DR.. Miller
TELLS STORY

ltLLS 5lURI|
Staying within ten miles of the
place where her husband was living
with a woman who posed as his wife,
Mrs. H. B. Miller said Saturday after
noon that she had no idea until two
weeks ago that her husband was
false to her. Mrs. Miller for the
last six weeks has ben living with
Mr.. and Mrs. C. G. Thompson of Ben
ton City where DR.. Miller was run
ming a branch office of the s2nitar-
ium which he was represented as con
Quoting in the Avalon apartments in
Mexico. Mrs. Miller spent the sum-
mer in the East with relatives and
when she came to Missouri in the
fall DR.. Miller said that he thought
it would be best for her to live in
Benton City as she was afflicted
with rheumatism and he felt it would
be better for her not to be around
the sick people in the sanitarium.
Mrs. Haga or Mrs. Miller as she
was known in Mexico came here with
DR.. Miller in April and with them
was a younger woman, who was said
to be DR.. Miller's adopted daughter.
The young woman however soon left
and it is believed that Mrs. Haga
uuarreled with her and made her
leave.
Mrs. Miller No. / tells a most path
etc story which has its beginning
eighteen years ago back in a little
town in Pennsylvania when she was
a girl of sixteen and Miller was a
clerk in the local drugstore. She
left the town for boarding school but
continued her frienship with Miller
by correspondence and when she was
eighteen years old became his wife.
Miller later became a doctor. When
asked if her married life had been a
happy one Mrs. Miller admitted that
it hadn't. That often her faith was
tried to the breaking point, but for
the sake of her daughter, now four
teen years old, she had always shield
ed DR.. Miller, but this was the end
and she only hoped that he and Mrs
Haga would be brought back to Mex
leo to justice.
