Attorneys Erwin and Underwood are working on the written showing to be made in support of a motion for a new trial for Herman Miller. They have thirty days in which to file their reasons. If the motion is denied Miller will be taken to Michigan City to begin his sentence. In speaking of .he case yesterday former Congressman Robinson, who assisted Prosecuting Attorney Thomas, said: “In addition to LaDuke’s statement, which was confirmed throughout by more than a hundred witnesses, the case was convincing and clear, even without the

confession. If any one had a- doubt as to the absolutely impregnable nature of the state’s evidence, it was due to the complicated circumstances many of which coupled with other circumstances, and the witnesses to these being used on days widely the connection could not be made' by those who had not closely followed the whole case. In my experience in a dozen murder cases, I never knew one so convincingly proven. This was shown by the early and unanimous conclusion arrived at by a jury composed of our best, citizens. The orderly and logical manner of the introduction of the evidence by Prosecutor Thomas carried argument along with it, and it was not difficult for the jury to s°e clearly the defendant's guilt. The defense was all that it could be, but it could not prevail against the strength of the state’s case. Sheriff Grice and his deputies and the prosecutors did their duty well and can look to the jury's verdict for their satisfaction.” —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.

Few people are aware that according to an order recently issued by the postoffice department they are permitted to perforate the stamp they use with a reasonable small instrument for identification purposes. The perforation must not be too large as it would then be termed a mutilation and the letter to which it was attached would be held for postage. The perforation should not be larger than that made by the point of a needle. The idea is intended to prevent the theft or mutilation of mail of a private- nature.
