Reportedly, the three* men, their four newly-acquired chickens, and an unwilling chauffeur then proceeded to the home of Mrs. R. L. Cheatham, and paid her a midnight visit, requesting that she purchase the fowls. Mrs. Cheatham didn’t respond enthusiastically to the business transaction, so the peddlers continued their journey, much to the discomfort of John Lee Miller.
Mr. Miller states that shortly thereafter, near the home of Stant Weaver, he managed to escape from the troublesome trio, on foot, leaving them his car—minus the keys. It is reported that Mr Weaver slept through the slight disturbance near his gate, unaware that three men were having difficulty keeping possession of a car, keys, and un-cooperative chauffer, and four feathered friends.
John Lee Miller made his way to Washington and gathered unto himself a posse, consisting of his brother, Tom Miller, and Ed Foster. Upon their return to the scene where John Lee Miller had left his car and his un-wanted companions, one of the chicken peddlers was found asleep in the car. The other two were apparently out in search of their flock which must have flown the coop, and when last seen were headed toward Mrs. Cheatham’s barn.
The following morning after John Lee Miller had furnished the necessary data for a warrant, Sheriff Critzer visited the erstwhile chicken peddlers and invited them into town.
