JURY WAS MISTAKEN
WALTER s. LANGERMAN DID NOT
ASSAULT MISS BARBARA AUB.
1t Was a Case of "Consent,- the Girl
the Convicted New Yorker Free.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-walter s. LANCER
man, who was convicted last week of crim-
inal assault of Miss Barbara Aub, a young
book canvasser is a free man tonight
Miss Aub has confessed that she perjured
herself at the trial; that her relations with
Langerman were voluntary, and that his
story of the alleged assault was true
throughout. Langerman was TO have been
sentenced Friday, but was remanded until
tomorrow. The surmse was that Recorder
Goff was anxious to learn more of LANCER
mans past in order to gauge the sentence
to be imposed on him.
AT IL o'clock this morning Langerman was
taken before Recorder Goff for sentence in
the Criminal Court Building. The prisoners
counsel, Colonel Haire. moved for new
trial. District Attorney Fellows asked that
the motion be denied, and his request was
granted. Then the Recorder rose as every
body thought, to pronounce the sentence on
Langerman. Recorder Goff began by de-
scribing the prisoner as man of evil repu-
tation. but suddenly broke off and said that
after the verdict, as found by the jury, he
had made a personal investigation of the
case, and then he made known the fact
that Barbara Aub had made confession
she had done him a great wrong. She ad-
mitted that her relations with the prisoner
had been voluntary. The Recorder wound
up by dismissing the indictment against
Langerman, but committed him to the
House of Detention as a witness against
Miss Aub.
Immediately after Langerman had been
committed Miss Aub was arraigned before
the court on charge of perjury. The Re-
corder told Miss Aub that he was sorry for
her. but that she had done more harm TO
justice in general than to Langerman per-
sonally. I'm days coming" he said. when
men are convicted on apparently good evil
dence. lawyers will point to the Aub case as
a precedent"
The Recorder then committed Miss Aub
to the city prison. He then stated that Lam
germans bail had been fixed at $1,000
Friends of the prisoner qualified in bonds
for that sum and Langerman was liberated.
