Indictments Expected.

Joseph @. Robin, awaiting trial on eight
indictments charging grand larceny in
connection with the closing Of the North
ern Bank and the Washington Savings
Bank, was indicted yesterday for per-
jury in having petitioned the Supreme
Court for the appointment of a commits
sion to manage her brothers estate, al
leging he was a lunatic
Earlier in the day Robin pleaded not
guilty TO seven of the indictments
against him. involving S127,O0O, reported
by the grand jury since he pleaded not
guilty To the indictment which charged
the larceny Of $4,000 from the Wash
ington Savings Bank.
This makes the larcenies from the
Washington Savings Bank Of which
Robin is accused amount to S207,O00.
II was expected that the grand jury
would report indictments to-day against
men associated with Robin in some of his
ventures. Reports yesterday implied
that if in the batch of indictments ex-
rected to-day some were not aimed at
associates Of Robin in the Railway Trac-
lion and Construction Company such in
dictments might be expected later.
The rumors went so far as TO suggest
the probability Of the investigation Of
the traction company involving city Off
cials. The books of the Railway Trac-
tion and Construction Company were
turned over t. the grand jury yesterday
by former District Attorney Jerome.
Robins counsel Mr.. Jerome had de-
INJURED al first to the grand jury sub
ppna requiring production of the books.
but under direction of Judge Swami, of
General Sessions, he gave them up.
Although Robin was arraigned and
pleaded to the indictments against him
in the morning Mr.. Jerome did not ap-
pear in court until late in the afternoon,
when Dr. Rabinowitch was called on to
plead TO the indictment against her.

DR.. Rabinowitch was escorted into
court by Detectives Flood and Boyle. Of
District Attorney Whtman's staff She

time they had seen woman permitted
a. wear a veil completely concealing her
features during arraignment in General
Sessions.

Swami. although the District Attorney
had first requested the sum of $4,000.

Rabinowitch. the aged Williamsburg
couple who asserted that they were the
parents of ROBIN and Or. Rabinowiteh,
