Bailey Miller on West Union street faces Sunday liquor case
Bailey Miller, a West Union street saloon keeper near the B and O Southwestern depot, was arraigned on a Sunday liquor law charge. A first jury failed to agree, eight for conviction and four for acquittal, then a second jury deliberated most of the day with similar reports before the Mayor discharged them. Prosecutor Herman Wilson testified he obtained liquor at Miller's, while Miller and his wife varied in their stories. The case drew rumors of violations and public concern, with defense by Major Jewett and Hon. Chas Townsend.
