, his duties as a city official The jury
which has been trying the case re-
turned a verdict shortly before ma

deliberatiun.
Justice Goff remanded Hyde until
December 4, and the former city
chamberlain was led across the
Fridge of Sighs' to a cell in tho
Tombs. 1t was his first taste of pris-
on life, for he had been at liberty on
bail since his indictment and during
his trial.
When the case was given TO the jury
shortly after o'clock there were rev
who expected "A verdict In so short
time and when word came from the
, Jury that it wished to report Justice
Csoff was not at hand. 1t was nearly
forty minutes before he appeared.
HYDE was brought in and faced the
jury.
AS the word guilty" fell from the
fureman's lips, Hyde's eyes, which had
been fixed on the jurors faces, ala
not waver, and he gave no sign OF
emotion After his counsel, John Is.
Stanchfield, had asked for and OBJ
tanned the privilege of making such

gree" OF the former chamberlain was

In a clear voice. When ne came TO

Justice Goff in discharging tho
Jury. thanked its members for tn ir
attention to the case and their "con-
scientious discharge of duty
The case was given to the jury at
SOS o'clock tonight at the close OF
two hours charge by Supreme JUS
tice Goff. Half an hour later the jury
went to dinner, resuming their dellD-
erations as soon as their meal was
finished.
Hyde is accused, in the words OF
states counsel to the jury, "of using
the power Of the pressure of his Of
fetal position unlawfully to induce
Joseph c.. Robin, head Of the derunct
? Northern Bank, to cause the bank TO
loan the tottsring Carnegie Trust
company $4,000.
Counsel for state and defense spent
the final day of the trial in summing
up. Assistant District Attorney Moss
attacked the alienists called by the
defense who declared that Robin is
insane. The prosecutor declared he
would not be afraid to submit the
ex-banker to a test of mental control,
uuietness, command Of himself and
logical memory with some of the eX-
perts who have found Robin faulty
in those particulars. Mr.. Moss also
picked flaws in the alibi built around
the accused man. who testified that
he was at home at the hour Robin
declares he was bringing pressure to
force the loan.
Max Steur. counsel for Hyde. tried
to show that the facts brought out
during the trial made impossible the
conversation which Robin said took
place between him and Hyde.
Justice >Goff. in charging the jury
said:
The meat Of the charge is: Did
the defendant receive something by
which his course OF action was influ-
enced. II he did then he is guilty Of
the charge Of bribery. II there was
any consideration whatsoever, even If
It was of no intrinsic value. the prob
lem is the same"
