ROBINSON
IN HIS own
DEFENSE
Says In a Letter to Brockton
People That Hs Was Slnned
Against.

The missing Charles w. Robinson and
Charles r. Wilson has been heard from
and the letter he wrote certain Brpckton
friends confirms the theory that the alb
sconding Brockton broker and the runa-
way Norwood grammar master are one
the same man.
The letter Is long one. containing 90
pages Of writing. 1t was received by ex-
press and was said TO have been forward
ed by friend. There was nothing about
the manuscript 10 denote the present
whereabouts OF the writer.
A large part OF the letter Is devoted 20
generating some OF the persons associa-
ted with him from any blame in his irres-
ular transactions. The writer explains
that his ruin was due TO his brokerage
business and his stock transactions In
which he unwisey undertook TO protect
his customers, as he claims. He also
claims that at the time when he left
Brockton In 1890 there was owing him
sufficient money 70 have paid all he owed.
Robinson denies that he took large
sum with him when he left Brockton, as
he was accused OF doing, claiming that he
had but 500 when he left the city. He lett
money I'm the Brockton banks with which
20 pay his debts. He went into business
make money, but the reward for his cap
ture forced him TO leave the metropolis
He went TO Mexico, but did not remain
there long before he came back 10 the
United States and settled In Texas. where
he spent some time on ranch. Then he
engaged in teaching. For four years he
was tho principal OF a grammar school,
and for tho same length OF time the head
OF the high school
After that he was the principal OF a
private school in the same place, the
name of which he does not mention. Be
fore he had been there very long ne again
became involved I'm speculation and for a
time was successful. in 1898 he attempted
10 speculate on larger scale, but the
marke, went against him, and he tnally
''obtained funds I'm the old and criminal
way. and according TO the lesson l had
learned too well."He was obliged 10 leave
and the same man.
In another place he became bookkeep.
err but the fever for speculation was not
subdued and he again became involved In
an attempt to make money rapidly. lie
claims that he made so, 900 i'm three weeks
in the rise Of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
stock. but the death OF Gov Flower
caused the market 70 fall and he was
again penniless.
He then came to Rhode Island and went
20 work on a farm and later obtained the
position in the Norwood school. He con-
tinued TO speculate but things went
against him. He complains of "the culpa-
BILE treachery' OF a friend in New Bed
ford who made all the recent trouble. But
for the threats of Brockton man. the
letter claims he would have returned 70
