KILBURN DENIES PLOT.
Superintendent Says He Vas
Harmed Wire Would Be Tapped.
my rELEGRAPu TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Albany Aug. disqualification Kilburn of
the State Department of Banks when asked to-
day concerning the charge of Colonel David c.
Robinson, counsel for the New-York Building
Loan Banking Company, Of New-York City that
he had entered into conspiracy to wreck the
company, said there was not the slightest truth
in it, particularly that part of ii alleged to be
based information caught by the company
by tapping the telephone wires while Mr.. Kill
burn talking to one Of his subordinates at
work in the company's offices. This same charge,
said Mr. Kilburn. was made before Justice Her
rick when the case was first brought before
him, and although Mr.. Kilburn invited the
companys attorneys to present evidence of a
conspiracy. based on afidavits. they simply re-
piled by Withdrawing the charge Mr.. Kilburn
insisted that he wanted the charge investi-
gated or ended then and there. The court
promptly announced that the charge was dis
missed
The instructions Mr.. Kilburn gave to the ex-
aminers were referred to at the time he said,
but the companys attorneys could not show
anything more damaging than the instruction
that the work should be advanced as expedi-
tiously as possible and that instruction was
given in many examinations, with the interests
Of the company we'll the interests of the
State in view
Mr.. Kiburn continued that he had not been
ignorant of the extraordinary proceedings of the
companys employees in tapping the wire and
listening to what passed between him and his
subordinate through the telephone Mr.. Skin
ner his deputy. had cautioned him against
movement of that kind, but he had replied that
he had nothing to say to his examiners that he
would not care to have the company hear.
I'VE sometimes find" said Mr.. Kilburn, that
our examiners spend too much time over small.
insignificant discrepancies, and 1 have in such
cases directed them to be more expeditions and
at the same time to be thorough.
Before the company hit upon the plan of
tapping the wire the State examiners had con-
siderable trouble in getting at the true state of
the company's affairs" said Mr.. Fkilburn. The
books and data necessary for complete examina-
ton were withheld.
II then made" he added, "a formal demand
on the company's officers that the records be
produced. I thought it very strange indeed
that any effort at concealment should be made.
We finally got the books"
