of masked men attacked the twO-story
brick house az l42S Washington Boule-

A frame barn in the rear was likewise

was sent TO police headquarters, and no

friends, that the police knew of the IN

they stood by and watched the proceed

1t appears that Just prior to the death
of John Miller, the husband of Mary
f. Nj ler, in 1887, his brother, Thomas
Miller, induced him TO make will IN
which nearly all Of his little property
was left TO the brother, the wife being
merely allowed a small legacy under
her maiden name and as his house
keeper. The probate court subse-
quentlv modified the terms of the will
so as TO accord Mrs Miller her rights as

as executor. Since that time Mrs.
Miller has been harrassed by all sorts
OF legal proceedings, chiefly uy way OF
