- <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.
