The following days seven more iu- dictments were returned against Rob in charging him with the theft of $207,- 'ino from the Washington Savings Bank. In the meantime Robin's sister had refjuested the supreme court to appoint a commission to look after her brother’s estate, stating that she was the only living relative. This^s^- (juest was denied on .January th, and three da.vs later Dr. Rabinovitcii was indicted on the charge of perjury.

Robin was arraigned on .lanuary 10th, and as he would not enter any plea to the indictments, the court or-^ dered that one of not guilty be present ed. 'Phis caused another interesting fight, Former District Attorney Jerome counsel for Robin, had contended all along that his client was insane, and should not be compelled to stand trial.

The case came up on Febru ary 1st before a jury and evidence was presented by five noted alienists to the effect that Robin was insane and unable to coafer rationally wita his counsel. Uobin was also placed on the stand and told a rambling story to the effect that he was the victim of the Standard Oil Co. and J. P. Morgan and that some one was attempting *;o poison him at the Tombs. Despite this evidence, however, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that Robin was sane and should stand trial. Judge Swann complimented them on their verdict and as a result, was severely criticised by Mr. .lerome and the alien ists who had figured in the trial. The jurors all said that they were of the opinion that Robin was feigning in sanity and Judge Swann backed them up. All of Ro.bln’s concerns are In the 'ATHIXnC CUT CLOrHE.S'* KAHN OREVFUS 6 CO.
