Struggle Against Adversely.

The burning of their home and store in
1868 proved a setback to the brothers.
who were in business together. but they
managed to live in shanties until they
could build q new home and business
place. Three or four years ago Robert
married a young lady from st. Mary
county, and they lived in the house with
John and his wife until about three weeks
ago. when they took quarters only about
100 yards apart.
Last Saturday John was seen with a
considerable amount of money, part or
all of the 5000 in currency he had in
the house. Some was his own and the
rest belonged to his brother. That night
the store was closed about the usual
time, many persons having made pur-
chases. One of these, it is reported, was
a stranger.
There were three doors to the store,
and It is stated by those who reached the
burning building shortly after the colored
man LyIes gave the alarm two of them
were open. 1t is certain they were not
left open by the storekeeper.
IF it is certain that those doors were
open," said Francis Thompson, a mer-
chant of Accokeek, who accompanied the
ashes of the victims when they were
brought here yesterday, murder was
committed"
And" he added. there is no reason
to believe they were not open.'

Dead Man in Double Tragedy
at Accokeek.

Residents of the lower part OF Prince
George county. Md. are displaying mucn
interest in the investigation Of the fatal fire
at Accokeek Sunday morning. Many be-
lieve that John Thomas Miller and his
wife were murdered and robbed before
the house was set on fire.
Other residents of the county recall the
murder of Farmer Lyles. committed many
years ago. near the scene OF last Sun
days tragedy. In that case robbery was
the motive. and the attack was made at
late hour of the night. Mrs. Lyles mar
rOwly escaping death at the hands Of the
murderers. In that case. as in the case
of Mr.. and Mrs. Miller. money had been
displayed only few hours before the
murder was committed.
LyIes, who was a prosperous farmer,
returned home from the city with several
sheets of the so-called "shinplasters.' 10
and p cent notes, and displayed them to
a number of colored men.
Joke Cost Him Life.
~ have a barrel filled with money" he
jokinsly remarked, covering the top Of
barrel with the notes.
That night five negroes entered his
house and killed him in the presence Of
his wife. Mrs. Lyles escaped by rum
ming from the house and hiding behind
tree, afterward running through the
woods about a mile to the house Of
friends. Her hair turned white that
night. Four of the negroes were soon
caught and executed, but the fifth one
remained at liberty several years.
The name of the fifth man was MIN
rod Richard He was arrested in Bos-
ton as a result of conversation in which

men, They were discussing the question
of murder and one of them made the re-
mark: Murder will out
Not always" said Richard, Il commit
ted murder and it's not out yet"
Sheriff John A. Frazier brought him
back to Prince George county from Bos-
ton and after trial he was executed
Recalling that old murder, the residents
of the vicinity are clamoring for action in
the case of the Milers. That they were
murdered the people Of the lower end Of
the county have no doubt. and action on
the part of the authorities is what is de-
manded Sheriff Sweeney and Deputy
Sheriff Suit promise they will leave no
stone unturned to discover the guilty par
ties.
People in lower Maryland, residents Of
ST. Mary Charles and Prince George
counties, respected the Miller. brothers,
John Thomas and Robert w. Miller. and
their wives. The men were reputed to be
wealthy, and they were regarded as good
neighbors and friends. They had been in
business in ST. Mary county after leaving
Alexandra and before coming to AccO-
keek, about nine years ago.
