MARYsvILLE, July 3.-The sentence of
death was passed on Marshall J. Miller
this morning for the murder of Julius
Pier.
The case is one that has attracted deep
interest ever since the commission OF the
crime. Pier was an aged Hebrew cloth
ing dealer, and Miller, in company with
a young electrician named Stewart a.
Green, planned to rob the old fellow, who
was supposed to have considerable money
concealed about the premises. On the
night of May lst last they secreted them
selves in a room back of Piers store, and
as the old man passed through to go to
bed he was struck down, bound, gagged
and beaten into insensibility. The rob-
bers then ransacked the store, and as they
were preparing to leave Green discovered
that Pier had regained consciousness and
was watching them. Fearing detection
he rammed the gag down the old mans
throat, and left him to die OF sultocatlon.
In the committal of the deed Green
took leading part, but in the trial at
tempted to shield himself, claiming that
he was acting under the influence of
Miller, who was much the older man.
Miller also made full confession Of the
bloody work, and in turn tried TO throw
the blame back on Green. When brought
into court Miller pleaded guilty, while
Green stood trial and escaped with SEN
tence OF life imprisonment
So strong was the feeling in the COM
munity when the verdict of the jury was
announced that the court held a secret
session, sentence was passed ana Green
was driven at night in covered hack to
Wheatland with his attorneys and the
Sheriff, where the early morning train
was taken for San Quentin. This pro-
ceeding, coupled with the belief that
Green was much the worse man OF the
two, served to add to the general lndig-
nation, and several hundred citizens ap-
piled their signatures to petition 10 the
Judge requesting him to deal as lenIently
with Miller as he had with Green.
Miller's attorney argued that money,
friends and influence had all been be-
hind Greon to save him from the gallows,
while Miller, alone, trlendless and with
out means, could but throw himself upon
the mercy of the court, and ask that his
life be spared as that of his associate.
The Judge. however, refused to con-
slider the case of Green and the sentence
of death was passed on Miller. Miller
took the matter cooliy, to all appear
ances, but seems to be breaking down
rapidly under the terrible strain, and IL
is said that he is anxiously awaiting an
opportunity to commit suicide.
There have been in the neigh hborhood
of fifteen homicides committed In 4uba
County in the past seven years. and
this is the only instance in which the
death penalty has been imposed.
