though there is a good chance for
life. Q
Good Samaritan hospital officials t Ij
reported Mrs. Johnston slightly lmJ
proved and able to talk, although she j
was weak, and because one bullet had Fj
penetrated the left lung close to the'fj
lteart, sne was not auowea iu move

fear hemorrhage would result.

Solomon Miller, lawyer, druggist

damage suits recently filed in the

by District Judge Deich yesterday.
The attack took place January 1 at
the home of a sister-in-law.
Coincident with the assault trial

Indictment charging him with threat
ening to commit a felony and his re
lease on bail of $1000. Mrs. Violet
Miller, his divorced wife, was the
chief witness against Miller before
the grand Jury, asserting that on
December 19, 1921, Miller told her he
would kill her.
At the time of the assault on Sigel,
Miller accused his father-in-law of
endeavoring to take away Miller's
child, whom he was visiting. Sigel,

down by the younger man. It was
testified.
Judge Deich Imposed the $9.99 fine
on the theory that Miller would "re
member It longer than a $10 fine."
