New YORK, Aug. 2.-There is much ex-
citement in the village of Milton, on the
Hudson. over the arrest of DR.. Julius Miller,
of that place, charged with committing the
outrage on Miss Heuser, at Dr. Hasbrouck' s
house, on the night of July 4th. In Court
Miss Heuser and her sister only gave testi-
mony, but nothing new was developed.
Miss Heuser said Miller was one of the men
who assaulted her. At the conclusion of
this witness evidence, to the surprise of all,
the prosecution rested. Then the prisoner s
counsel moved for the prisoners discharge
Oh the ground that no evidence had been
produced showing, as was charged in the
warrant, that an attempt had been made to
outrage Miss Heuser.
An argument followed, in which the fact
was developed that the prosecution had no
more witnesses and Court discharged the
prisoner. So the noted outrage still re-
mains a mystery, which will probably
never be cleared up. DR.. Miller has the
sympathy of the people generally. He had
four or five reputable witnesses in waiting
to prove a complete alibi; but he was moi
put on his defense. 1t is not doubted here
that on the night of the 4th of July he was
at home, sick with malarial fever.
