The New York grand jury, sitting as a
grand inquest. was yesterday to summon
brokers and operators before it in order
TO learn whether the methods employed
in Wall Street to affect the values of
stocks for speculative purposes are i'm
violation Of the law. The grand jurors
were particularly TO inquire into the
origin of the rumors concerning the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. The
proceeding is almost without precedent.
il is said and is the result OF charges
openly made that bear operators, for
stock jobbing purposes. recently circu-
lated a false report to the effect that the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit railroad was
about to go into the hands OF "a receiver.
The section Of the penal code. under
which the action is taken is quoted by
the New York Herald as follows:
A person who with intent 10 affect the
market price of the public funds. etc.
or of the stocks bonds. or other evil
dences of debt of a corporation or assoc
citation knowingly circulates any
false statement, rumor. or intelligence is
punishable by fine Of not more than
$1,000. or by Imprisonment for not more
than three years. or both.
