sister, DR.. Robinovftch, were attempt
| ing to deceive them by snammlng
| There were certain features OF the
case, however, that could not have
been easily feigned and which date
back for some considera bles period OF
time.
One Of the experts has stated tina,
his decision that Robin Is insane was
arrived at after repeated careful ex-
aminations of the banker and more
especially what he had learned of his
actions during the past few years.
Robin Is an epileptic. That in itself
brands him as neurot1c subject and
infers susceptibility to mental disease.
It has been learned that he has suf-
fered for years from delusiOns of per-
secution. He imagined that he was
constantly watched by detectives in
the employ Of J. Pierpont Morgan
whose purpose 1t was to kill him. He
conceived the idea that he was di-
rectly descended from a royal Rus
sian family, while such, Of course, is
not the case.
For years he has covered the floor
of his bedroom with papers that he
might hear anyone coming in to kill
him while he slept.
He suffered from the expansive de-
fusion that it was his mission in life
to unity the working classes Of all
nations and make them rulers Of the
earth. All this information has been
CLEANED from persons Of nnQuestioned
integrity and who are absolutely dis
interested in Robins welfare.
There are many other points in evil
dence that Robin is insane which are
quite as convincing but less interest
ing to relate.
It Is quite unlikely that Robin
would carry on, for a period Of years,
system of deception entailins the
AI% IT.
would indicate simply for the pur-
pose Of eventually meeting the posi-
BILE necessity of shamming insanity.
1t is said further that his business
transactions, prior to his irregularities
were indicative Of deficient reason
ing.
indicate that the man Is a lunatic
then the doors Of our asylums should
be opened and those confined therein
should be let loose and all those out
side should be incarcerated.
1t should be known that Robin was
examined by a dozen or more of the
al were appointed by the court while
others were employed by the district
attorneys office and by Robin. All
were of the opinion that Robin was
insane.
The accusation that the experts have
been fooled, then, Is wrong.
The judges knowledge Of human
nature was not INDICATED in the end
for the end has not come. There is
no question in the minds of those
familiar with mental diseases but
that the future will bring forth in
Robin manifestations of deteriorated
mentality that will vindicate the alien
lists and will be readily recognized
even by the court.
The imputation that the experts are
mistaken in their diagnosis of Robins
case and that a lay jury and the
presiding judge have a keener knowl-
edge Of his mental condition is alb
surd and unreasonable-that all.

HASKELL DEFENDS
ROBIN ALIENISTS:
BANKER IS INSANE

The following defense of the ex-
perts who examined Banker Robin as
to his sanity has been prepared by
Dr. Charles Haskell, Of this city, who
says:
Since Robin, the defaulting bank
man, has pleaded guilty to the charge
against him of grand larceny and has
confessed to shamming insanity, ex-
pert alienists are in less favor than
before.
The judge and jurors who ignored
the opinions of brain specialists and
decreed that the man be tried for his
crime, are highly commended for their
sound Judgment and common sense
and Robins declaration that he is
sane and was simply fooling the doc
tors is taken by many to be a serious
reflection on the ability or integrity
of the alienists in the case.
Those who rarely neglect an oppor-
tunity to disparage the medical pro-
feSSion have fastened to present their
biased views and gloat over this
seeming error of medical experts in
pronouncing Robin insane.
The following is from the editorial
columns Of a local paper:
1.-THE utmost. honor should be be-
slowed upon Justice Seabury of New
has taken in the trial of Joseph G.
Robin, the banker and promoter,
whose schemes somehow went astray
before he had completed half the ruin
he had planned to bring upon inno-
cent depositors and investors. Robins
equally INSCRIPTIONS sister, who
happened to be doctor, at once
planned a defence of insanity for
him. and this was apparently sustain
ed by a number of experts who were
called into the case. Every effort
was made to quash the proceedings
on account of the alleged insanity Of
the accused; but the presiding Judge
stood firm. Torrents Of abuse were
heaped upon him from all quarters;
but he evidently understood the GRIM
inal he had to deal with and his
knowledge Of human nature was vim

