He told a straight and plausible story, but made the mistake of denying much that had been proved beyond con troversy. The mucb-talked-of per feet alibi proved in reality to have so many holes in it that it w.as evi dently entirely disregarded by the jury. Frank Vaughn, who was brought in from the pen by the prosecution did not make a good impression, and though hi» u - mony was important his manner spoiled its effect. Ferrari also made a bad impression by balking and denying everything when first placed on ibe stand, so that when he came in the next day to tell the truth, as he asserted, his testimony lost much of its force. Some are hoping that, now that Miller is convicted, he will do some more “ talking” and that some clue may be obtained from him as to the others engaged in the robbery. The story is that it was only by the merest chance he did not open up before the grand jury and tell the whole story, and 11 was proved ai the trial that he made a remark to that effect to Mr. Devanlt, one ol the grand jurors, after the occasion had passed. In fact, it seems al most certain that oue who has talk ed so freely, incriminating himself, is very likely to talk again, now that he sees that he is the only one, so far, to suffer for the crime. So the long-deferred sensation may yet be sprung. H ad a Kick H. V. Holverstott, of Fairview, was a visitor at this office last week and was somewhat stirred over an item that appeared iu the Coos Bay Times of the i6lh, saying that “ H. Holverstott of Fairview came in to day on business,” and gave out a story touching the mental condition of J. J. Burns, whose residence the Times places at Myrtle Point. Mr. Holverstott says that he has not been in Marshfield for six months and his father, H. W . Holverstott has not been there for a much long er time,and he objects to being given as authority for a story that the Times evidently picked up on the street and certainly did nol get from him. Mr. Burns, whose home is at Fairview, had a nervous break down but is all right again and is employed on road work by Mr. Holverstott, who is road supervisor. Mr. II. was assured that the Times meaDt no harm to him, as it is a regular practice of that chaste family journal to pick up whatever rumors are current on the street an^ add from its fertile imagination any little touches like names or particu- lats that would seem to make it a “ good item,” this method being resorted to when it can not get the straight story Irom the Record of the day before.
