Associated Press Dispatch.

New York, Nov. 21.-Davis G..
Robin testified at the trial Of former
City Chamberlain Charles Fl. Hyde,
today, that Hyde, by his control of
city deposits, forced the northern
bank to loan the Carnegie Trust Co.
$4,000, when the latter institu-
tion was about to collapse late in
1910. Robin, himself guilty of
grand larceny in connection with
the wracking of the northern bank,
and who has been in the Tombs for
several months awaiting sentence, is
the states principal witness against
Hyde, charged with accepting a
brlbe as public officer.
Although Hyde's counsel moved
for quashing the indictment on the
ground that no crime was charged,
because it was not shown that the
city chamberlain benefited by his
alleged action, Justice Golf reserved
decision until the states case was
closed.
District Attorney Whitman an
swered this point by asserting he
would place s13.50O of the Carnegie
