Immediately after sentence had
been passed, Miller was placed In
the custody of Sheriff J. Mason
Smith. He probably will be taken
to the penitentiary in Richmond
late today.
Wife Asks Leniency
Before sentence was passed,
Mrs. Mozelle Miller, in a letter to
Judge Smith asked leniency on
the ground that her husband was
q good and kind man, but one I'M
able to say no and one who was q
target for women"
Walker read the letter aloud in
the packed court room. DR.. Miller
was thanked by his wife and 3d.
year-old daughter, Elizabeth, coed
at the University of Virginia.
Mrs. Miller stressed the gene
rosity of her husband-how he
had done dental work free for
those unable to pay, how he had
done work on the prisoners in the
county jail for the past seven
years without pay.
She described her husband as
"a man not able to think with q
great deal of intelligence" but q
kindly and good husband and
father.
Confession Read to Court
Mr.. Fife read DR.. Miller's confes'
sion to the court, in which the
dentist wrote:
"T was t0rmented by Cleo
SprOuse to help her out of trOu-
BILE caused by her friends"
The girl was to have become a
mother within five months, the
autopsy showed, and DR.. Miller in
sists he was not responsible for
her condition.
DR.. Miller said, however, that
the girl had threatened to name
him as the father unless he agreed
to perform an Illegal operation

The unparalleled speed Of this first
mail coach trip created a state of high
tension and an urge to rival the reck-
less time rate, leading to the famed
drive of Holiday who took a coach
from Salt Lake TO Atchison in eight
days, as compared to ButterfteldS
20, although wrecking horses, coaches
and equipment.
Many men still living have figured
prominently in the development OF the
stage coach industry. DR.. Allen, now
residing in Billings, joined an outfit
to blaze a stage coach trail through
Yellowstone county. The present site OF
Columbus may be said to be the in
direct result of that outfit sent out
more than so years ago. Robert Leavens,
well known throughout the state, was
once under contract to drive stage
outfit from Billings to Lewistown,
through Lavina and Ubet. John Rey-
noldS, now residing on a ranch near
Helena, still remembered as @Old Grip"
was Montana's most famous stage coach
driver, serving under Warfield in 1876.

Beidler who turned the scales against
the outlaw. Beidler, perched on the

throughout the trial with shotgun
across his lap, doomed out: Sanders
ask him how much time he gave the

preached discovered the driver was
x. Beidler The reason he was stand

securely tied, stretched on the wagon
bed and he was standing over them. I
have heard unkind things said about
x. Beidler, but If he had not been a
man Of the highest character my faith
er would never have paid his memory
the splendid encomium that he de-
hvered at Beidlers funeral in Helena
in $780,"
Beidler was frequent visitor to
Butte in the early days, as an officer
and as private citizen. He was noted
for his good humor and his dauntless
courage. He was for time guide and
a guard in Yellowstone park, where
he piloted the John D. Rockefeller
party. One Of the tenderfeet in the
party wanted to know from Beidler If
he might have an elk" to take back to
