Physician Says Victim Was Dead
Before She Reached

Disclosures attending the investiga-
ton of the manner in which Miss Nina
Miller, of Milan, met death, warrant
the suspicion that more than one
person may be implicated in the case.
An Aledo physician who examined
the body after it was taken from the
Mississippi, declares the young wo-
mans death was not produced by
drowning. but that life was extinct
before she reached the water. AS
stated in The ARGUS a few evenings
ago, the family of the dead girl have
persistently chung to the belief that
she was murdered. and have pushed
an investigation III the hope of eventu
ally bringing to justice whomsOever
may be guilty of causing her destruc-
ton.
All are familiar with the circum-
stances that led to the theory on the
part of the public that Miss Miller
had suicidcd. She had been betrayed.
friends supposed, and driven to
despair, found her only relief in death.
On the night of her disappearance
she was scantily clad. Her body was
found months after floating on cake
of ice near Fort Madison. Iowa. Those

she threw herself into the Hennepin
canal and when the ice moved out the

On the other hand, the family and
