He also raided illegal gambling operations across the state and enforced the state’s then-ban on public drinking by stopping alcohol-serving passenger trains in their tracks and seizing booze on planes crossing into Kansas.</p><p>Miller was elected Kansas Attorney General in 1970, despite having never tried a case in court.
