A WIZARD OF FINANCE.
HIS METEORIC CAREER. The affairs of the Northern Bank of New York and its nine! city branches, with deposits of over £1,500,000,’ are engaging universal attention, says the correspondent of the London “Telegraph,” because the financial methods of Mr Joseph Robin, the dominant factor in the situation, eclipse in their audacity the somewhat similar methods pursued by Mr Morse, the former Ice King, and other exponents of “frenzied finance.” Mr Robin was rushed off to a sanatorium as a paranoiac just before the explosion, which has reduced thousands of poor depositors to the verge of despair. The depositors themselves maintain that Mr Robin simulated lunacy to escape action by the Public Prosecutor, and the doctor who , received the defaulting banker into a, sanatorium admits that he was imposed upon when admitting Mr Robin under, a recent Court commitment, and he declares that Mr Robin is no longer with him as a gatient, and is presumably either at ome or fleeing to Canada.
