OEIAilSOf MILLER'S
CONffSSION
Fairbanks, Sep. t> Robert Miller
confessed to the theft of the gold from
strong box on the steamer Tanana
while the treasure was being shipped
outside in .lune, and took the officer*
Monday night to the places where the
?tuff was hidden .
Two plants of nine bricks each hud
. been made near the graveyard on the
east side of town. t?ne was found in
tact. The other had been tampered
with, evidently the work of small boys,
as thd^old was found in two places
under boys' bathing suits. It is believ
ed the bricks were too heavy for the
youngsters.
The remainder was under the ware
house at the railway depot. Millet
searched industriously, but could find
C>nly two bricks. Thirteen are yet
aliasing, but it is believed Miller was
unable to find them only because of
confusion.
, Miller implicates out one confederate,
? leorge Raphael, who bitterly de
nounces for squealing, saving Raphael
had shown hit true colors any way by
stealing three bricks from him.
Miller's reason for admitting the
robbery was that he would as soon be
known as a thief as a waiter. He had
noticed the carelessness In handling
treasure shipments andecided the
chance was well worth taking
Miller is an unusually well educated
young fellow of good parentage, having
held high positions in big California
uierchantile concerns. -Miller com
muted suicide after confessing.
