Ill* Unique >le<hud?.
The unique methods employed by
Robin in juggling the fumls of his va?
rious banks Were inch, told In detail,
ft" well as tho history of his remark
able career. He had arrived in Hits
country with his aged parents and bro?
ther and alster wlu-n but twenty years
of ago. Ills lirst iitcp was to master
the English language, while his sister,
who had obtained her medical degree
on the other eide, secured employment
as a nurse In one of the hospitals.
Roblnovitch, afi he was tlien called
niter working as a bootblack, a report?
er, an Insurance agent and at various
other occupations, made tils way to
.Buffalo, where he made his first bi?
financial coup by promoting the prop?
osition to harness the Niagara rails
With a few hundred dollars he cleaned
up ?5f>0;000, and returned to New York
lb seek a broader Hold for tho devel?
opment of his talents. He llrst delved
Into teal estate, and after he had in?
et eased his fortune to ?1,000,0.00 lie
bought tho controlling interest in the
Aetna Indemnity Company .and the
Rochester Title and Guarantee Com?
pany.
About this time tin- Hamilton Rank
was being reorganized following its
failure during Um panic of 190", and
Robin; by a clever manipulation, was
able to get control of this institution,
which lie consolidated with the North,
ern Rank and tho Riverside Rank.
CaiHc of Crush.
Aside from the banking and insur?
ance companies. Robin organized ih<
Realty and Surety Company, tho South
Shoro Traction Company, the Babylon
Realty Company. aud the Fidelity Lie
velopmont Company, it was the pro,
motion *of these "outside organizations
that caused his downfall. He would
lisp the fund;; of the banks to bolstet
tip these enterprises, and give nothing
in return except worthless collateral.
The grand jury investigation showed
?.hat lie bad obtained thousands of del
lars from his bank; without depositing
any collateral. Sensations in the' Rob?
in case, however, did not end with the
arrest of the financier.
tin December 30 he was taken to
rourt to plead to the indictment, which
riiargcd him with the theft of $00.000,
end while In the courtroom attempt?
ed suicide by swallowing poison. The
dose, however, was not sufficient to
kill; and after n few days In the bos
1 Its', lie was taken to the Tombs pris?
on, no worse for the attempt It be
enme evident at this time that hi.; de.
fense would be based em an insanity
pica; and w;hethcr his attempt to tak.
hls life was the. part of a clever ruse
to bolster up this pica, or the act of a
desperate man, is ? question on which
Is a difference of opinion.
Another Interesting incident In tho
Robin case, and one which increased
the public resentment against the
wrecked b.miter, occurred a few days
Inter, when he mid his sister. Dr.
Louise Unbi novit eh. denied the It' par?
ents. This pathetic scene occurred In
the office of the District Attorney,
?where Mr. and Mrs. Herman Roblno
vitch. aged couple who lived in Brook
. lyn, presented evidence showing that
they wore the parents of the banker.
Rbbin, while admitting that they had
brought him from the old country,
?aid that they were no relation to hiln,
und that ids narents were in Siberia.
The following day seven more in
dielmcpui word returned agslinnt Rob?
in charging him wit'.! the l rieft of
S "07.000 fjotn the Washington Saving.*
Bank; In the meantime Robin's sis?
ter had requested the Supreme Coin"
to appoint a commission U> look aftei
bei brother's estate, stating that sh>
iviif, the bhiy living relative. This re
quest was denied oh .lanuary <, and
three days later Dr. RablhovitOi \vu.i
indicted oh the charge of pcrjui'y. In
making her Kpplieailuii she claimed tvi
be Robin's 'only relative, biit the ? isL

wits presented by five noted alienists
to the effect that Robin was lusani
and uiiHblc to confer rationally with
j his counsel.
Kobin was also placed on the stand,
and told a rambling story to the effect
that ho was the victim of the Standard
OH Company and J. P. Morgan and
that some one was attempting to pol
son him in the Tombs. Despite thi.
evidence. however, the Jury returned i
ret'dlet to the effect that Robin was
t-anc and should stand trial. Judge
[Swann complimented them on their
: Verdict, and as n result was severely
Mdtlolzcd by Mr. Jerome ami the

U. S. Spends Almost a Million

Puget Sound Navy Yard, February
26.?Eight hundred thousand dollars
fi>r a toy: This is the price navy men
say ihe government has paid, und It's
an bid, wornoUt toy at that. Accord?
ing to the statement of a navy pay?
master iure, the old battleship Ore?
gon is worthless. Further, she would
pro to pieces in battle: she is a "ti:
ship," not even a good "bluff;"
The Pacific coast demanded a Heel,
and this demand became so persistent
tii.it the government was forced to do
something. Accordingly the only bat
tlcshlp on the Pacific side?the old
Oreg?n?was ordfroo. repaired. Sh<
was towed into dry dock at. Pugci
Sound navy yard and patched up from
turret to keel. A force of mechanical
doctors hammered away almost ?1.
O00.000 worth of time and material in
a vain effort to put the old llghtet
hack In condition. Rut she couldn't
come back, navy men say. and now
she mopes around PUgct Sound, a sort
of decoy for foreign lighting ships to
Hit lh and settle down undisturbed in I
case uf war.
Other officers in the yard no not take j
such a pessimistic view of the Oregon. !
"She Is as tit as a fiddle," says one.
"and would hold her own against
many of the more m?(ii>rn fighting ma?
chines. Although she is slow, there
is no troth in the report that the old
ship is not sehw?rthy. Her armor is
heavier than that of the Nebraska, and
although the Oregon is two knots
slower, she is the belter ship of the
two. She can make as many hit;; as
the Nebraska in the same length of
time and with less surface exposure."
Some of the $$00,000 worth of re?
pairs on Ihe Oregon Include a new
battery, the heaviest on the const;
new lighting tower and the b-itest re?
volving turrets.
There is no difference of opinion borr.
regarding the worthlossness of three
Other vessels now lying idle at this

that these old hulks will never be
