NO DATE YET FIXED
Mayor Smith returned to his oOIcb today
from Atlantic City to arrange with Director
Wilson for tho trial of Police Superintendent
Hoblnson.
The July Grand Jury recommended that
tho Pollco Superintendent answer charges
of dereliction of duty, and ho can answer
only to his superiors, Director Wilson and
the Mayor,
From ?.fnyor Smith's rpvakiI nnr...i...
on the subject, City Hall men have tho
Idea that tho necessity of brlnglne Superin
tendent Iloblnson to trial, or at least coInK
through tho formality of trylnir him, Is a
distasteful Job. They are convinced, how
ever, that he means to perform tho duty
becauso they think ho Is confident tho
public will Insist on It.
The Mayor wilt summon before him and
Director Wilson witnesses who testified be
foro tho vice probers.
Just when the trial will be held, even tho
Mayor has not decided and It rests with
him. The City Hall cosslps are Inclined
to think ho will put.lt oft as long- as pos-
ciuic.
From tho Mayor's attitude, expressed In
several Interviews, ho plans to try Robinson
to determine tho Injustlco or Justlco of the
charges mado agnlnst him. From that
friends of tho latter have formed the idea
that the trial is to bo held as a favor to
tho pollco chief.
Mayor Smith has again reiterated his
Intention of freeing tho police from the in
fluence of ward politicians. Ho says it has
retarded the efficiency of the force and It
must be stopped.
"Policemen must be loyal to their duty "
he said, "or else they must go, for I nm
determined from now on to have proper
action and a rigid enforcement of the
law."
Superintendent Itoblnson maintains that
ho has not 'read tho Mayor's Interviews
about bringing him to trial soon, nnd there
fore can't make any comment. "Not until
I hear from tho Mayor myself," ho said.
