Berner Sentenced Twenty Years For Manslaughter In Cincinnati
William Berner was sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary and to pay court costs for manslaughter in the killing of William H. Kirk on December 24, 1885. A prior murder indictment failed, prompting a massive public outcry and a violent jail mob that left several dead or wounded as militia tried to restore order. The mob seized weapons from armories and shops, while the fire department fought fires in a ruined court house. The episode ended with Berner's capture and transfer to prison amid continued unrest and martial law threats.
