COOLIDGE GIVES LANGLEY PARDON Former Representative, Con- victed in Whisky Withdrawal Case, Restored Citizenship. By the Associated Press. President Coolidge gave former Rep- resentative John W. Langley of Ken- tucky a Christmas gift yesterday in the form of a pardon, restoring full citi- zenship rights which he lost in 1924 upon conviction of conspiracy to ille- gally withdraw whisky from Govern- ment storage. Mr. Langley whose seat has been held by his wife, since, was in Congress serving his ninth term when he was indicted with five others. The indictments were returned in Washington and conviction followed in Covington, Ky. He resigned from the House when the Supreme Coprt re- fused to review his case and, sending an appeal to the voters of his district too “save our home” by returning Mrs. Langley to his post, began serving a two-year sentence in Atlanta Peniten- tiary. He was paroled at the end of one year, but no action was taken on a rdon, which had been expected from me President at Christmas, 1926, The pardon was recommended to the President by Attorney General Sargent. Langley was chairman of the House public building and grounds committee at the time he resigned his seat. A TR DEATH OF ALIENIST IS LAID TO WORRY | Has Cerebral Hemorrhage After Pleas Fail to Save Slayer From Electric Chair. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. December John L. Macumber, alienist and neu- Tologist, died in a hospital today from the effect of a cerebral hemorrhage, caused, friends believe, by worry over the conviction of the late Thomas (“Red”) Moran, whose cause the doc- tor champoined. Dr. Macumber was born in Zanesville, Ohio, 67 years ago. Moran was executed at Sing Sing Prison recently for the murder of two policemen. Dr. Marcumber, testifving at Moran's two trials, had contended that the man was No: reSPONSIDIE 101 his acts and that the State therefore should not exact the death penalty. Shortly before Moran's execution the alienist pleaded with Gov. Smith for | clemency. On his return home from Albany Dr. Macumber, apparently agitated by | his failure to save the condemned man, | suffered the hemorrhage several hours before Moran went to the electric chair.

By the Associated Press. BOISE, Idaho, December 22—Little Dorothy Clawson, who'll soon be 3, doesn’t know it, but Santa Claus has a better chance of finding her now than before she was taken from her parents yesterday, her tiny body a mass of | bruises, scars and burns. Her only inquiry at being placed by | juvenile authorities in the children’s home was “Will Santa know I'm in a new place now?”" Dorothy was found huddled in a cor- ner of her home biting on a crust of bread. A warrant charging her father with battery was sworn out on the com- plaint of investigating authorities, who said the scars and burns on her face apparently had been made with a hot poker. Maybelle Keyser, city welfare officer, said the mother admitted the ! child had been cruelly mistreated, but | contended “that was the way I was brought up and I don't know any dif- ferent.” Art Goebel Recovering.
