ing the moving of his family TO his
field of labor as the church felt that
his work would be more effective
and prosperous, both financially and
spiritually.
He, (Rev Miller) was called in
question time after time about his
moving and at each interval he
wouldn't give any satisfaction and
said we had nothing to do with his
moving. After his promise to the
church made them believe that he
would do what he said Therefore.
at the business meeting in July 1907
a motion prevailed TO give him three
months TO move or the pulpit will
be declared vacant. I mean his
family, while the above motion was
on its passage it was interrupted by
Rev. Miller saying that he would ten

and bruised her badly and tried TO
drag her in private room.
Mrs. Dayton made an outcry and
two colored men heard her scream

a bad character, yet the white peo-
pie are trying to shield his crime.
He is now in jail. Two years a
go he served year for murder OF
q white man in Lancaster County.
To the surprise of all concerned
