 man
handed one Of the pages letter addres-
sei 70 Moses II. Wheeiock, Vice Presi-
dent, which the page delivered to Whse-
lock, who at once read il 20 the Board.
1t was dated at the Western Union Tele-
graph Con1pany's Office. Now York,
February II, and formally notified the
Stock Exchange that the Directors Of
that company after mature deiiberation.
and acting, as they believed in accord
:ance with the ultimate interests Of the
COMPANY. had decided to increase the
capital stock of the company froE, 81.
0G0, 900 to S5O, 00o.6 Geo, and giving de-
tails of the proposed use Of the proceeds
OF the new stock. The letter was signed
by VIM Orion, President. Hardy was
the reading concluded. when the page
presented another letter, also addressed
to Wheelock, and which he also read
immediately It was dated at the Office
of the Toledo, Wabash, and Western
railway, New York Feb. II, and notified
the Board that ct the expiration of tlir-
ty days the company would issue 3d.
010. 900 OF new stock, and giving the de
tails OF the proposed use of the proceeds.
The letter was signed J. D. Cox. The
reading of these letters caused a great
excitement, and Immediately there was a
general stampede to sell stocks. espe-
cially Western Union and Wabash.
Amid the general confusion some mem
bers Of the Board had the good sense -
examine the letters, and being familiar
with the signatures of orion and Cox
PRONOUNCED the same forgaTies. The
officers of the Exchange Immediately
sent letters to the officers from whence
they purported to enianate. and they
were promptly returned with the infor-
nation that they were fcrgeries, and in
the case of the telegraph company the
statement was added that there had been
no meeting Of the Board Of Directors for
months, nor had the subject Of an IN
crease of capital stock been the subject
of consideration at any meeting of the
Executive COMMITTEES. President Cox is
in Toledo. Detectives are already on
the track of the perpetrators OF these
forgeries. and it is expected that a hand
some reward will be offered for their de-
lection. The Vice President was blamed
by some of the members for reading the
letter without first consulting the Presi-
dent of the Exchange, and it is stated
that the matter is under discussion in
the governing committee. The sales of
Western Union stock after the forged
letters were read amounted to 65, 600
shares and of Wabash 10000.
