The general public does not seem
inclined to share the opinion of the

DEATH NOT LAW
GAVE DIV0RCt
MRS. GEORGE n. MILLER HAD
MADE APPLICATION TO couRTs
FOR LEGAL SEPARATION FROM
HER HUSBAND WHO DIED THIS
WEEK IN THE PEN.

Death and not the law divorced Geo.
H. Miller and wife.
Miller, who was known all over the
city as ''Rathouse" Miller, was sent to
the penitentIary about a year ago by
District Judge Pollock, for violation
of the, statutes and died a few days
ago in the penitentiary @s reported in
The Forum yesterday.
According to The Bismarck Tribune
of yesterday Mrs. Miller, about q
week ago made application in the
courts for a divorce against Miller,
but Of course no action could be
taken in that time She alleged
not only that he had been convicted
Of a felony, but that he had abused
her and she stated to neighbors that
she was afraid of him.
Miller was badly crippled with rheu-
matism, and in addition to that suf-
fered from injuries that he received
by being pinned under a threshing
machine in the early days. So far as
can be learned there is only his young
wife to claim his considerable prop
erty, the most of which is located on
Front street in the lower part of the
city.

Rosenberg, wife of Lefty Louie" one
of the four gunmen, was a witness for
the state today in the Becker trial, OF
the RosenthaI murder. Beckers at

Of a conversation Sam Schepps and
Rose had with her husband at her
home regarding bail for Jack Zelig,
the gang leader recently killed, who
was being held on a charge OF carry
ing concealed weapons.
On cross examination she added she
wasn't testifying in the hope of help
ing her husband.
Two telephone operators told of a
call Becker had in early morning hours
of the day Of the murder.
