Police Lines at fremont.
The fremont Branch, at No. SOC Tre-
mont avenue, did a big business. Soon
after the doors failed to open the news
spread through the neighborhood and
depositors rushed to the bank TO try to
draw out their money. They were un-
able to get any Information about the
state Of affairs beyond what was con-
tanned In the notice on the door. The
crowd soon assumed such proportions
that CAPT. Brennan OF the fremont sta
ton called out his reserves and cstab-
ilshed police lines. which kept the ex-
cited dcpositors across tho street from
the bank building.
In the crowd were a score OF gyp-
sizes from camps on the Bronx River.
These thrifty folk have money In the
bank, and they were for getting II out

The police had a lot of trouble hand

II was the custom OF the manager
or the fremont and other Bronx
branches to 40 around Saturday night
at the close of business and tax the
receipts for the day OF the small
tradesmen who had no safes. These
receipts were cared for in tho bank
az a matter OF accommodation, and,
OF course. the method led the the nc
emulation b. the bank OF many ac-

prior to the present investigation. to
havs been known only to Robin and his
confidential men.
II appears that shortly prior TO this
time Robin, as one OF the witnesses says,
had stated that he would purchase
from the Aetna the stock u the Title
and Guarantee Company" On the
strength OF this statement or PROPOSE
tion-for there was no contract until,
In october, 19l0-the assets OF the Roch-
ester Company were turned over TO him
on March 81, apparently by Vice-Presi-
dent Stumpf and Secretary Lomax. and,
with their assistance. without the know
ledge of President Kelsey or the other
officers of the two interested insurance
companies. disposed of and manipulated
as Robin directed.
Robins Orders Sole Authority.
The only authority for transactions
which have greatly depleted the assets
OF the Rochester Company seems to
have been Robins orders and n two
year-old resolution Of that compan -
board PASSED under another manage
ment. After March 2S the Title ana
Guarantee Company's board had but
one meeting. that In October, to de-
clare n dividend. Stumpf and Lomax
made no report at that'meeting OF what
they had been doing. indeed, the pres
ent inquiry was based on a Justification
of the Aetna I~ndemnity's pass book In
the Northern Bank. The manipulation
OF the Rochester Company's assets was
not then known outside the inner circle
OF the Robin %coterie.
The day the securities OF the Roches-
ter company were put In Robins safe.
or the day following, IL exchanged" n
$4,000 certificate OF New York city cor
porate stock for bonds OF the South
Shore Traction Company. not then
Issued. and which. so far as the records
show. were evidenced only by a some
what mythical due bill. until Dec II
and then only by a typewriter interim
certificate, the value or validity oi
which is still problematical.
The $4,000 Ne York corporate stock
seems however, to have passed to tho
South Shore Traction Company. anC

the City OF New York as security fo-
such company's obligations TO the city
