LANGLEY GETS FREEDOM. i "My First Thought is of Wife. : Home and Children,” He Says. ' (By International News Service.) Atlanta. (4a., Dee. 23 —".My first thought is naturally of home. wife, children and friends. I want to ge» to them as quickly as 1 can.” These are not the words of a long, lost war veteran, just recovered from shell-shock, and memory returned, nor of a "Rip Van Wrinkle.” just awakening, They are from a prisoner known throughout the United Mtates when he was given his freedom from penitentiary walls here this week-hLs Christmas gift from Uneli Sam, so I to speak. Such was the answer given news paper reporters' questions when John AV. Lnngely, one time Congress man from his home state of Ken tucky, walked out of Atlanta Feder al Penitentiary here this week a fret man, after having served little less than ayenr of a two year sentence for alleged violation of the prohi bition act. With a smile covering his face, and gratitude to everyone, it seemed, the former congressman from the tneth Kentucky district. walked briskly from the great stone build ing that had been his '"home” for many months, thinking, perhaps, mr.st’.v of the hour when lie would reach Pikesvillc and home. The hap piness wan occasioned when United States Attorney General Sargent had affixed his signature to hie parole, previously favorably passed on by the Federal Parole Board, ns the result of untiring efforts of his friends. “I am" going to spend Christmas with my family,” was his word to newspaper men. “I am paroled like anyone else, under the laws and rules of the institution ndopteed pur suant thereto. My first thought is naturally of home, wife children and friends. I want to get to them as qipekljr as I can " . . ; ; , “At the proper time and in the ’proper way. I shall probably have something to say or to write, or both I am sure it will interest and pro bably astonish a good many people of this country - . For the present, I trust I may' he excused with this statement.” That was all. He had nothing further to say to newspaper report er*. AVhat will his future statement re veal? When is the proper,time and what the proper way? l Also, what will occasion the “astonishment?” These were, some of the things tnnt the newsimper reporters wondered and asked. But there was no answer from the former Congressman. He had given them all he intended on bis future plans at leaving toe prison walls where he had been given ,the position as editor of “Good Words," the prison paper. The papers from Washington or-, dering his parole and release, for' which prison authorities had to have' in hand before turning'' their um~i free, arrived in the early afternoon. Mr. iLangle bad already made his preparations for a quick departure. He awaited only arrival of the pa- P" POPE PIUS' XI.. — , pers. Before taking his departure, Mr Langley paused in the flier of Ward en Snook and thanked that oflicia' for his kindness to him while hr was an inmate nf the institution. Id declared that in all his career he had never seen a busier man than the warden, or one who fulfilled his duties in a more pleasing manner. He said he had been treated well, and said that his imprisonment had not injured his health since he felt "ns good or better now than when I entered." He started serving liis term on January 22. He id 63 years of age. And to show the popularity of the t man and the prisoner who. while indicted, was reelected to his sent in Congress by the largest, gate he ever lAccivwl from his fellowmen, many of his prison friends gathered around as he was leaving the massive bui'ding to shake his hand anil bid him well. lie had won them over *». he hnd won over imfiiy outside prlarfr walls. The man who was reelected to a responsible office while under indict incut and then to resign that office in the national house when he was convicted last year. maintained throughout his trial that he wa "frnmed" on tlx ehnrge of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law by political enen.ies. Then his wife took up his figh‘ where he left off when he started for prison, by announcing iier can didacy to succeed lice husband it' the House. And she was elected ti her husband’s seat by a large major ity, which fact, she e'nimed, was vindication for her husband. On September 14, Langley, unde’ the law, became eligible for a parole Immediately his friends bet about to gain his freedom which came a week before Christmas. Only on sorrow still abides . it; Langley's heart, perhaps. He is denied his citizenship for under law. he is not a citizen he has been fully pardoned. Now. it is said, his friends will seek to secure his pardon in order that he may run for his old seat two years hence. But he will spend Christmas at his own fireside. No wonder the former Contfress man waved a smilirfg “farewell” to friends as his trnin pulled out of the station here for home. Person Plans to Broadcast Attack on Cotton Co-Ops.
