Osborne in London Telegraph dealings and illegal stock transfers
In a sweeping inquiry, Osborne is charged with stock manipulations involving two certificates of fifty shares, selling at $25 and $26 despite original terms, and profiting $375. The investigation traces back to transfers through the West Virginia and New England Printing Telegraph companies, with attempts to influence police and alderman actions and to conceal assets. It also cites misused gaming implements seized by police and extensive use of liquor-dealer backed coupons to aid Osborne in a contest, amid conflicting testimony on ownership and duties.
