HAMILTON NMD MILLER EXECUTOR Rasmussen Estimates Estate at SIOO,OOO, Appraisal of the estate of Charles W. Miller, former State attorney general, who committed suicide Feb. 16 in the English Hotel, will not be completed for some time, William T. Rasmussen, county inheritance tax appraiser, said today. Lucius O. Hamilton, friend of the family, was appointed administrator late Friday. Hamilton’s bond was fixed at SIOO,OOO, which Rasmussen recommended as sufficient to cover the estate. Hamilton was appointed administrator after Miller's lock box in the Farmers Trust Company vault was opened Friday in the expectancy of finding a will. The box ’ contained securities worth approximately $50,000, but no will, Rasmussen said. Estimate of Miller’s estate may total approximately $100,000,” Rasmussen said. “I read in the account of his death that he delivered securities valued at $40,000 to Mrs. Miller, which have been placed in another strong box. 1 understand. The house and lot probably are worth $10,000."
