A MAGNIFICENT swINDLER.
The Organizer of Various Bogus Corpora
lions Arrested at Boston.

BosroN, June 3.-James n, Langley,
alias Or" Langley alias J. Henry Langley,
known throughout the country as THE
King of Peter Funks," was arrested on the
arrival of the Fall River boat train. For
years he has been operating in the leading
cities of the East and West as promoter of
stock jobbing corporations, organized on
paper for swindling purposes. One corpora
tom is the United States Construction and
Investment Company, and another is the
Limited Live Stock Express Company The
CONSTRUCTION Company's' headquarters are
fitted up with great allegiance,
and occupied by small army of clerks
mostly Langley's victims, who were induced
to invest their savings to obtain situations
and who received neither salary, dividends
nor principal, which were all secured" by
blocks of stock in the construction company
1t was found that the company was sending
out beautifully printed prospectus, which
set forth that "the Construction and Invest
ment Company, capital stock $780, is au-
thorized by its charter to buy, sell and deal
in new inventions for the railway service. to
secure patents in all countries, to organize
corporations for the purpose of developing
improvements and enterprises connected
with the railway service, to negotiate capital
for the promotion of such enterprises, to
build railway rolling-stock and sell, own
and lease the same, TO construct
railways, to buy and sell rail-
way stocks, bonds and securities,
to own any real estate or personal property
necessary to or convenient for the business
OF the corporation" The prospectus further
Aa1 i
in all the railway cities throughout the
world" The capital stock is represented as
fully paid, with large surplus in the treas
ury.
During the last five years Langley has or
ganized score of bogus concerns. A Bos-
tonian named Worrell invested in one en-
terprise and lost fully 800 600. ALI Lang
ley's concerns proved worthless, while his
victims are legion. Langley is supposed to
have numerous confederates in various parts
of the country Langley is said to have
served term in the New York penitentiary,
and also to have several indictments stand
ing against him in the West. The costly
furniture and trappings of the office of the
construction company was mortgaged some
time since
Some weeks since John H. Langley, an
uncle. wrote to the Doctor that he was stop
ping at the Victoria Hotel New York, and
telling him he was in an Impoverished con-
dition and asking that his stock be turned
into money. He said he knew large sums
had been realized at Boston, but Nettleton
refused to give him any; that if he was not
cared for he would make it warm for the
whole party. The Doctor replied, recon-
mending his uncle to be of good cheer, and
stating that he would see him in Boston this
week. The reply fell into the hands of the
police and led to the arrest of DR.. Langley,
who is now IN Jail under nominal bond of
$4,000; which will probably be increased to
500 600 tomorrow
