MURDERER RELEASED.
ST.. LOUIS, April 26.-Charles f. Kring,
the famous murderer of Mrs. Dora Broem-
ser, was admitted to bail to-day in $4,000.
Kring was lodged in Jail in January, 1875,
and has only been out three times since,
the first being in 1881, which was the first
time he saw earth or sky in six years. This
was to visits dying sister. The other occa-
sions were to be photographed and to at
tend his sisters funeral. Kring was twice
tried and convicted of murder III the first
degree, and sentenced to hang in 1876 and
1881. The latter time he was within twelve
hours of execution, when stay was grant
ed by the supreme court. In addition,
there were two mis- trials, and once he
pleaded guilty to murder in the second de-
gree, and was sentenced to twenty-five
years in the penitentiary. When sentence
was passed, as he said, arrangements
had been made with the county
attorney that rs should only re-
ceive ten years sentence. He was then
placed on trial again and committed for
murder in the first degree. His counsel
carried the case to the supreme court of the
United States which recently revised the
decision of the Missouri court on peculiar
legal point. When Kring entered Jail
eight years ago his weight was one hundred
and ninety pounds; he was strong, robust,
muscular man. To-day he is emaciated,
feeble, mere skeleton, is suffering from
consumption, and it is thought cannot live
long. He will next be arraigned for muir
der in the second degree but his acquittal
is expected as the testimony cannot again
be procured. Dora Broemser, whom he
shot January 4, 1875, was the wife of his
business partner with whom he was infat-
uated, and who refused to leave her hus-
band and 60 with hin. The Kring case
was one of the most remarkable on record,
and has attracted general and professional
attention in all parts of the country.
