Trial Of Robert Miller
In Dr.. Lind Staying
To Start Tomorrow
67-Yeor-Old Attorney
Is Found Physically Fit
To Foce Court Sessions

One of the Capitals most sensa-
tional murder trials in recent years
is scheduled to begin in District
Court at 10 am. tomorrow when
Robert I. Miller, 67-year -old attor-
ney, accused of Staying DR.. John E..
Lind, opens his fight to escape the
electric chair.
Miller, who has been confined to
the District Jail infirmary since his
arraignment early in March, has
been pronounced physically fit, ac-
cording to one of his attorneys.
James K. Hughes. The defendant
was examined last week by two
psychiatrists and a general practi-
toner, sent by his attorneys.
Insanity Defense Held Possible.
Miller's possible course of defense
still was in the speculative stage.
His attorneys refused to reveal what
their position would be, but there
was some conjecture, bolstered by
the visits of the two psychiatrists,
that the white-haired lawyer would
plead insanity.
When he was arrested a few
minutes after DR.. Lind was fatally
shot while sitting in his car at
Eleventh and G streets NV, on
February 81, Miller was quoted as
saying he fired the shots in self
defense. Mrs. Marguerite Miller,
wife of the defendant, was in DR..
Lind's car at the time.
One of the most fascinating
phases of the case revolves around
the gun which police say they found
sheathed in a~white envelope lying
on the seat beside DR.. Lind's body.
A witness at the inquest testified
he saw Miller toss something white
into the car just before passersby
and a traflc policeman grabbed
Miller and took his gun away.
50 Witnesses Subpoenaed.
Assistant United States Attorneys
Daniel B. Maher and Charles Mur-
ray have issued subpoenas for SO
witnesses. The number of defense
witnesses has not been revealed, but
it was expected that Miller, who
has been well known around the
courts for many years, would call
many character witnesses.
The case will be heard by visiting
Justice Ben Moore of West Virginia.
The courtroom is one of the small
est in the District Court Building
Less than SO spectators can be ac-
commodated, and while the jury is
being selected, 1t is doubtful
whether more than a few persons
can be admitted. Dozens of Miller's
friends and associates in the courts
probably will be on hand to try for
seats.
Courtroom Used in Vice Trial.
The courtroom will be the same
as that used for the recent Hopkins
Institute vice trial. While that caseE
was in progress, several dozen per-
sons waited hopefully at the door
to be admitted one or two at time,
whenever spectators gave up their
seats.
Besides Mr. Hughes, Miller is rep
resented by Attorneys H. Mason
Welch and Joseph A McMenamin
