NEW YORK, January, 15.—How profits in the sales of Cities Service stock went to the Securities Corp., & wholly owned subsidiary, was explained yesterday in the trial of a suit against Henry L. Doherty and his interests on charges of misusing stockholders® money. Joseph M. Proskauer, associated with John W. Davis in the defense, re- marked at one point: “Mr. Doherty never took any profit personally for the services rendered Cities Service.” Seek to Recover $20,500,000. Six plaintiffs, holders of 840 shares | of stock, are seeking recovery of $20 = 500.000 from Doherty and an accoun ing of alleged losses of $80,000,000 from the directors. | Percival E. Jackson, representing the | plaintiffs, sought to show that money | assigned to the profit account of Se- curities Corp. in the sale of Citles | Service stock was lost by trading in the stock market. William B. Winans, controller o(‘ the Cities Service Co., testified that | after such sales the Securities Corp. | either bought more Cities Service stock | in the market or drew unissued stock | from Cities Service. 1 Prices Had No Relationship. In the latter case, he said, a price was fixed “which had no relation to the price at which the stock was sold to the public.” He said the price | never exceeded $50 a share for 3201 par value stock.
