MULHEREN DENIES ILLEGAL DEALS WITH BOESKY

Stock speculator John A. Mulheren Jr. took the witness stand in his own defense Wednesday and denied that he had ever made illegal stock trades in the mid-1980s with admitted inside-trader Ivan F. Boesky.

Mulheren also said he didn't know that Boesky was receiving and trading on inside information during the time the two men had a business relationship.

Under questioning by his lawyer, Thomas Puccio, Mulheren said he had never agreed to hold stock illicitly for Boesky and said he never accepted an arrangement under which Boesky would have protected him from losses. Mulheren is on trial in federal court on 41 felony counts of illegally "parking" stock, stock market manipulation and conspiracy.
