a MURDERESS PAROLED
FRANCES KUNTzLER HAD SERVED
TWENTY YEARS IN PRISON.
Had Her Son Stay His Father-Once
She Escaped While serv-
ing Her Times

The Governor yesterday paroled Mrs.
Frances Kuntzler, who has been confined
for twenty years in the womens prison on
the charge of murder in the second degree.
Her crime, which was committed in Law
renceburg. consisted in ordering her thir-
teen-year-old boy to shoot his father. which
command he obeyed. After the deed was
done, the woman assisted the youth in
throwing the body in a we'll The Dearborn
Circuit Court convicted her in 1878.
But the crime was not without extenuat-
ing circumstances. For years she had been
subjected to the harshest treatment by her
husband, who was a depraved drunkard. He
often whipped her and would drive her out
Of the house even on wintry nights. 1t was
in a fit Of madness that she told her son to
put an end to such tyranny, but no sooner
was the deed accomplished than she bit
terly repented. When brought before the
court she pleaded guilty, and during the
long period OF her Imprisonment, save for
some rebellious acts and an escape in the
early years OF her confinement, she has
comported herself in a way to merit the APP
probation Of her guards. For long time
she has been the gardener of the institution.
i hardly know what we are going to do
now" said Superintendent Sarah f. Kelley,
last night. Il suppose the garden will have
to be abandoned. But L glad Mrs.
Kuntzler has been paroled. She has been
sufficiently punished"
Rev. Francis P. Haase, rector Of Sacred
Heart Church, interceded with the Govern
or for the parole of the woman, and Michael
Gruener, Of 261 Bicking street, has agreed
to give her a home, Mrs. Gruener having
known her in her youth Mrs KuntZler is
now about fifty years of age, is fairly in
telIlgent, and is said not to be a bad look
Ing woman despite her age and her troubled
life

Jasper Sues for an Amount Staked on
Redmond Tragedy Outcome.

Charles Hubbard a colored man, who
tried to figure as an important witness in
the Redmond murder case, but who
was not even called as a witness, has been
arrested for obtaining money under false
pretenses. The warrant was sworn out by
Joseph Tobin at the instance of William
Jasper
A few days after the arrest Of Burton
the colored knights of Pythias had an ex-
cursion. On the train were Hubbard, JAS
per and Tobin. Hubbard said that Burton
would be hanged and that Phillips and Har-
vey would probably receive life sentences.
Jasper bet him S. that the latter two men
would not get as much as twenty years
each. The money was deposited with To-
bin. Recently Harvey and Phillips were
released, and then Jasper learned that Hub
bard had long ago collected the bet money
Tobin says that Hubbard claimed he had
won the bet, and, not knowing the condi-
tons, he turned the money over to him.
