ALTMAN BOY IS EXONERATED
Acquitted by Coroner's, Jury of In
tent to Kill langley.
Freed on Ground that Playmate
Met Death in BOyish Prank
with Open Knives.

Raphael Altman vas yesterday exoner-
ated by the coroner's jury Of all blame for
the death OF Ernest Langley, a playmate,
whom he stabbed last Friday afternoon.
After hearing the testimony Of twelve
witnesses. at the District morgUe. the
jury returned the following verdict:
I'VE find that Ernest Langley came 70
his death from a stab wound I'm the heart,
and that such wound was caused by a
knife held in the hands OF Ernest Altman;
and we. the coroners jury. believe that
the stabblng was not due 10 any malicious
intent, but was the result Of an acci-
dent"
Young Altman was Immediately dis
charged from custody, and returned TO
his home al 44s New Jersey avenue south
east Langley lived az % Virginia ave
nue. southeast The two boys had been
lifelong chums. and. according to Alt
mans own statement, corroborated by
witnesses. they were pavfully slashing az
one another with knives, when Langley
staggered 90 the curbing with a wound in
his heart The stabblng occurred at the
corner Of New Jersey avenue and 3 street
southeast.
The story was tearfully repeated time
and again by Altman while he was IN
the House Of Detention, after having
been brought back from Newark, \. j..
where he was arrested Saturday
one OF the most important witnesses
examined was Deputy Coroner r. ".
Baker who performed the autopsy. He
gave it as his opinion that Langley could
not have closed the blade of a knife and
