The deaths of Albert E. Miller , 75 , retired railroad section
worker and his 48 year old former housekeeper, Alda Amy,
were labeled double murder today by police chief Edward
Meyers …
Meyers statement was made today more than 24 hours of
investigation of the shooting …
The police chief declined to reveal the results, however, of
paraffin tests made to the hands of Kenneth Miller, son of the
slain man, or of a 2 hour conference with young Miller …
The body of Albert Miller, sprawled on the floor of the dining
room of his home was discovered by Kenneth Miller when he returned
home at 2:30 AM Friday from Club Greyhound where he is the floor
manager… Mrs. Amy, fatally injured, was seated in a chair nearby ..
Miller was clad in his underwear and both of Mrs. Amy's shoes were off ..
A bed in the next room was disordered …
Chief Meyers said the son admitted telling an older brother, Earl, 37 ,
to hide a shotgun he threw out the window when he discovered the
tragedy but explained he did not want people to think his father had
killed himself .. Police found the gun and one shell discharged in a nearby
barn …
The elder Miller was shot in the back and Mrs. Amy wounded in the hand,
and was badly battered about the head .. She died early yesterday morning
in a Louisville hospital …. Coroner Frank Tyler of Floyd County said he though it
impossible for either victim to have fired the shot and expressed the opinion
Mrs. Amy had been wounded by the shot gun blast that killed Miller and then
had been battered about the head ….
However, Chief Meyers quoted the woman as gasping shortly before she died
" that Al Miller shot me " ….
Police discovered nearly $ 1000 in small coins in a trunk in the room ….
