Former singer faces murder brother slain
A former opera singer and her chauffeur were charged with the slaying of Capt. Harry R. Miller, a wealthy retired Cincinnati fireman, and the dismembering of his body. Warrants were filed after a mass of evidence, including a head and limbs found in a Kentucky lake and a head believed to match Miss Flora Miller, a 66 year old Cincinnati resident. The case drew in Indiana authorities and a habeas writ was planned as investigators weighed ties to Carroll County Kentucky and Eminence.
