Business Notes
VERDICTS
Win Some, Lose Some
</hdr>
<body>
<p> For a man facing the possibility of 20 years behind bars,
John Mulheren was remarkably philosophical. "You win some, you
lose some," said the fallen Wall Street arbitrager last week
after a Manhattan jury found him guilty on four felony counts
of securities fraud and conspiracy. The seven-week trial of the
former head of the Jamie Securities stock-trading firm was the
latest featuring a former business associate of confessed
insider trader Ivan Boesky--and the first featuring public
testimony by Boesky.
</p>
<p> Under a relentless cross-examination, Boesky stuck to his
story that Mulheren's firm bought 75,000 shares of Gulf &
Western to drive up the stock's value and enable Boesky to sell
his own shares back to Gulf & Western at a handsome profit.
Mulheren, whose attire throughout the trial ran toward
aggressively casual sport shirts, jeans and sockless shoes,
denied any wrongdoing, but the jury believed Boesky.
