Murderer of J. B. Sayler Gets a Promotion at Joliet.

Dr. W. R. Miller, murderer of the late John Byron Sayler, has been given a promotion at the Joliet penitentiary and is now stationed in the library of that institution doing the work formerly done by Paul O. Stensland, the Chicago wrecker. When Dr, Miller first went to the penitentiary he was put to work making brooms and his promotion came much earlier than is usually the case with the ordinary convict. The librarian’s place is probably the most desirable one in any of the work given to convicts at Joliet, except that of office boy to the warden’s office. Mrs. Sayler also has a good position as cook for the officers in charge of the woman’s department at the penitentiary. She was given this place soon after she was taken to Joliet. She attended chapel at the penitentiary for the first time Sunday. The bill of exceptions for the appeal for Mrs, Sayler wap filed Tuesday. It is the plan of her attorneys to present her case to one of the justices of the supreme court at ftn early date and «sk that she be admitted to bail pending the de&ision of the court in her case. There’s nothing so good for a sore throat as Dr. Thomas’ Electric Oil. Oures it in a few hours. Relieves any pain in any part.
