Il. But he is regular in his attendance
at court, sits through every hearing and
gives his associates the benefit OF his
profound legal knowledge and his init
mate acquaintance with authorities Few
men have ever sat upon the bench in
Maryland possessed Of more robust
and virile intellect than Oliver Miller.
His opinions in the Maryland Reports
are distinguished for their vigorous Ian
guage, logic and directness, going right
TO the heart Of the case. He was born
in MiddietOwn, Conn, April Is, 1924

sister, Mrs. Converse. whose husband
was principal Of the Academy in that
