MILLER WILL SUE FOR L.eeL.


ntoA3 - a Nltttons
CAMDEN, N. j., Sept l9-Judge Wescott
counsel for Lingo, has served an order fol
the taking OF the evidence of Detective
Campbell and others for presentation ts
the supreme court in support Of the mo
tion for new trial. The hearing will
take place next Tuesday before Master il
Chancery George A. Vroom.
When John Miller heard of the publica
tion OF the Campbell affidavit he called or
Prosecutor Jenkins and told him that thu
detectives story was false. He told a re
porter that he would bring suit for libe
against ex-Judge Wescott, prosecutor.
Campbell declares that his affidavit /,
absolutely correct and that he will sup
port it when he comes under examination
Judge Wescott claims to have secureC
other important testimony which can but
SO impress the supreme court judges as te
grant a new trial for the negro. One part
of this is the location Of a black Astra.
khan coat which Mrs. Miller was seen &c
wear the morning she went away. MARY
Collins swore at the hearing that Mrs. Mil
Ter wore no coat or wrap and none wa
found on or about the body when Ii was
discovered in the bushes. Now, however
Judge Wescott declares that he has evi
dence that Mrs. Miller did wear a coat, q
black Astrakhan, which her sister, Mary
Collins, gave her, and shat coat, he says
has been seen since the murder.
The question is, how did it reach th,
Miller housef And the judge thinks il
points, like many other small but strong
things, to the fact that Mrs Miller wa
not murdered in the bushes where she was
found. That settled, I.ingo's innocencs
would be established beyond question.
