The suit is being bitterly contested by Mrs. Miller, who. with affidavits and court records galore, seeks to show the court here that she te not to blame for the ship-wrecked life of the pair, and alleges instead that her husband is at fault. WIFE WORKIN GIN STORE. Miller, who, now resides at Notus, early last summer tiled a gnmplalnt in the district court, asking divorce from his wife on the grounds of desertion. A little later he received his frst jolt which came in a etter from Judge Jones Parker of the St. Louis court of criminal corrections, which cited that Mrs. Miller was working in a depart ment store for a small salary and had no money with which to fight the case. Judge Parker sent an answer to the eomtlaint and asked to have It filed if any provisions could be made in a case in which a defendant was without funds. Later the answer was filed by Gardner Adams and the case lay dor mant until yesterday afternoon when Miller took the stand to give testimony in his vn behalf to secure a decree. HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS. According to the testimony given by Miller, he was married in 1898, and there are two children, both girls, now residing with their mother. He gave a brief history of their stormy career for eight years, testifying that hs wifu refused to move to a farm with him for the reason that she said fTie girls were musical and they must live in the city, where they could be well edu eated and have music lessons, Some eight years after their mar riage. he testified, his wife filed acton for divorce against him and while lie did not contest it. she did not secure a decree.
