A Widely Known Convict Is Sow Said to Be Innocent of Any Crime. Nrw York, Aug. 17. The history of James W. Miller, saya a morning newspaper, if fully told, would read like fiction. Miller ia an better known as "Shoebox." He waa introduood to Miaa Stewart Moeby by Count to whom he haa been present! by a prominent citizen of Pittaburg. Ha became engage.! to Miss Mosbv, and the lady's brother, on learning of Miiler'a past, tried to shoot the count who he thought had acted knowingly. Close on the story why no defense was made when Miller was convicted of torturing and robbing an old couple at. Brady's Bend, Pa., comes a partial corroboration by Miller's attorney. The story stated in substance that Miller was an assumed name, and tbat the man knew nothing of the crime for which he was convicted, but that on the night of the robbery he had shot and aa he suppobed killed a "oal." Wh An nr. rested he feared to make a defense and thus reveal his whereabouts and face, aa he believed, a charire of murder. Thia hooting was done in Cleveland. The victim recovered and the police never knew of it all. A dispatch from Iitti h burg says Col. William I).
