Frankfort, KY, Nov. 10 - The State Prison Commissioners this 
morning granted a parole to Josephine Fritz of Union County, 
who was serving a life sentence in the penitentiary for murder. The
woman was  convicted in April 1885 of complicity with Moses 
Caton in the murder of Caton's wife. Caton was hanged for the 
crime. The evidence against the woman was circumstantial and her 
parole was asked for by the trial judge, the attorneys and many 
prominent people of Union County.
