ALL BILLIARD GOT
WAS ABOUT $3.50, 600
Mellen Makes a Revelation
and Tells of Boston
Bankers Profits

New Yor, Nov. 26.--John Billiard, the
coal dealer, never got the 81 100000 profit
that was due him as the result of his
famous deal with the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, whereby
he bought lO0,94s shares of Boston and
Maine stock from the road at l25 and
sold it back year later at $780, This
was brought out Wednesday at the trial
of the ii former directors Of the road
on the charge of criminal violation OF
the Sherman law.
The late j. p. Morgan, according to the
testimony of Charles S. Mellen, objected
to the profit as 'uncons"ionable" and
said that she could not, and would not
stand for it," As a result, the board oil
directors passed resolution requiring
Billiard, before the transaction wcz con-
summated, to turn over all his profits,
less reasonable compensation, to the
New Haven Just what the compensa-
ton was the government had not brought
out when the trial adjourned Wednes-
day, but it was understood that the pros
ecution expected to prove that it was IN
the neighborhood OF Sl50000
The government was delayed in get
ting to this testimony by an argument
over the admission of minutes OF the
board of directors, which purported to
show that in accordance to the resolu-
ton, Billiards profits, his demand notes,
and the stock of the Billiard company
were assigned by him into the treasury
of the New England Navigation com
pany. a New Haven subsidiary.
Judge Hunt ruled the evidence out
after Mr.. Mellen had testified that the
minutes did not accurately represent
report he had made TO the board on the
adjustment he had made with Billiard.
There was little discrepancy OF a
million dollars, that's all" remarked the
witness, adding that the late j. G. Par
ker. secretary of the beard, had IN
correctly recorded the proceedings.
The Billiard deal was arranged, accord
ing to the government, so that the New
Haven could keep control of the Boston
and Maine until an act was passed by
the Massachusetts legislature permitting
il TO own il legally. The governments
chief purpose in int odueng the disputed
minutes was 10 show that in spite OF
the contention of the defense, Billiard
was free agent, While he owned the
stock the New Haven appeared TO have
sufficient control over him to induce him
to give up his profits.
r. l.. Bats, after stating that he
would seek TO prove by other testimony
that the minutes were correct, asked
Mr.. Mellen if the attention Of the board
had ever been called to the alleged in
accuracy,
ayes, about two and half months
later" he replied. 81 was going TO use
the shorthand method to correct it

ing to Mr. Ledyard lewis Cass Ledyard,
