Notes
a. Note:   Julius Kruger and his wife Marie Ring emigrated through Baltimore Maryland on December 15, 1890 with their then only living child August Frank Kruger. The family story is that sometime after 1899 Julius left the family and it is believed he returned to Germany. The family story also is that he did not like it in America. After about 7 years his wife Marie eventually had him declared legally dead (Death in Absentia) and she was then free to re-marry. She married Peter Bauer in 1913. He appears to have been an inmate at the House of Correction in Philadelphia in the 1910 census. The Family story may have been made up to save face. He escaped prison in1905.
  Transcribed Newspaper article from 1905:
 PRISONER ESCAPES IN RAIN OF BULLETS
 Saws Way Out of House of Correction Cell and Scales Wall.
 CITY-WIDE MAN HUNT
 Sawing through the bars of his cell wondow at the House of Corrections this morning so that he could squeeze through, Julius Kruger, aged 45 years, leaped to the ground and escaped a storm of bullets which guards sent after him. Kruger scaled the walls and fled into a wood near the Kensington Driving Club. Every policeman in the city has been informed of the escape.
 Superintendent Patterson, of the House of Corrections, has sent searching parties of guards in all sections throughout Holmesburg.
 Kruger, who said he came of a wealthy family in Germany, and who was sent up for six months for vagrancy three months ago, had planned his escape well.
 After sawing the bars he waited until the early morning hours when the guards are apt to be a trifle sleepy. His leap to the ground was hazardous, but the noise which his body made when it struck the earth aroused the guards. They kept silence and watched, and soon saw a form creep cautiously across the yard to the wall. They shouted to Kruger to stop, but when he realized that he was discovered he put all his strength to the task of getting over the wall. Before the guards could reach him he had got to the top of the wall, and then, despite their shots, he leap to the ground in free country. The guards pursued, and chase led across the Holmesburg race track, but desperation lent Kruger unusual sprinting power, and dodging the bullets which the guardssent after him, he escaped into the woods.
 Superintendent Patterson at once detailed parties of guards to search. So far all efforts have been fruitless. Kruger wore the regulation prison garb of gray and black stripes.
