SON OF FAMOUS OUTLAW FINALLY SET FREE.

Around many a family piano and campfire, they sing the famous song: Otis Miller was a lad that killed many a man He robbed the Lannahechee train But that cowardly killer that shot Mr.Miller Has laid ol'Otis in his grave

Otis Miller Jr. was only six years old at the time his outlaw father was killed by a fellow outlaw. He then grew up to find himself arrested last year for the holdup and dynamiting of a Pacific Union train.

As the time of his arrest, he was working on a cigar stand in the corridors of the court house where he would be tried. After a train carriage was dynamited, a suspect wrote a full confession implicating Miller Jr. as the leader of the gang, firmly believing that the officials would no doubt assume the son had taken after his father.

However, after several months in prison, it was found that the confession was fabricated and Mr. Miller was set free. The elder Miller was once the most famous bandit in the world, having in 1866 performed the first hold up and robbery of a train.