self was a sufficiently cynical person.
towards the experts He said coolly
after he had changed his plea:-'You
can fool the alienists easily enough
and you can fool the lawyers; but you
cannot fool the people with common
sense.
While it is unfortunate that there
are a few medical. experts with opin-
ions for sale to the highest bidder,
this fact is recognized and deeply de-
plored by the rest of the profession.
The dishonest ones are already brand
ed as such and their opinions given
little weight.
Robin. however. has been pronounce
ed insane by men of the highest pro-
fessional standing That they are
honest in their convictions there can
be no doubt. There is still less doubt
that they are mistaken-not that they
never make mistakes but that they
have indisputable evidence in this
case that they have to do with a
man Of unsound mind. They were
well aware that both Robin and his

is the best, it is the sense Of the con-
ference that it should be earnestly
impressed upon the committee, that
all are in favor of having any one
Of the various Compensation measures
enacted, rather than none at ALL"
Samuel Beardsley of Shelton again
took up the cudgels for the TIiilquft
bill. He explained that the advocates
of that measure came out of the con-
ference unchanged in their views re-
garding the merits of the Hi1lQuit bill.
He warned the committee that the
adherents of the measure reserved
the right to fight for IL right to the
finish in this and succeeding legisla-
lures until the entire bill becomes
law.
On the other hand he agreed with
Mayor Fisher that the adherents Of
the TIilIquit bill do not wish to stand
in the way of any measure which the
committee may decide to report Mr..
in the strongest opposition 10 any bill
which proposes to lay an additional
tax upon the workingmen Of the state.
explaining that they are already tax
ed all that they can bear.

very interesting speech IN support Of
the Hillquit measure, reading q report
just issued by the Illinois commits
sion on the subject Of Workmen's
sion has prepared q bill that IL fully
as radical as the Hillquit bill In this
static, and furthermore has demon
strated with the aid of the most emin-
ent legal authority that such q meas
ure is easily constitutional within the
policing power Of any state.
E. G. Terry Of the railroad brothsr-
hood again voiced his opposition %
any measure which would establish
a lower rate than the railroad Is now
paying voluntarily to the trainmen-
for an unqualified Employer Liabf1-
ity bill which would remove all the
old common-law defences.
Peter Ahearn of Stamford, anoth-
backed up Mr.. Terry's remarks very
ably. He explained also that the
railroad men are not at all opposed TO
the Workmen's Compensation idea,
but wish to be sure that the measure
is a radical one, and demand EN-
ployers' Liability first to protect their
own interests.
On being questioned. Mr.. Terry
stated in behalf of the railroad broth
erhood that the Hillquit bill Is the on
quirements in the matter of compen-
sation.
"The compensation provided In the
Hillquit bill is entirely satisfactory 70
the other bills are not st to be men
toned in the same breath with it."
Sol Sontheimer OF the Hartford
Central Labor union spoke for the
Fisher bill. William Applegate Of
New Haven pointed out the advan-
tages of the Hillquit measure. Sew
eral more took part in the discus
sion The committee displayed tbs
deepest interest and each speaker
was closely questioned concerning the
particular bill which he supported,
and the meaning Of the various pro-
visions within it.
The hearing was the most interest
ing Of the four held upon the sub
iect. In view of the united demand
for the Compensation measure, and
the very favorable attitude Of the
committee toward that subject, there
is no doubt but that some sort OK a
COMPENSATION bill be reported.

In the House chamber, at 1850 Pm
Senator Judson of the joint commit
tee on Judiciary and Labor formally
adjourned the last Of four hearings or
the subject of Workmen's Compensa-
ton and Employers Liability.-the
proposed laws which are aimed to re-
store to injured workmen of Connec-
ticut the right to receive equitable
compensation for their hurts.
The Employers Liability measure
aims to sweep away those legal bar
riers which have gradually grown
through the technfGal ities, pleadings
and presidents of Mw-courts, until
they are at present a solid obstruc-
ton to the operation of Justice. The
Workmen's compensation kNw is plan
ned to bring full and immediate re-
lief to workingmen and their families
without the delay and expense OF the
law and lawyers.
It now rests with the joint commit
tee on Judiciary and Labor to digest

ings on these subjects. Probably

ton. Mayor Wjlls'7 c.. Fisher Of
Middletown has presented a bill pro-
viding for this com bination measure
and his draft has been approved by

All other labor interests in the
state have come out strongly Tor an
Employers Liability act without any
strings attached to 1t. and a Work

strong enough really to compensate

suit of this conference, which took
place in New Haven last week, was TO

ing il very much stronger, and to re-
mort that the conference favored
Workmen's compensation.
Mayor Fisher made a very fair
minded and impartial report, which
received the unanimous approval of
the delegates. In ending he said:
