Scottsburg (IN) Chronicle, Wednesday, October 27, 1915, p. 1.
Wilber (consider Wilbur a spelling variant) Miller of Salem, who was taken
to Clark County to await trial there on a change of venue from Washington
County on a charge of killing Grant McCory, town marshal at Salem, is said
by Sheriff Isaac G. Phipps of Clark County to be the most obliging prisoner
he ever had in the county jail. Miller cleaned the jail cells without being
directed to do so. Miller asserts he shot McCory in self defense. He says
the shooting would not have occurred if McCory had not insulted Mrs. Miller.
He has stood trial once in Lawrence County and a hung jury resulted.
