Robinson himself has furnished the
proof that We were correct, and also o.
his insincerity in the case. His report
dismissing the case was hurriedly pu,
through the House, but when it was
found that there WAS 8 little too much
whitewash used it was unanimously
reccnsidered and referred back TO the
committee. This was staggering blow
to Peter Ppbinson, and as soon as be
returned to Dever from his Wilmington
junksttirg he resigned his position on
the committee. The iron OF insult sunk
deep into his soul, and now with q

lieves he was appointed to investigate
misdemeanors instead Of covering them
up, there ia some likelihood that Nor.
