HARDINsBURG, Ky, July l0-Conty
Judge A. NJ. Puliam who murdered James
Miller Friday morning, was to have had his
preliminary trial yesterday morning, but his
attorneys waived an examination and Pull
liam was committed for ual Oct 10 with
out bail, As the facts regarding the killing
leak out, one by one, public feeling against
the murderer becomes more intense, aud to-
day there are quiet threats of lynching,
notwithstanding the high official character
of the assassin The ease reveals depth of de-
pravity simply appalling. 1t is said Judge
hilliam sought TO traffic in his wife's honor
and not succeeding, killed the man To whom
he had made the proposition. james Miller,
probably the wealthiest man in Breckenridge
| county, was passing Judge Puliam's office,
on Court House square, Friday morn
ing about 9 O'clock when the judge
| called him in. About two min
utes later three pistol shots We're heard i'll
the office, and when the door was opened
Miller was found deal, and Judge Pulliam
had pistol in his hand The Judge simply
said he had killed Miller, but would make
no explanation, paper was picked up on
| the office desk, which was carefully hidden,
| however, until Yesterday, when il was made
| public II reads rs follows
