Langdon is the son of Richard Lang
don, who in his lifetime was a
wealthy coal operator in central
Pennsylvania. He inherited large coal
interests and much money when his
father died, and built the Altoona and
Phillipsburg connecting road. This road
was a great drain on his resources and
left him almost bankrupt. The road
was reorganized last year under the
name of the New York and Pittsburg
Air Line. LanEdon had an office in
New York at one time when he was
head of the Langdon-Wigton Coal
Mining Company.
Ten years ago when Langdon was
president of the United Galleries Com
pany, with offices in the Drexel build
ing, Philadelphia, a young he
had been living with was found dead
on the floor of her bedroom. Langdon
was arrested, but the District-Attorney
ordered his discharge because he could
get no evidence against him.
Prosecutor Young was consulted this
afternoon in regard to the charge made
by the Wiss concern against Langdon
