Dr. Robinson was comparatively Wukpown in the district, having moved from Kingston. only six months before Miss Yorke's body was found. He had-been on friendsy terms 'with the residents and his ac- 4h: previous to the disappearance of the girl had never been of a na- ture to give rise to gossip or scan- "fdal, The girl, ou the other hand, 'was well known, and respected. Miss Yorke was 32 years of age. The arrest of Dr. Robimson fol- d a pre-arranged plan. No bet- day could have been fixed on for the doctor to give himself up.

City Hall, Toronto, just as the Labor parade was passing with the blare of bands and flare of banvers, at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Three Brothers With Him. Pale and governing himself with visible effort, the young, Kkindly- eyed doctor, stood beside the motor car in which his three brothers had brought him to the rendezvous, as Detective Greer, and T. C. Robinetts, K.C., thrust their way through the swarms watching the parade, stepp- ed up and without any more com- motion than could be noticed over an invitation to go for a motor ride, Dr. Robinson was put under arrest, cautioned and then driven tithe par-. Hament buildings, where Chig! In- spector Joseph Rogers, of the pro- vincial police, remanded him till Wednesday. He was then driven tg the jail, to await Mr. Robinette's ap- plication to a high court judge for bail, He will be Temanfed from the jail to the assizes at apee, on Sept. 220d, and Mr. inette stat. ed to The Star that the trial will go over to the spring assizes. 4 Chased From Town To Town, Dr. Robimson refused 10 stale where he has been.

He was re- manded to the jail till Wednesday, and to-morrow I shall make an ap- plication for bail before a high court judge. We shall offer bail as high as $8,000, but it is hard to say whether any bail will be accepted." Although Mr. Robinette had been Ni communication with Dr. Robinson! or two weeks or mote, the provin- clal police were apparently at sea as to the whereabouts of the much wanted doctor. Mr. Robinette ad- mitted the man had been 'down east", but beyond that refused to; say anything about his whereabouts, The two brothefs of Dr. Robinson, | Hall steps were practically deserted md the local police had no know- ge of what was coming off. f 4"I, have been in communication with Dr. Robinson for the p#st two } | weeks," sald Mr. Robinette, "and his friends had advised him to give Bimself up and face his trial, His mother is ald and his wife has béen Dissappeared July 8, It will be remembered that the charge against Dr. Robinson was caused by the disappearance of Miss Yorke from her home in a vi lage of Tamworth, on July 3 the subsequent finding of her body in cellar of Dr. Robinson's Honse.

Bond houses have done practically noth- ing since the Arst of the month, and 80 are unable to tell what the effect has been so for other than that it is impossible to sell anything now.
