Miller operated a tavern with
his father for many years until
his father died in 1910 and then
took over the tavern himself and
operated it until three years ago.
Records of the United States Dis
Itrict Court for Eastern Wiscon-
sin show that Thomas Miller was
convicted on January "a. 1881,
Iof unlawfully maintaining a pub
lie nuisance under the national
prohibition act. He was fined
$500 and sentenced to six months
in the house of correction but on
June Is. 1881, the fine was re-
Iduced to 500 and was paid.
Miller was released from the
house Of correction June "a, 1881.
The gambling offenses for
which Miller was convicted were
|misdemeanor under Wisconsin
law. Federal court records do not
show whether the prohibition
law violation was classified as q
felony or misdemeanor, and Of
Iflcials said they did not have
such information.
Senator Declines Comment
Miller refused today to COM
Iment on the convictions, and
Senator Mccarthy also declined
comment.
Republican Chairman Zupek,
however, said that if the party
had been asked to make a rec
Iommendation on the appoint
Iment Tom Miller would have
been given equal consideration
with all other candidates"
Miller has been active in vet
'erans affairs and social work
and was farm census director
for Eastern Wisconsin In 1854
and 1855. He is scheduled to
take his oath Thursday, succeed
