Miller was convicted in New York in 1927 after a sensational trial in which he was charged jointly with former At- torney General Daugherty with having conspired in the administration of his office to defraud the Government in the handling of German-owned property. He was sentenced to serve 18 months in the Atlanta Penitentiary and fined $5000. The jury disagreed as to Daugherty.
