on the evening of August 80. 1910, they

Roy Baldwin, at Monmouth Beach,
New Jersey. The first girl said that
her call came between 6 and { o'clock
and the second that hers came between

The demeanor of Hyde's counsel
showed how serious they considered
this evidence Hyde had himself, in his
own defence. testified that he had left

gone home to Roslyn to dine with his
mother Mrs. Hyde swore he arrived
home at Z o'clock 10 remain the rest of
the evening. and George Gaynor Hyde,
the fourteen-year- son Of the for

Then came Warren l.. Neu, law

he had seen Hyde leave the office about
6 o'clock on that night and had closed
the office after him, and Charles B.

had seen him get into his automobile

squsrely Contradict Robin.
Hyde and Neu and Campbell had told
Assistant District Attorney Moss, on
cross examination, that they could re-
member no telephone call or calls to
the home of President Baldwin OF the
Empire Trust Company. Neu said
Cummins, Reichmann and Robin,
Hydes callers at the time, left the
office about the same time Hyde did,
and that to the best of his recollection
he left no one in the Offices when he
closed them. Neither Hyde nor Camp
bell could remember. however, whether
the three guests remained there until
after their host had, departed.
But Joseph G. Robin. the states main
witness against Hyde, In his story OF
the two-hour conversation with the
City Chamberlain, beginning between .
and 8 o'clock on that night, has testi-
fed that after Hyde had coerced him
into agreeing to lend the Carnegie
Trust Company $4,000 Cummins
tried TO get Leroy Baldwin on the tele-
phone from Hyde's Office.
After the second telephone operator
had f1uttered from the witness STAND
Max D. Steuer, the defendants lawyer
called Hyde himself to the chair again.
He asked him three questions with the
object Of indicating to the jury mat
the former City Chamberlain knew
when he had first presented his alioi TO
the iurv on the stand that the tele-
phone company kept record OF all
messages. Justice Golf would not al
low Hyde TO answer.
Steuer then asked permission 10 re-
call 70 the stand one of the telephone
girls 70 have her explain how the tele-
rhone number Of the person calling
was recorded on the company's slips.
Rut when the girl had sat down in the
witness chair he suddenly thought bet
ter of il and excused her. The fact as
certained from an official OF the tele-
phone company. is that the telephone
number of the person calling is flashed
automatically TO the local operator,
who, in the case Of suburban call,
like that to Monmouth Beach, passes
Il over to the toll operator She In
turn writes down both the number call
ing and the number called.

lily identify the slip he handed her as a
record of a call from John 3lOl 10 Mon
mouth Beach 20 in the nineteenth hour
of August 80, 1910. The court record
already held the fact that John 3lOl
was the telephone number of Hydes

And what time is the nineteenth
hour?" asked Mr.. Clark.
She tilted her chin a moment In
thought, replying In her scared little
voice:

did you make out the slip yourselfT
asked Mr.. Steuer.
Yes, SIR"
1T was some time between and
o'clock. you say: but you can't tell by

toward the jury. But his satisfaction

Robin Explains "DeIusions."

The entire day, practically, was de-
voted to the prosecutions rebuttal. The
morning and early half of the afternoon
were consumed In an attempt to rehabill-
tate the credibilty Of Robin as wit
ness.
Robin spent the morning in the witness
chair explaining why he had acted In
| manner 10 lead eminent alienists TO pro-
nounce him a paranoiac. DIR. Ira ..
Tracey, of the Long Island College Hos
pital for the Insane, followed him TO say
| that after an examination of Robin lasting
seven hours on Tuesday he considered the
states witness sane.
Then came Assistant Postmaster Murphy,
trustee Of the Washington Savings
Bank, one OF Robins companies, VINO ac-
companied ROBIN 10 the Carnegie Trust
Company on the night he says he had the
conversation with Hyde concerning the
$3.50. 900 loan. Frank L. Grant, president
OF the Northern Bank when 1t collapsed
testified that Robin at a meeting OF the
executive committee on August % SAID
Hyde had asked him 10 lend the Carnegie
Trust Company $4,000.
The last two witnesses, though Justice
Coff admitted their testimony on the
ground that II bore on the credibility OF
Robin. attacked directly the abb OF the
defence. Mr.. Murphy said Robin left him
at the Carnegie Trust Company's offices
about 7:45 O'Clock on the night In ques-
ton and returned for him an hour and a
half 70 two hours later.
Robin told me-" said the witness. that
he had been to the Wall street office OF
Mr.. Hyde and they had pulled off big
deal"
Why Robin Used Drugs.
Robin said Just before the failure Of
his banks, in December. 1910, he esti-
mated his wealth at 100000 net. The
banker described the serious state Of his
health at that period, being compelled to
use drugs. he explained, TO alleviate the
pain he suffered.
Mr.. Moss tried to show that the sup
posed attempt at suicide in the detectives
room at the Criminal Courts Building
was In reality the accidental taking OF
an overdose of a drug.
"wer. you taking drugs AT the time
that you were being examined by allen
lists and ID interviews with lawyers and
others" asked Moss.
II was ! remember that during an in
terview with Mr. Morris my secretary !
grabbed him by the throat. He told me
40 afterward I was a nervous and phys
zeal wreck, but conscious OF the great in
Justice that had been done me. That
condition was due 10 the pain / was en-
during. and the mental decisions resulted
from the drugs and pain"
