MILLER KEEPING CLOSE
TRACK OF HIS TRIAL
Accused Secretary-Treasurer Keep
ing His Counsel Coached on
Points in Case.

Carefully watching every move made
by the government in its effort to prove
the charge against him of embezzling the
funds of the First Cooperative Building
Association of Georgetown. of which he
was secretary-treasurer, John Barton
Miller. before the bar in Criminal Court
NO. =, Justice Stafford presiding, today
took the keenest sort of interest in as
sist1ng his attorneys. Messrs. Davis and
| I'askey, In the cross-examination of wit
nesses
Although hundreds of transactions were
| mentioned in the course of the further
opening of the governments case Mil
| Ter seemed TO be thoroughly familiar
with all of the details. and as the wit
nesses passed in review the defendant
| was busiIy engaged in explaining to his
counsel the ramitications of the trans
actions, and frequently he offered per-
| tinent suggestions for cross-examination
Practically all of the efforts of United
| States Attorney Clarence Wilson and
| Assistant United States Attorney Proctor
| in this the third day of the trial were
devoted to an effort to prove series of
transactions with various real estate and
| title associations of the city, the result
| of which. the evidence was expected to
| show. was to place in Miller's hands many
hundreds of dollars which were never de-
posted to the credit Of the First Co.
| operative Association.
Regarded as Salient Point.
| One of the salient points in the govern
| ments case lies in it's effort to prove
that the defendant, Miller. received any
given sums of money intended for the
building association and converted them
to his own uses. At the afternoon ses-
sion Of the trial yesterday Justice Stat
ford admitted in evidence two checks
made by Charles II. Cragin, and payable
to the late Jesse II. Wilson, who was
attorney for the building association.
Mr.. Cragin testified previously that the
checks. which were in the amounts of
$9J6.60 and S629.75, respectively, had been
given to the association to be used as
building loans TO two of its stockhold-
ers. The defense claimed there was no
evidence to show that Miller had ever
received this money for the association
but the court overruled the objection and
permitted the documents to go before the
jury, as tending to show that the
money they represented actually came
to Miller's hands.

H|LTON|TES PLAN
TO GET OUT BIG
VOTE FOR SCHOOL
Impr0vers Demand Better Troll
ley Service and Postal
Facilities.

The possibility of procuring an avail
able site for a new school in the Hill
tonia section. the need of better trolley
car service on the Maplewood line and
better postal facilities were discussed
at the regular semi-monthly meeting
of the Hilton Improvement Association
in Feibleman's office, in Springfield
avenue, Hilton. last night.
School Commissioner G. Clifford
Jones, who represents the Hilton Sec
ton on the South Orange Township
Board of Education, explained the
obstacles which stood in the way of
the board In its efforts to secure the
most desirable site for school purposes.
The township form of government, he
maintained, while 1t may be the most
economical, Is very cumbersome, par
ticularly in school matters.
He told of the unsuccessful efforts
that had been made to procure ground
for school purposes. The owners had
refused to dispose of any Of their lands,
and, as condemnation proceedings
would hardly accomplish any beneficial
results, the members of the board had
secured n option on some available
ground on Tuscan hill. This location,
he said, is off Springfield avenue away
from the noise of the cars, dust and
danger. If this site should meet the
approval of the Hilton people a special
election would be necessary to sane
ton an appropriation. The members
of the association in the
recommendation of the speaker, and at
their request Mr.. Jones accepted mem
bership in the association.
The long interval between cars
operating on the Maplewood line and
the frequent annoyances caused by the
switching back of Maplewood cars at
the Forty-third street loop. In Irving
ton. was taken up. The matter was
referred to the committee on street car
service to be taken up with the PUBLIC
Service.
George A. Fettig called attention to
the alleged obsolete method of con-
Quoting the postal service in the COM
munity. One delivery vas advocated.
The reappointed finance and legisla-
tive committee is composed of John
NJ. Knuth, chairman; Jacob Deffur,
