The Daugherty–Miller trial · day 1, picking a jury
As printed: Ex-Attorney General Seems Nervous as Proceedings Open
ContextHarry M. Daugherty was Attorney General under President Harding and resigned in 1924 amid the scandals of that administration; with him in the dock is Thomas W. Miller, the former Alien Property Custodian. They are charged with conspiring to defraud the government over the return of $7,000,000 in American Metals Company assets to German and Swiss interests — the first time a former Cabinet officer has stood trial for his conduct in office.
