He wanted her to put the house under his name and she at first consented, but finding that Miller was drinking h y. changed her mind. Helping Tonooka Suye in the saloon was a maid servant named Suzuki AKki. In love with Suzuki was another American sailor named Nelson Ward. Miller did not like Ward, and when he saw the latter in the house with Suzuki Aki the day Tonooka Suye refused to put the saloon in his name he got angry. That night when everybody was asleep Miller armed him- self with a razor and a hammer and start- ed to run amuck. He entered Ward's | room and after slashing him with the razor beat his brains out with the ham- mer. He then went into the room of Su- zuki Aki and beat her brains out, and then served Tonooka Suye in the same | manner. Miller then made his escape, but was captured and was under_trial for his life before Judge Miyajima Kenjiro when the Sikh sailed from Yokohama.
