IA MEN ARRESTED.
Accused of Defraudng the New England
Railway


Boston. Feb. l4-Fourteen employees
of the New England Railroad are un-
der arrest in this city on complaints of
securing money from the management
of the road by means of false pretenses.
Two of the prisoners, ,Coyle, the timekeep-
er, and Messer, a passenger conductor,
were taken into custody several days
ago, but all the others were arrested
by police inspectors yesterday afternoon
or in the early hours of today. The
prisoners are: William l.. Coyle, time
keeper; Charles A. Messer passenger
conductors Alfred E. Sears, freight con-
ductor; Daniel S. Morton, freight con-
ductor; Howard A. Brown, 81 years old,
freight conductor; George w. Stan

One other employee is sSmanted in con-
nection with the alleged swindle.
Coyle appears to have been the ring
leader. 1t is stated that he has made
complete CONCESSION 10 Captain DuSai,
telling how the road was robbed, and
the part which different men took in the
affair.
The money was obtained, according
to the statements of Coyle, by his doc
toring" the time rolls of the corpo1W~on,
so that every week men received pay
for work not done. According to Coyle's
story. he was drinking considerable liq-
uor at the time that the swindle first
began, in April, 1896, and, as he could
not save money enough out of his sal
airy to crafty his tastes, he hit upon
the plan of altering the time accounts
as a good way TO get more money; says
he told his plans to other men, who fell
into tine scheme. He says that each re-
ceived, nearly every week, more than
he had earned, and the extra money
thus secured was divided with him.
While Coyle apparently makes a full
confession of his connection with the
case, the other prisoners have thus far
refused to talk, and will say nothing
further than that they accepted such
money as they found in their pay en-
