CHASE co DRIVER
 FREED OF CHARGE
George M. Robinson Back From New Jersey After
 Truck Fatality

George M. Robinson, 32, of 20 Vermont street, driver of a truck involved in a fatal accident in Eliz- abeth, N. J., yesterday, returned to this city today, freed after being held on technical charge of man. slaughter.
 Robinson was driving a Chase company truck which yesterday collided with a vehicle driven by Franklin Millman. head of the Newark bureau of the Associated Press. Millman died soon after the crash.
 According to the story given New Jersey authorities by the local man. he was travelling along the highway in a line of traffic when a signal light went red. A car ahead stopped so suddenly that he had to swerve to the left to avoid a collision. Jus. as he did so, he said, Millman's car came from the opposite direc- tion and he was unable to avoid it. Skid marks on the road showed that Millman made an attempt to turn out of the way but was unable to do so.
 New Jersey officials are still in- vestigating the crash.
