Shortly before o'clock one OF the

Miller with the gas jet in his mouth. The
jet in Miller's cell is exceptionally low

intent.
When found he was unconscious. and 1t
was feared that he was beyond all hope

would-be suicide fully an hour revived
him. 1t was discovered that Miller had
previously attempted suicide by hang
