New York, Feb. 10.--William +. Mil
Ter, of Franklin Syndicate notoriety,
who was arrested by Capt. Reynolds
on Thursday, viii be put on trial on
April in Brooklyn before Judge Hurd.
Meanwhile pressure will be brought TO
bear on Miner to compel him to dis
close the hiding place of at least $780,
600, which st is believed is within the
reach either OF Miller, ED" Schless-
niger. William korn or man named

De the moving spirits I'm the 500 per
cent enterprise at No. 144 Floyd street,
brooklyn, prior TO Nov. % last. Miller
has come back 10 New York appar-
emily destitute OF funds, but that does
not signify that he hasn't hidden some
of the receipts OF his concern. He has
retained Robert a. Ammon, Frederick
B. House and eX-District Attorney
James w. Ridgeway TO defend him.
The alleged plan OF Miller's counsel
is 10 place the onus OF the syndicate's
transactions on Schiessinger, who has
not been seen since the crash occurred
in November 1t is not known for GER
tain that Schlessinger is the mans
right name even, but that is the name
ne went under at the Floyd street es-
Establishment. He and korn are said TO
be bookmakers, and il Is believed by
many that Schlessinger and Korn and
Miller know where at least half mil
lion of cash is secreted.
MILLER HoMEsICK.
Miller got homesick IL was learned
and sent "a messenger TO his wife some
time ago. telling her If he did not hear
from some of his former friends at
once. he intended 10 come home and
'face the music"
It Is said by Miller's sympathizers
that his youth is in his favor. He is
doubtless about 26 years old, although
he says he is only %. His friends say
that Miller wants to tell all he knows
and in return for assisting the state
secure his own freedom. Robert A.
Ammon said that ii was not unreason-
able to assume that Schlessinger would
soon return 10 this country and sur
render much in the same manner as
did Miller. IL Schlessinger should re-
turn voluntarily 5t is believed that the
blame will be shifted from him 10 the
man who went under the name of
Korn.
Mr.. Ammon. who is the attorney of
record. Mr.. Ridgeway and Mr.. House
were in consultation twice yesterday
and the prediction is freely made that
District Attorney Clarke and his as
sistant. Robert III. Elder, will soon
have an opportunity to demonstrate
how expert they are as criminal law
yers.
MONTREAL POLICE SURPRISED.
The matter OF Mixers arrest is the
next matter to be cleared up. The po-
lice of Montreal are surprised that the
story should be credited that Reynolds
coolly walked about their city for a
day or two and caught a man with
lattened nose. whom they had been
watching for weeks.
Chief Devery Friday received a re-
port from Capt Reynolds concerning
the arrest Of Miller, made out by the
captain on Thursday night. 1t is said
10 have given Chief Davery a head
ache and IL Is likely that Capt. Rey-
nolds VII be summoned to headquart-
ers today TO clear up a number of
mysterious features OF the arrest Capt
Reynoldss report, which is a remark
able specimen OF police rhetoric, fol-
lows:
