New York, December 2.-Walter L.
S. Langerman, who was convicted last
week of criminal assault upon Miss
Barbara Aub, young book canvasser,
is free man tonight. Miss Aub has
confessed that she perjured herself at
the trial, that her relations with Lang
erman we're voluntary, and that his
story of the alleged assault was true
throughout
Langerman was to have been SEN
fenced Friday, but was remanded until
to-day. The surmise was that Recor-
der Goff was anxious to learn more OF
Langerman's past in order 10 gauge
his sentence to be imposed upon him.
At II o'clock this morning Langerman
was taken before Recorder Goff for
sentence in the criminal court build
ing. The prisoners counsel Colonel
Haire, moved for a new trial District
Attorney Fellows asked that the mo-
tion be denied, and his request was
granted. Then the Recorder rose, as
everybody thought, to pronounce the
sentence upon Langerman.
RECORDER GOFF BEGAN
by describing the prisoner as a man OF
evil reputation. but suddenly broke of
and said that after the verdict was
found by the jury, he had made per-
sonal investigation of the case, and
then he made known the fact that Bar
bara Aub had made a confession to him
generating Langerman and saying
she had done him a great wrong. She
admitted that her relations with the
prisoner had been voluntary. The Re-
corder wound up by dismissing the in
dictment against Langerman, but COM
mitted him TO the house of detention, as
a witness against Miss Aub. Immed-
ately after Langerman had been COM
mitted. Miss Aug was arraigned before
m!hed. Miss aub was arraigned before
Recorder told Miss Aub that he was
sorry for her, but that she had done
more harm to justice in general than
TO Langerman personally. "In days
coming" he said. when men are con-
victed on apparently good evidence,
lawyers will point to the Aub case as a
precendent."
The Recorder then committed Miss
Aub to the city prison. He then stated
that Langerman' 'es bail had been fixed
at 81 900. Friends Of the prisoner
qualified in bonds for that sum, and
Langerman was liberated.

inc for a Now Treaty.


Washington, December 2.-It is ap-
pretended here that the withdrawal by
the Canadian authorities of the right
exercised by American fishermen for

supplies in Canadian waters may lead
to reprisals at the hands Of Congress,
for it has been cOntended all along that
the privilege enjoyed by Canadian rail-
roads Of carrying goods in bond through
the United States was more than a suf-
ficient Offset 10 the faTors extended 10
American fishermen by Canada. The
action of the Canadian government just
taken has not yet been officially report
ed to the State Department, but 1t IS
regarded here as an indication of the
Canadians purpose to emphasize the
necessity for renewal Of negotiations
looking to a new fisheries treaty.
