SARGENT ALLOWS
LANGLEY PAROLE
Likely to Be Released To-
morroW-McCray Case Is
Now Being Considered.
Bv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
John w. Langley of Kentucky, once
power In the House of Representa-
tives, was granted a parole yesterday
from the Atlanta Penitentiary.
Langley, who probably will be re-
leased tomorrow, has served IL
months of a two-year sentence for
conspiring to violate the prohibition
law. BY good conduct he obtained,
under regular prison rules, a recon-
mendation for parole, which Attorney
General Sargent granted without
action from the White House.
No Pardon Bar.
While the parole will release the
Kentuckian almost Internationally
from prison, it does not restore his
civil rights. A presidential pardon,
however, would have this effect.
While it was said at the Department
of Justice that it would be unusual
for the President to allow a Christ
mas pardon so closely after q parole,
there Is no legal bar to extension on
both forms of clemency.
At the time of his conviction Lang
ley was serving mis- tenth term in the
House as a Republican from the
tenth Kentucky district, the noun
famous eastern tip of the State, and
was chairman of the public buildings
committee.
Wife Is Elected.
Even after his conviction his con-
stituents returned him to Washing
ton. but he. resigned from the House
when he failed to get reversal in
the higher courts. His wife was
elected in November to represent his
old district in Congress.
The Christmas pardons which the
President extends are recommended
by the Department of Justice, acting
on petitions from prisoners or their
friends. Representations for pardons
which the department has under con-
Nsideration include that in behalf OF
Warren T. McCray, former Governor
of Indiana. now serving 10-year SEN
tence at Atlanta on @ charge Of using

and an inquiry was undertaken by
