SAYS HE RECEIVED NO MONEY

Miller Denies That He Was Paid for
Copies of Rulings Information.
Miller said he would explain what
ever he could, and then he was inter-
rOgated in regard to his old friend,
Joseph NJ. Johns, and his connection
with him from the beginning of the
case to the end. When RObb and
Cochran showed him the reports, alsO
copies of letters and kilograms, indi-
eating that he had sent the ruling of
the department to Johns on Dec. 10,
and wired him that the same had been
sent, Miller admitted that he had writ
ten a letter to Johns, and that 1t was
in his own handwriting. and not die
tated as other letters in the official cor
respondence Of the department
Then Watson proceeded to read from
his stenographic notes a question by
General Robb as to whether Ryan had
turned over $500 to Johns on the
same day that the latter got the rul-
ing from Miller. Miller denied any
knowledge of that transaction, and in
sisted that he had never received di-
rectly or indirectly a cent for any
copy of a ruling or any information
regarding the same. He declared to
Robb and Cochran that he did not be-
lieve Johns had ever made any such
representations as were attributed to
him in the reports of the postoffice in
spectors.
The last witness of the day was
Charles II. Robb, the successor of Gen
eral Tyner as assistant attorney gen
eral for the postoffice department. He
testified to second interview at which
the same parties were present except
that his secretary, Tullis, took the
place of Watson as stenographer, in
an unconcealed position. In this sec
Ond interview RObb and Cochran CON
fronted Miller with statements that
he had made in his previous inter
view. and asked him to reconcile them
with the letters and kilograms and
the reports of the postoffice.
Robb was closely cross-examined by
Rulison and denied that he had taken
possession of Miller's mail before eth
er of these interviews, but he did not
deny that the pOstoffice inspectors
might have done so. Robb did ask
Miller 20 let him see his mail hereaft-
er and asked Miller to open his let
tiers in his presence. To all these re-
quests Miller assented.
