Sensational Scene at the
Willis Miller Trial.
ALMOST CAUSED RIOT
Prisoner and Guard Pass Hot
Words and Finally Como
to Blows-.Court
Adjourned.

Upper Sandusky, o.. July 16.-The
greatest sensation Of the Johnson mur-
der trials occurred yesterday afternoon
toward the close of the days session
of court. The court room was crowd
ed, and every seat was occupied, and the
space without the bar railing was pack
ed. Fully 80 per cent Of the audience
we're women. s
During the afternoon sister of the
defendant, Willis Miller, arrived. She
had not seen him for years, and the
meeting was a pathetic one, she sob
bing bitterly. She was sitting on one
side Of him, and brother was sitting
to the right of the sister, while behind
Miller sat Guard Grundtisch, who has
been keeping a close watch on Miller
during the trial.
The last witness was Guard Goetz, of
the county jail, whom Miller nearly kill
ed recently in a desperate attempt TO
escape. Grundtisch had Just preceded
Goetz as witness. When Goetz con-
cluded his testimony, Miller said in an
audible tone to one of his lawyers:
"Grundisch and Goetz are liars and
perjurers." The next moment Miller
and Grundtisch were clinched in COM
bat. Miller's sister began pounding
Grundtisch on the head with an UNI
brella, while Miller's brother got in
some well directed blows. Miller
fought like tiger, and 1t was five min
utes before he was subdued, requiring
at least dozen officers in the effort.
The excitement was intense. A panic
almost ensued, and women fell and were
tramped upon in an endeavor to escape
from the court room. Many of them
climbed over chairs and tables in their
excitement, and several tainted. All
the while Miller's sister was pounding
with her umbrella right and left, and
was finally forcibly elected from the
court room. Miller was finally over
powered by being thrown upon his back
on the trial table with a half dozen
men on top of him. A guard stood at
the end of the table hammering him
on the head with a mace. Judge Tobias
lOOh the IndCt away ITOH Tie SudTu,
but not before the guard began using
1t on Miller's sister. Judge Tobias i'm
mediately adjourned court, and Miller
was taken to the jail under heavy
guard. He looked like madman, and
further trouble is expected.
Immediately after court adjourned
Guard Grundtisch had Miller's sister
and brother arrested on the charge of
assault and battery. The former gave
her name as Hattie Miller. She plead
ed guilty, and was fined $3.50. The
brother pleaded not guilty, and demand
ed trial, which will occur Friday. Guard
Grundtisch claims that Immediately
after Miller made the remark to his
lawyer in regard to him being per-
jurer and liar, he turned to him and
said, "I'll fix you," and made grab for
his throat. Miller, however, claims that
Grundtisch made the first pass at him.
Miller's brother was placed in Jail in
lieu of bail. He in turn had Grundtisch
arrested for assault and battery.

DRUGGISTS may SELL
Liquor Without License Under
the Decision by Judge
Mower.

Springfield, o., July 17-Judge J. K.
Mower has rendered his decision in the
case of John II. Norris VS.. DR.. T. ].
Caspar, the suit having been taken to
the common pleas court on error from
the probate court. The suit was
brought by Norris to compel Probate
Judge Goodwin to place Caspar's name
on the tax duplicate under the provi-
sions of the Dow law for selling liquor
Caspar is a druggist, and it is alleged
Ivy Norris that Caspar, with the major
ity of the other druggists in the city
are guilty Of retailing liquor, Norris
claiming to have positive proof of this
fact.
Judge Goodwin ruled that the statute
under which the proceedings were
brought was unconstitutional. Judge
Mowers decision reverses the decision
of the probate judge and remands the
case back TO probate court for trial. The
defense took exceptions and the case
will probably be tried in the circuit
court.
This is the first test case made under
the law and the decision of Judge
Mower is important as it affects all
druggists in the state. The supreme
court has held in recent decisions, that
all persons selling liquors without pre-
scriptions must pay the Dow tax, but
IL has not passed upon the right of a
private citizen to bring action to com
pei the auditor to place the dealer on
the tax duplicate for Dow tax. Norris
has made his boasts that he will add
scme $4,000 to the tax duplicate oi
Springfield by compelling the druggists
to pay the Dow tax, and he is after the
druggists all over the state together
with the Pullman car service, which he
also claims evades the law.

Mr.. Pryan's advice to all Democrats
to support the Democratic ticket in
Ohio, to man, gives evidence that
he is the same consistent citizen he
has always been. He has always been
given credit for consistency, even by
his political enemies, and one of the
strongest points he made in his two
campaigns for the presidency was a
plea for regularity" Certainly there
was nothing irregular" about the
Ohio convention.

The campaign in Ohio, this fall, will
not necessarily be a partisan campaign.
The introduction Of the question OF
equitable and just taxation, in form
In which it cannot be lodged or evad-
ed, mitigates the partisan feature and
brings home to every taxpayer and
every honest citizen, a subject that he
cannot longer neglect, and the correct
solution of which will not a great
while longer be delayed. The PROPOSE
tion, in a nutshell, is that the great
operations and other great interests,
with immense earning capacities,
should be made to pay taxes on a valua-
tion proportionate to the valuation
placed on the home of the working man,
the clerk, the farmer and the small
business man. In other words, II the
working man is to pay taxes on val
uation that is from GO per cent. to 50
per cent. of the real value of his prop
erty, the position taken by the plat
form adopted at Columbus is that the
immense corporation with its great
earning capacity should not be let off
with valuation of from five to twenty
Fer cent. of It's real salable valuation.
The question has been trying to fight
Its way to the front for many years,
but through the generous distribution
of favors and by other methods best
known to those employing them, it has
not been able to get squarcly to the at.
tention of the people.
County auditors, in all parts OF the
state, have attended meetings to fix
valuations of railroad properties, and
have thoroughly incapacitated them
selves for a correct and unbiased per-
formance of duty by having their pock-
cts lined with railroad passes and have
been the guests of the very companies
whose properties they were about to as
cess. Their minds were biased by these
ettentions, and they have not, there.
fore, been able to see through any bl,
the spectacles furnished by the com.
pany. Occasionally man would bf
found who would endeavor to raise tn.
rate on the company, but he was always
cut-voted, till II has become patent to
all concerned that the meeting of the
auditors was purely of a perfunctory
character, and that the valuations were
really fixed by the railroads themselves
These auditors have gone back tc
their home counties and have been in
terviewed by the home paper and have
declared that they did just the right
thing. The home paper, with its sane.
tum plastered with railroad guides and
the desk filed with passes to resort:
here and there, readily believed thu
story, and the railroads were thus per.
mitted to escape their just share OF the
burdens of the people.
