]. BARTON MILLER
GRANTED NEW TRIAL
Sentence for Embezzlement
Set Aside on Appeal.

The District Court OF Appeals yester-
day granted new trial to John Barton
Miller, formerly treasurer and secretary
Loan Association. of Georgetown, thereby
setting aside a sentence of twenty years
in the penitentiary. Miller was con-
victed last May on the charge Of en-
bezzling s136,Oo0 of the funds belonging
t. the association.
The ground upon which Miller obtains
his new trial is an error in Justice Stat
ford's charge to the jury, informing the
jurors that Miller might not be sent to
the penitentiary. The appellate court
Eclds that this statement influenced their
verdict of guilty, and entities Miller to
a new trial.
Justice Robb, in granting Miller a new
trial, said, in part: Can there be any
doubt that the jury had some reason to
infer. and therefore might have inferred,
that these words, coming from the court
to whom they looked for instruction and
guidance, meant that if they should con-
vict the defendant the court would, in
effect, reopen the case and hear testi-
mony, and that, as a result, the court
might conclude the ends of justice would
be subserved without sending the de-
fendant to the penitentiary at all?
Can there be any doubt that such an
understanding on the part of the jury
would affect their deliberations, to the
injury of the defendant? 1t is apparent
We think, that the words of the court
were misleading and highly prejudicial
to the defendant. ANYTHING which is
calculated to influence the jury that the
court will assume their responsibility IS
prejudiCial. Such language may we'll
have turned the scales against the de-
fendant.
Miller's new trial will be had at the
earliest possible opportunity.
