Cincinnati, March 2.-George B. Cox

Judge German has been presiding
over the criminal branch of the court

DEFENSE OF NEW YORK BANKER

He Is Remanded to Tombs and Will
Be Sentenced March 27.-Five
Other Indictments Remain
Against Him.

New York. March 2-5oseph q. Rob.
in, the fallen banker, pleaded guilty
to an Indictment charging him with
the larceny of SGT 900 from the Wash
fngton Savings bank, of which he was
formerly president Seven indictments
against him remain. He was remand
ed to the Tombs until March q, when
he will be sentenced. The thefts he
is charged with total $450,000.
The collapse Of Robins defense of
insanity put forward by his sister, DR..
Louise Robinovitch, and his counsel.
William Travers Jerome, had been
foreshadowed, when it was reported
that Robin said he was tired of all
this fooling;;" but nevertheless it
caused a stir in the court room.
On the night before the Northern
bank of New York, IN which Robin
also was interested. went into the
banks, Robin was committed to a. priv
ate sanitorium on afaidavits sworn out
by his sister and two physicians. The
sanitarium rejected him and he re-
turned to the jurisdiction of the court
and submitted TO arrest.
On the day he was arrested Robin
attempted suicide ON the way to court
by swallowing dose of hyoscamin,
but the prompt use Of stomach pump
saved him. On motion of Jerome,
Rlienists were appointed by the state
and defense to examine his sanity, and
they reported unanimously that he was
incompetent to undertake a defense.
A Jury sitting under Judge Swami re-
jected the finding Of the alienists and
Judge Swami complimented the Jury
on it's horse sense"
The case came to trial on Monday
and Jeromes preliminary motions to
dismiss on the ground that the defend
ant was insane were overruled by JUS
tice Seabury. Jerome followed with a
searching examination Of each tales
man and all Indications were that the
case would be fought to the last ditch.
The defense even went so far as to
challenge one juror for mental incom-
potency when he swore that he would
review the testimony of the alienists
in the light of his common sense"
but the challenge was not allowed.
Jerome decided to withdraw from the
defense and Robin. through other
counsel, pleadid not guilty. Through
Robins operations the Washington
Savings bank, the Northern Bank of
New York, the Carnegie Trust COM
pany and a string Of minor concerns
which he promoted went into insol.
vency. No full statement of his lar
cenies has yet been made public by the
state examiners.
