MILLER THURSDAY
Colored Ansonia Man Who Kill
 ed His Wife Will be Put on Trial Then.
NO CRIMI NAL COURT TO-DAY
Miller, Quinn and Caldwell Cases About the Only Ones Now
 Remaining.

It was stated late yesterday after portant cases for the present term of the superior criminal court to consid- CT. These are the cases against Mill Ter, Caldwell and Quinn. That against the first Charles Miller, the Ansonia colored man who shot his wife and who will be charged with murder In the second degree, will be commenced in the court on Thursday morning There will be no session of the crim- inal court to-day. The cases against Railroad Detective Quinn and Clifford M. Caldwell will follow next week
 A special panel of about forty names will be served to-day by the sherffs and each side ,n the Miller trial will be allowed ten peremptory challenges. Attorney OConnell of Derby, has been assigned to plead Mill { lers cause by Judge Case.
 It is thought that the court should be finished by the end of next week or the early part of the week fol- lowing.
 The story about Cadwells intention z to plead guilty to the charge of as- sault with the intent to kill, two counts, seems to have had very little X 8fcundation. At least nothing has ma aterialized in that regard and the pris- oner has not expressed any willingness to throw himself upon the mercy of { the judge.
