sentenced to IS years in the peni-
tentlary in the Audrain County |
Circuit Court, for committing a
nameless outrage upon Bette sira
at Montgomery City, has been vir.
tually released by the approval of
his bend OF $S, 900 by the Supreme
Court of the State of Missouri. His
attorneys took an appeal from the
Circuit Court OF this county to the
Supreme Court of the State with
the above result Upon the notifi-
cation of the approval of his bond
by the Supreme Court, a LEDGER
man called at the Jail to-day and
informed him of the fact, and ask
ed him if he had anything to say
in regard to the matter, but he was
obstinate and would say nothing
about his case or what course he
would pursue when once more a
free man. The only thing he said
to the reporter was, Il will say
nothing, then there will be no lies
told on me-" With that he turned
and left. the reporter by himself.
Dusenberry is a very large, mus
cular man, powerfully built, with
dark hair. and keen, penetrating
black eyes, and looks anything else
but a man who would commit such
desperate and heinous crime as
he is charged with committing.
His long confinement, a little over
two years, make him lock little
care-worn, but outside of that he is
looking exceedingly well, and in
case of necessity, seems to be en-
ljoying Jail life splendidly. The
documents in his case have been
forwarded to Jefferson City by his
attorneys for approval, and in the
course of a couple of days Dusen.
berry will step out of Jail into the
world comparatively free man.
His wife from Montgomery City
has been with him almost all day
She having been notified of the &C
, ceptance of the bond was also In

! would not release him until all pa
