when / arrived at Culbsrtson found the
town very much agitatsd. The people had
about fastened ths crime on hobinson. and
there was some Wild talk about lyncbing.
Advice from cooler heads prevailed. how

was a great elanor and cries Of lynch

when placed in Jail the prisoner col
lApsed and looked more dead than alive.
He declined 10 be interviewed. Robinson
was In the habit Of spending his time at
Rogers saloon prior to the murder. AZ the
proprietor of the place was in the habit Of
telling about the large amount Of moneI he
had deposited with Skinner. IL 10 supposed
by the officers that Robinson there con-

is believed that he suocessfully carried out.
Last fall it is said that Robinson, with
smother hard character. formed plans 10

Robinson's partnsr. however, weakened
and the scheme fell through. In speaking
OF tho matter some months ago Robinson
said: The next scheme have TO make q
