EX-DETECTIYE MILLER.
His Case Called In tho Criminal Court,
But Postponed-Other Legal Business
Transacted Yesterday.
DETECTIVE MILLER's cAsE.

| ernment was ready to proceed in the cases
against ex-Detective Miller, but some wit
nesses could not be found in Baltimore, and
he would ask a postponement, as Col. Inger-
soil, Mr.. Miller's attorney, would like IL. Col.
lngersoll asked If it would be proper to in
| quire what the prosecution wanted to prove
by the absent witnesses. The court said it
would be proper. Mr.. Tsggert said that tho
witnesses, Smith, Lyon, and West, would prove
that Mr.. Miller did not get the pitcher in
the Flndall case from them, as his report
| showed. The court wished to know If the
other side was willing TO admit tho fact
Col. Ingersol said that their information
was to the contrary. They expected to
show that Mr.. Miller did receive the pitcher
from them but, for the sake of argument,
admitting that he did not, Col. Ingersoll
wished to know If that was o material point
in the case. His client was not charged with
receiving the property from these parties, hut
receiving 1t knowing the same TO have been
| stolen. Judge Wylie said as the report of the
| officer in connection with the case showed
that the property was received from these
parties, and it was disputed, 1t would be best
to have the witnesses on the stand. Tho case
was postponed. 9,
