Bail Set For Man Accused Of Trying To Hire Hit Man

Bail has been set at 35-thousand dollars for a Marshall man accused of trying to pay a hit man to kill his ex-girlfriend. Christopher A. Beierle made his initial court appearance in Dane County Tuesday.  Police say Beierle offered a man 10-thousand dollars and the keys to a car to kill the woman.  She was granted a temporary restraining order against him in October because he had threatened her.  A man who calls himself “Junkyard” told investigators Beierle gave him a car key and a Post-It note with an address on it, telling him to “finish her off.”  Beierle disputes police version of what happened.
