ROBIN PUT IN CELL
IN MURDERERS' ROW
Banker Pleads Not Guilty to
Indictment and Is Held
in $25,O 600 Bail.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-Joseph G..
Robin, the young bank juggler, whose
operations wrecked two banks, was ar
raigned before Justice Grain today and
pleaded not guilty to an Indictment
charging him with the theft of $4,000
from the Washington Savings Bank.
His bail was fixed at $4,000, and In
default of this he was locked up in the
Tombs, being placed in cell in MUIR
derer's row.
Robin had no further chance TO END
his life 1t was plebeian patrol wagon
that carried the young bank juggler
from the hospital. Unusual precautions
were taken against a possible second at
tempt on the part of the banker to take
poison. Four policemen stayed con-
stantly by his side in the wagon.
Robins face showed deadly palior
when he stumbled out of the hospftafs
prison ward. His clothing hung loose
around him, and he seemed to have
aged ten years during the few days
that he has been in the institution.
When he saw that he would have 10
ride In a patrol wagon like an ord1-
nary prisoner he hesitated for an In
slant and an expression of repugnance
spread over his features. He was as
sisted along, however. and with tne
help Of two policemen climbed heaVhy
into the vehicle.

The Body Is a
FAT Factory

When a man or a woman grows
fat and huge, habby layers of this
worthless flesh makes them miser-
able, IL is a certain sign that some
where within the organism of that
man or woman there is something
radically wrong. The healthy man or
woman digests all that is good in
food and throws of in a natural man
ner ali that is bad. This is what the
digestive juices are made for. When
these juices are weakened or too
things out of the nourishment we
eat, and hence they turn into tn 4
blood that which makes fat. 1t "a
very simple to correct these juicsS
in a fat person. This secret has beer
demonstrated in the famous Marmola
Tablets which n W have such a tre-
mendous sale. Tney reduce fat at the
rate of from IL to Is ounces a day.
They correct the faulty juices an6
give to the body the very nutrition
II needs. They remove fat in a natu-
raj manner, but they do il 50 quickly
as to be almost beyond belief. You
do not have to diet or exercise and
you may Ieat what you will. These
little tablets are the result of a de-
mand on the part of the public for
form OF the famous Marmola pre-
scription that will permit a fat per
at all times, so that each meal will
add no more fat to his body. Marmola
Tablets are sold by every druggist, or
you may write the Mafmola Com
pany, 81 Farmer Bldg, Detroit, Mich.,
and a case will be sent you privately
by mail. The price Of Marmola Tab
lets is rs cts. everywhere.

ties today are that Charles Twigg and
Grace Elcsser carried with-them to the
unyielding depths of the grave the se-
cret of how and why they died. Per-
chance some day the truth will out and
wonderment will cease, but such hopes
are fast diminishing. The more likely
end will be that 1t will remain a mys-
terry STORY.
The admission of District Attorney
David Robb has rather taken the en-
thusiasm out of those who have watched
the short career of this strange case.
The States attorney hasn't abandoned
hope by any means; the authorities still
are working on the theory of foul muir
der, bu. he revealed the tangled nature
of the skein of circumstances, he is at
tempting to unwind, when he called
about him more than dozen out-ot-
town correspondents and said:
Gentlemen, at this time / have no d.
rect evidence against any person. can
point an accusing finger at no one. l
can consistently arrest no one.
Nothing But Theories.
I'VE of the law who have been work
ing on this case believe that there has
been a crime committed. We have
theories logical and illogical, just as you
have, but they are only theories.
The coroner's inquest may be held
before the end of the week, but 1 know
of nothing that such an inquest vii.
develop at this juncture except fur-
ther examination of the members OF the
family, with whom have already
talked.
"Our best efforts up to this time have
developed but the following facts:
THE couple died Of cyanide poison
ing. Physicians say that the poison
was administered in liquid rather than
IN CRYSTAL form. Death must have been
instantaneous There was no opportun-
ity for the man and the woman to move
from their seats upon the sofa after
4. was given. They could not nave
thrown away the remaining poison.
"If the poison was liquid there must
have been bottle. Yet none was
found. l assisted in the search OF the
Elosser home. The search was thor
ough; clothing was gone through out
of the way places were peered INTO
trunks and closets were ransacked; the
Yards and surrounding ground were
thoroughly gone over.
Not Tenable.
"The theory that the chewing gum
found in the mouth and pocket OF
Twigg was poisonous is not tenable.
There were no traces of poison. The
candy on a nearby table was free from
poison: there was, besides, no candy
In the stCmachs of Miss Elosser and
Twigg.
There is absence of a motive for
double suicide So far as we yet know
there is equally lacking motive. or at
least one that will justify direct ac-
cusation, for murder.
IF you gentlemen of the press can
unravel this mystery l would be glad
to have your assistance
Thus the Elosser-Twigg tragedy re-

