...witness stand, Miss Miller, smart in a blue tailored suit, told a sympathetic jury that Ross Wyatt had wooed her and pursued her for seven years; had kissed her the week he hired her as his secretary in 1931; had threatened to kill her brother if he interfered; had sworn to kill "both of you" if he found her going with another man.
