Charles Hyatt Robinson, the wealthy young stock broker who is being de+ {tained in the Lomz Island Home, at | | Amityville, Le 1, pending the findings ef the commission which {# to pass on his sanity next Friday, was brought be- fore Justice Marean, In the Supremo Court, Brooklyn, to-day, on a writ of habeas corpus procured by Walter Byrne, Robinson's private secretary. Byrne went to Amityville yesterday and endeavored to see Robinson, but arrived just in time to seo him leaving the Inatitution in company with his | wife. They were going for a drive and Robinson told Byrne that st would be impossible for him to talk to him then, Byrne, made another effort later in the evening to see Robinson, but de- {clared that he waa denial admission |to the home. Then {t was that he con | celved the plan of applying for the jwrit, as he was convinced that Robin- fon was being detained at the home against hie will, Byrne was represented {n court to-day Dy Samuel Markewitch, 8, P. Hildreth appeared for Robinson, and Mrs, Robin- son was represented by Leroy Ball Jr. Alleges Conspiracy. Mr. Markewltch opened the proceed- Ings by declaring that young Robinson had been sent to the Home and there ¢. | confined against his will, at the stance of relatives and the trustees of [the Robinson estate, who sought to | wrest the property from Robinson's con- trol. He added that Robinsoa's deten- | tion was the result of conspiracy and collusion, and that is why his client, | Byrne, had brought these proceedings in order to apprise Robinson of how his business affairs were being conducted. Mr. Hildreth here interrupted Marke- | witch by telling the court that Rob! son Was present to testify that he ts not being tilega'ly defined and that he (Robinson) well knows that the ques: tion of his sanity in to be passed on next Friday and that he Is very well content to remain where he is until that time. This Robinson corroborated. ean then asked if Robin- placed in the home by | means of a writ and when told that this was not the case he said Well, then, he can leave at any time he sees fit, and these proceedings are unnecessary Hildreth told the Court that Robinson was very well aware of that fact, but that he had no desire to leave the home. . * Spent $200,000 In Year, At this stage In the procedings Mr. IN SANTARUM TEAONG HET MFRS HUSBAND THE STOX AMET BEST GLI Union Pacific, Brooklyn Rapid | Transit, Smelting and Steel | Also in Favor. | | eae sara So Mrs. Knowles Went Back Reading was the centre of mterest in} the eariy’ stock market to-day.
