The wife of the man accused of murdering his ex-wife last week after the entire trio appeared on "The Jerry Springer Show" was freed on $25,000 bail yesterday, after serving four days in a Sarasota, Fla., jail. Eleanor Panitz was held as a material witness in the July 24 beating death of Nancy Campbell Panitz, the ex-wife of Nancy's husband, Ralf Panitz. He remains behind bars, being held without bail on a first-degree murder charge.
