Deal with the Van Nordens.
On April 81, 1909. Dickinson an
nounced that he and his associates had
secured control OF the Van Norden Trust
Company, controlled BY the Van Norden
family. who owned also the Nineteenth
Ward Bank. and the Twelfth Ward
Bank, after the panic of 1907. The Car
negie Trust Company announced Off
cially that It was the intention to con-
solidate all three Of these institutions
with the Carnegie Trust. creating a
banking institution with resources of
more than S40,OO0O00 and capital and
surplus of $4,5OO,OOO, while the number
Of depositors would exceed thirty-three
thousand.
This plan was baked by the State
Banking Department. which objected to
the combination Of trust companies and
banks.

and the Carnegie Trust Company achlcved

Robins connection with the company
came through Charles c. Dickinson, but
Dickinson's family was quick TO explain
yesterday that Charles c. Dickinson left
the Carnegie Trust Company entirely
out Of debt. Stanton G. Dickinson. broth
er OF Charles c. Dickinson and formerly
treasurer Of the Carnegie Trust Com
pany, said yesterday:
"The company was o. X. at the time
Of my brothers death If any statement
is made 10 the contrary. I will prove my
statement"
Charles c. Dickinson's stock in the
Carnegie Trust Company had been sold,
a representative Of the family said. and
the estate was about TO be settled. 1t
would be found after all debts were paid.
# was added, that Dickinson left about
100000.
Robin was made a director OF the
company by Charles G. Dickinson and
the two men were intimately concerned
in many OF their financial affairs. In
1909 Robin had his paper in the Carnegie
Trust Company and Dickinson had his
paper in Robins bank. While Dickin-
son was in Europe the trust company
called Robins loan. Robin retaliated by
calling Dickinsop's loan, but Dickinson
came home and showed an agreement by
which his loan with Robins bank was to
stand as long as his deposits did not fall
below certain figure. He then brought
suit against Robin for $4,000 for legal
services. and this ended the friendship Of
the two men.
