Shot Saturday by Tony Duke, an
italian TrustY, at Elkton, Md.
J. Myron Miller, aged SO years,
sheriff of Cecil county, was shot
and killed att two O. clock Saturday
afternoon in Elkton, Md, by Tony
Duke, an Italian, at times demented,
who had been given shelter in the
county prison for three years. The
deed was committed in a ward in
front of the Jail in full view of
several persons. Mrs. Nellie Miller.
wife of the sheriff, saw the awful
affair from an upper window of the
sheriff's residence connected with
the prison. The murderer was taken
to the city prison in Baltimore late
that afternoon, to prevent what
would surely have been a Iynching.
Feeling was very high. What
makes the tragedy all the more
deplorable is the fact that two
weeks ago State Attorney Albert
Constable personally informed the
sheriff that Duke had a pistol and
warned the official to take it from
him. The sheriff was removed to
the Union Hospital, Elkton, where
he died. He was shot in the stom-
ach Just below the heart and lived
but fifteen minutes.
