Miller is regarded as having got off very easy on an indeterminate sentence of from 1 to 21 years, and prosecutor Amsden will exert himself, it is said, to defeat any attempt to secure his release.

The sentiment regarding the sentence here about Fairmount is decidedly against executive clemency. In an interview with Jesse Stibbs. father of Wm. Stibbs, the murdered man, The News is given to understand that the petition for a pardon will be fought to the last ditch, and he is sustained by the county prosecutor. Miller and hi9 friends ought to congratulate themselves that the resu't of the trial was no worse for him.

The general comment was that he got off easy. Four Wells Blowing Off.
