caused extensive damage in ihe
central corridor, scattered supplies
and poured water on the floors.

took them to the county jail,
Meanwhile, two girls who walked

Woman Convicted
Of Advising Men
To Avoid Draft
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. 11 Mrs.
Lucille S. Miller, 45, stood convict
ed today on 18 counts of advising
young men to evade military serv
ice. Federal Judge Ernest W. Gib
son said he will sentence her Aug.
8. However, Mrs. Miller's lawyers
have announced they will appeal.
Mrs. Miller, the only defense
witness, took the stand following
five unsuccessful attempts by her
counsel for a dismissal of the in
dictments. One of the arguments
for dismissal was an assertion that
the draft law is a violation of the
13th Amendment against involun
tary servitude.
A high point in Mrs. Miller's
testimony came when she replied
to a question asked her hy U.S.
Ally. Louis G. Whitcomb. He asked
her if she "deliberately intended"
to violate the law when she wrote
to the nine young men, advising
them to evade the draft. Her an
swer was. "I certainly did."
Mrs. Miller and her husband
Manuel, 47, a justice of ihe peace
at Bethel, gained national attention
when they withstood efforts cf a
U.S. marshal and police lo serve
Mrs. Miller with, a court order
committing her to a mental hos
pital. A tear gas attack finally forced
the husband to lay down hi. rille
after a 12-hour siege. Mrs. Miller
was sent to St. Elizabeth's Hospital
in Washing D.C., but later was
declared sane.
Her husband is scheduled to go
on trial next Monday on charges
of resisting a U.S. marshal.
