Miller, a child by the decedent's second wife, and other heirs, the Register of Wills on Saturday rendered his decision as follows:
"Taking all other facts into consideration the Register is clearly of the opinion that although Mr. Miller enjoys a statutory preference as son, over his elder half-sister, he has not been shown to be a proper person to be intrusted with the administration of the estate, and letters of administration on the estate of Frederick H. Miller, are accordingly awarded to Mrs. Sarah Gillam. For the same reason letters on the estate of Sarah Miller are awarded to Edwin O. Immel."