solves itself once more into a matter
of theorizing. and at this everybody is
taking a hand. The suppositions ad-
vanced have ranged all the way from
an accidental cyanide kiss" to a de-
liberate and intended double murder.
Another vagary that had momentary
vogue in the street corner debates was
the assumption that the wedding ring
bride had been washed in a solution of
cyanide of potassium. such as is some
times used by jewelers., and that 1t
somehow had come in contact with the
lips of Miss Elosser and Twigg.
Idea Dissipated.
Chemists dissipate this idea, however.
by declaring that evaporation would
remove all traces of cyanide from the
ring, even If 1t had been subjected to
a cyanide bath before Twigg pur-
chased it.
Another favorite theme with the in
ventor of the hypothetical questions
has been the deadly cyanide kiss" the
reasoning being as follows:
Suppose Twigg were poisoned acct-
dentally through cyanide on the ring or
in the chewing gum. He may have
shown evidence of illness. His prospec-
tive bride may have kissed him. and
herself fallen victim to the poison
on his lips"
practical man, considering the fact that
the poison kills as soon as 1t reaches the
stomach, but this is the day Of the
theorist in Cumberland. and there is no
story so improbable that II does not
find auditors whose ears tingle all the
more with the increasing fantasy of the
tale.
There Is one supposition, however, not
beyond the range of plausibility. That
is the possibility of the poison having
been administered by some one other
than either Miss Elosser or Twigg, and
with murderous intent. the poisoner slip
ping In or out of the room In which the
couple were without being observed by
other members Of the family.
Two Doorways.
The parlor in which the couple were
seated, talking of their approaching
| marriage, has two doorways. One opens
upon the street, the other leads to the
dining room and bedrooms 10 the rear
of the house 1t is generally admitted.
and in this District Attorney Robb
agrees. that 1t would have been possible
for an outsider to enter the room, and
to offer Twigg and Miss Elosser poison
ed food or water, which they may have
taken at the same moment.
A person capable of such crafty
scheme then might have made his or
her exit, removing the polson-laden
vessel, secure IN the belief that there
would be ample time for the removal
Of all discriminating evidence prior to
the finding of the dead bodies of the
victims. Physicians have informed the
States attorney that the man and
woman probably had been dead for
ten or fifteen minutes before they were
discovered.
Neither family accepts today the the
ory of suicide. Relatives seem to pre-
fer to attribute the tragedy to an in
The Washington times., 1911-01-04

-expHcable accident of some sort, II
murder remains impossible of proof.
Leaving the field of conjecture, In
vestigation by the States attorney
discloses that Charles Twigg made his
will In May, 1908. He left his property
TO his mother, sisters, and two broth
ers, leaving out of the will all bequests
to his father and one brother. There Is
no Significance, however, attached to
this phase of the case, which became
known only through a search of the
dead mans effects by Attorney Robb.
Letters were also found, 1t is said,
written to Twigg by Miss Lula Dye, Of
Monticello, Ind, with whom the young
Keyser merchant .corresponded up to
about six months ago. Nothing was
found in these letters that would throw
any light whatever upon the cause of
the tragedy nor was there revealed
anything that might have a bearing
upon Twiggs possible suicide.
Throngs of curious ones filed the
churches at South Cumberland and Key
ser, respectively, from which tho
funeral Of the dead man and girl were
held yesterday afternoon.
Sensation Expected.
Many attended the services for the
girl in Cumberland In the belief that
the Rev. Dr. Van Arsdale might make
some direct reference to the mysterious
death of one who was buried in what
was to have been her bridal gown.
The minister's only remarks along this
inIs line were:
ITO those who knew Grace Elosser
II is unnecessary that I should speak of
her high character, her bright and redi-
ant nature. and, as the world views it,
her promise Of a happy life. Every
death Is a mystery, leaving behind 1t
aching hearts. but this is especially So
There are hundreds here who will ever
remember this dear departed girl, and
TO these / can only commend the mere
after when We shall know the meaning
of It ALL
All the members of the girls immedi-
ate family attended the funeral Geld in
Grave Methodist Church, at which Miss
Elosser had worshipcd. Contrary to
the fears of their friends, both May
Elosser and her mother, who have been
hysterical since last Saturday afternoon,
were sufficiently composed to attend the
funeral, and their grief, apparently, was
the most poignant Of any who attended
the simple services.
Attracted by the publicity given the
strange affair, hundreds stood outside
the church, in a driZzling rain, because
they were unable to gain admittance.

AFFAIRS Of HOUSE
TAKEN BEFORE TAFT
Reapportionment Discussed
by Crumpacker and
Campbell.

Reapportionment of the next House of
Representatives under the new census
was the subject of conference at the
White House today, when Representa-
tive Crumpacker of Indiana, chairman
of the House Committee on the Census,
talked the matter over with the Presi-
dent.
At the same time Representative
Campbell of Kansas came to the White
House with am entirely new idea. He
wanted the membership of the House
arbitrarily fixed at 225, the number not
to vary under any circumstances, even
though the population of the country
doubles.
Mr.. Campbell said he was waiting to
see a draft of the Crumpacker bill be-
fore deciding whether he would intro
.duce a bill putting an absolute limit
upon the Representatives which the
{ States shall forever have.
States Separate Duties.
The Kansan would take all the busi-
ness with the coordinate branches Of
the Government out of the hands of the
Congress and place the duty of looking
after such matters in the hands of State
agents, one for each State.
This would make statesmen out Of
our congressman, Instead of politicians,
said Mr.. Campbell. ut would leave
them free to study statecraft; it would
make them what the Constitution in
tended they should be-
When told about the plan of his col
league, Judge Crumpacker was not IA
Vorably impressed. He said 1t would
not work. He said that the House of
Representatives must be a big body
else it would not perform its function
as provided for in the Constitution
that of rejecting the sentiment of the
people.
Need of Representation.
Members Of the House must have
small constituencies, must be in close
touch with them and must know what
they want in order to represent them
as the Constitution intended they
should" said Judge Crumpacker.
IF we should reduce the House to
225 members and leave 1t at that num-
ber the body would become as onery as
tn eSenate," added the Judge smiling.
There are a number of ideas before
the House Committee but the most
plausible seems to be that increasing
the number of House members to 435.
This would prevent any State losing a
member and would not burden the
House with membership.
"Our committee will meet on Friday
and will probably have two sittings be
fore a bill is reported. When the bill
finally comes out It will have the right
of way, being one of constitutional
privilege. I look for action within the
next few weeks"
