A decision by a court in Dusseldorf to release on ball Hermine Braunsteiner Ryan, the German-born New York housewife charged with concentration camp murders, has been appealed by West German prosecutors. Mrs. Ryan was released last Thursday on $17,000 bail on the ground that she is in poor health. She was ordered to stay at her sister’s home in nearby Essen, obey all court orders and report to police daily. Mrs. Ryan was extradited from the U.S. in 1973 to stand trial with 14 other defendants.
