A District Attornev,s Work

Charles w. Miller, whose term as
United States Attorney for this district
has Just expired, made for himself dur
ing the four years he was in office an
excellent record. Mr.. Miller was APP

der his management some very import
ant cases, the most notable Of which
was the dynamite conspiracy. In this
east Mr.. Miller particularly distinguished
himself. In other cases that have, from
time to time, come to his attention, he
has applied the same energy and fore
thought which characterized his prose

association Of bridge and iron workers.
The dynamite trial alone would have
been sufficient to command the attcu-

engaged. 1t is all the more to the credit
of Mr.. Miller. therefore, that he prepared
the case and that he presented it to the
court clearly, plainly and logically lie

he was in communal. The retiring dis
trict attorney, during the strenuous and
sometimes bitter days OF the dynamite
trial in Judge Andcrson's court, did not
lay himself open to criticism for unfair
ness. He presented the governments ar
gument forcefully, but without animosity
or rancor.
Some idea as to the amount of work
necessary to handle the case may be
had in the knowledge that statement
OF 1900 typewriter pages will go to the
court of appeals from the defense. All
these data have been gone over by Mr..
Miller This part of the trial. volumin-
