He was ready to testify to anything to save his life. ae 3 Miller's first trial was begun in October, 1909, Miller appearing as his own counsel Tennant denied he ever put Miller in the black hole, and denied as saulting him, except in self-defense, Witnesses for the defente, prison- ers willing to testify to their ex- periences in the black hole, were led in in shackles, to impress the jury. He was convicted, but the supreme court sent the case back for retrial And thus it went, from trial to trial, Miller was charged with the murder of Hugh McMahon, but man- aged to escape the penitentiary. Two charges of burglary and a per- jury charge also accumulated But, in spite of Tennant—in spite of Prosecutor Murphy and his spe- cial “Peter Miller fund”—Peter Miller is still in the county jail, and hopes to be free. At least he and his counsel, Judge Glasgow, say they hope he's going to be free, However dismal Peter's chances may look to one on the outside, they do not affect his spirits. He was very jovial today, on his anniver- ary. “I can stand five years more of It if they can,” he says.
