Edward T. Miller (outlaw)

Edward T. Miller (outlaw)

Edward T. Miller (ca. 1856– December, 1881) was a Missouri born outlaw and a younger brother of outlaw Clell Miller.

Little is known about Miller, except that he took part in several robberies with Jesse James, especially after the downfall of Jesse's James-Younger gang. They robbed a train in Glendale, Missouri, in 1879 and one in Blue Cut, Missouri, in 1881.

Miller was killed by Jesse James in December 1881. According to some sources he was killed for talking too much about the Kansas City Fair robbery, which took place in 1872. Others say Miller became drunk one night and told a marshal about a train robbery that was to take place in the near future.
