GRIM SUICIDE.
AT DAUGHTER’S FEET. COUNTERFEITER’S END. VANCOUVER (8.C.), Sept. 29. A few minutes after Henry Miller, a real estate operator, was caught in a raid upon a counterfeiting plant at Los Angeles he made a confession, and the police were then enabled to trap his confederate. When the police captured Miller he admitted that he expected Acolti, and the officers caught the latter redhanded. “Let me steady my nerves with a cup of coffee,” cried Miller, who must have slipped poison into it,. because he fell dying at the feet of his daughter within a minute, of consuming the draught. Miller formerly carried on a legitimate business in a large way, but a series of reverses /carried him down until he eagerly accepted the proposal of Joe Acolti to manufacture money.
