Doherty Profited 19 Million From Cities Service Deals
Washington report shows Robert Healy chief counsel of the trade commission testified before the House Interstate Commerce Committee that Henry Doherty, utility magnate, earned about 19.086 million in dealings with Cities Service Securities. Healy described a three year pattern where 1.169 billion in securities were sold and only 80 million went into new capital, with the rest used to prop up market prices on the New York curb. He noted 600 salesmen worked nationwide to keep prices up, and that some write ups inflated value. Healy cited letters from Chicago stock exchange leaders supporting his charge of market manipulation amid ongoing hearings on the Fletcher Rayburn bill.
