""' . Miller, who had conducted his own de fense, concluded his argument yester day afternoon with ne jof the most bit ter arraignment of the prosecuting at torney and chief of , detectives - ever heard In a courtroom. For nearly two flours the prisoner attorney excoriated the police, whom he accused of having inflicted horrible torture upon him dur tg the progress of the "third degree to force from him a confession. He painted " a picture of police brutality that would stand out red against anything George Herman ever wrote of Siberia! he drew on history, science, art, the ends of the earth for his illustrations, and drove home his facts with wonderful force and Intensity. A man of wide reading, ; an observer, a student of human nature, he was a.contlnual surprise. ,v f .. ,xt Scores Hla Chief Tormentor. . Of Captain V of petectlves Tennant, Miller salds ... "I have seen the face before, gentle- men. In Paris, in the- gallery of the .Juvre. -there is the face of Dioaysius of Syracuse, the tyrant whose cruelty makes an ; nisiory ,-nuuuor, nu face, gentlemen, is the face of Captain Tennant The anatomy of that physl ogonomy Is to. me an open book. In Captain Tennanfs face I read an ata vistic retrogression from the twentieth to the fifteenth century." , f Further on Miller said: "The prosecution has done me the - honor to adm.it that X have brains. I have brains. My forefathers fought at 'Lexington, and for. generations my fore fathers have been clean thinking, Intel lectual people. In myself, the last of an honorable family, I am proud to ad mit accumulated intelligence and hered itary attainments. If I have brains, why in the name of God should I risk tny liberty by Stealing a quantity of pal try Junk from an unoccupied residence?' The Jury returned a verdict of guilty of second degree burglary. Miller an nounced his Intention to ?'! motion for a new trial. ..; Killer's Story of Third Degree. During his -trial Miller, who acted as Is own attorney, took o; w"eE tand. As attorney he asked, himself Questions, and as witness he answered himself. In this novel dialogue Miller brought out the following testimony; Miller stated that he was S6 years old, a physician by profession-and- a lecturer on social and economic topics by occupation, and that he had been ar rested bv Detective Ed Griffith, with out charge, while" ne was taking tha .! ; at the corner of East" 1'rospect- ana Aloha streets with Willis Taylor, with whom he roomed. At the police sta tion he was taken to Captain Ten nanfs 6ffice and asked for an explana tion: Tennant. he said, told him he was a "dead fly guy," and said: - - . "Put him In the black hole and 'let him rot there." - . Continuing hla evidence.
