Miller, proprietor of an art shop here, who jumped to death from a window in a hospital on July 4, as charges against her were sent before the grand jury, it was reported today. Investigators have been enjoined to secrecy awaiting further develop- nents, It is known, however, that fieen banks have been victimized. While estimates of the money ob- tained by Mrs. Miller have risen to $100,000, Herbert R. O'Connor, state’s attorney, said he gathered no data in the case since he took it be- fore the grand jury on the day the woman died. Abraham Rosenthal, attorney for Irvin Kaplan, one of the receivers, estimates that Mrs. Miller cabled more than $300,000 to foreign cities in the three years she was in busi- ness in Baltimore. The recaivers hope to obtain fur- ther light on Mrs. Miller's business transactions tirough questioning M Flora E. Reed, the dead wom- sister. Mrs. Reed, however, has denied in an answer filed in the cir- cuit court that she was connected in any way with Mrs. Miller's busi- ness enterprises and that she knew thing about her later financial airs. 15 AUTOS CRASH AT CORNER Shortly after noon yesterday, a) touring car driven by * Sherwood Raymond of 97 Harrison street pro- ceeding west on Hart street, collid- {ed with a sedan owned by Charles Lewicki of 11 Rhodes strect driven by Kark Burzindahl of 75 | Winthrop street as the latter car as going north on Griswold street.
