i 1 Ttw Sydney Morning hVald, Tuts, Maj 11, 1980 1 Miller: I John Houston, a bodies. dispose of Truro jury hears ADELAIDE James William Miller. 1 of the dock speech was with Worrell before the girls were murdered, but I certainly did not think they were going to be killed, and 1 certainly did not take part or help in their killing seven Truro murders, said in the Supreme i Court yesterday that he 'if took' no part in killing any of the girls and was "just the chauffeur and the He took 50 minutes to policem as soon as the first death occurred," Miller said. "I realise I should not have disposed of the bodies after they were killed. "By not telling the police about Worrell I am probably guilty of some offence, out 1 am not guilty of murder because I did not want any of these girls to die.

"On each occassion I was horrified and frightened when girl was killed." Miller denied the Crown's principal charge that he and Worrell acted jointly to pick up girls and murder them. "I did not plan with Worrell or discuss with him in any way about picking up girls for the purpose of killing them," he said. His unsworn statement from the dock was the basis of his case. No witnesses are being called for the defence. Counsel will begin their final addresses to the jury today and the trial, which began four weeks ago, is expected to finish tomorrow or on Thursday.

i. read to the jury an mm ite pastime was picking up girls. He, Miller, would drive them to deserted spots where Worrell would have sex with them. Many girls other than the Truro victims had been picked up but nothing had happened to them. All the victims had picked up in Adelaide, but none had been killed at Truro, although the bodies of five had been dumped there.

Miller said that after the first two murders he told Worrell he should see a doctor, but Worrell rejected the idea. In his statement, Miller said he had lied to police because they had ignored his requests for a solicitor at the interview. "I realise I have behaved very weakly and badly in not physically stopping Worrell and not reporting the matter to the at an, Miller said. He said he was a homosexual, was not interested in women and had never had sexual relations with them. He had occasionally had sexual relations with Worrell and before meeting Worrell, he had never had a friend in his life.

"We became as close as brothers he said. Miller said Worrell used to get into strange and frightening moods, and on several occasions when he had tried to question him about the killings, Worrell had threatened to kill him, and on one occasion had produced a knife. Miller said Worrell's favour exhibition By ROGER COLLIER John Houston, art critic and exhibition organiser, refers to himself as "a living craft exhibition." "I'm held together by bite of strisg at steel rods," be says, extlaiiiBf that the "craft" be represents belongs to the surgeon who put him together after he tried to make hit car climb a tree. But Mr Houston, former curator of the gold, silver and jewellery collections of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths la London, was not really interested In putting himself on display. He was more concerned with the exhibition of contemporary British ceramics he has arranged for the British Council.

The exhibition. Image and Idea, is being held at the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, Sydney, until March 23 and will then tour the rest of Australia and New Zealand. It includes works by Paul Astbury. Gordon Baldwin, Ruth and Alan Barnett-Danes, Anthony Bennett. Alison Britten, Oeirdre Burnett, Jill Crowley, Elizabeth Fritsch.

Gillian Lowndes and Jacqueline Ponce-let. "Would you believe that this exhibition has led to me being described as obsessed with women." Mr Houston said. "That's because so many women's work are featured In it. "The simple truth is that there are more women involved in creative pottery than men. They tend to go in for functional pottery which sells and makes money." Ulionviii oiaiLiiivuv Hvhich detailed the seven killings.

also gave details of his telationship with Christopher "Robin Worrell, who is now dead and who he alleged had killed all the victims. Miller, 40. is charged with i committing the murders between December 23, 1976, and February 12, 1977.
