A CONFESSION OF PERJURY.
Miss Aub Admits That She swore Falsely
/ Against Langermnn.

Against Langerman.
NEW YORK Dec. 2.--Wnlter L. 8. LANCER.
man, who was convicted last week of GRIM
inal assault upon Miss Barbara Aub, q
young book eanvasser Is free man today.
Miss Aub has confessed that she perjured
herself at the trial, that her relations with
Lnngerman were voluntary, and that his
story Of the alleged assault was true
throughout.
Langerman was to have been sentenced
last Friday, but was remanded until yes
terday. The surnise was that Recorder
Golf was anxious to learn more Of LANCER
mans past in order to gauge the sentence
to be imposed upon him. When LANCER
man was taken before Recorder Gon for
sentence tho prisoners counsel, Colonel
Haire, moved for II new trial. District At
torney Fellows asked that the motion 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 off, and said that after the
verdict was found by The jury he had made
personal investigation of the caso and
then he made known the fact that Bar
bara Aub had made q confession to him.
The recorder then wound up by dismiss
ing the indictment against Langerman,
but committed him to the house OF deten-
tion as a witness against Miss Aub.
Miss Aub was then arraigned on
charge of perjury, and tho recorder COM
mitted her TO the city prison. He then
stated that Langerman's bail as witness
had been fixed at 81 900, which was promptly
furnished, and Langerman was liberated.
