JOHN III. LANGLEY DIES IN KENTUCKY Ex-Representative Is Paid Final Tribute by Hill Folk. In Congress 19 Years. By the Associated Press. PIKEVILLE, Ky.. January 18— Hill folk from the eastern highlands of Kentucky trudged Into Plkeville today to pay final tribute to the "great friend of the mountains.” John W. Langley, the man who rep resented them In Congress for 19 years only to slip Into political oblivion after serving part of a two-year sentence for conspiracy to violate the national pro hibition laws, died here yesterday. He was 111 three days with pneumonia. Elected to Congress 10 Times. Langley, himself a mountaineer, was 69 years old and boasted that in his lifetime he "never missed an oppor tunity to defend our beloved moun tains.” He was elected to Congress from the tenth Kentucky district 10 times, once while he was awaiting ac tion on his appeal on the liquor charge. He was succeeded by his wife, Mrs. Katherine Langley, who was defeated for re-election by A. J. May. Langley, a Republican, was tried and convicted In 1925 of having conspired to draw and sell Illegally 1.400 cases of bonded whisky from the Belle of An derson Distillery at Lawrenceburg, Ky. j His sentence was fixed at two years and he entered the Atlanta Penitentiary in January of 1926. He was paroled in December of the same year and a few j days later President Coolidge granted a full pardon with restoration of citi eenship. Viewed Self As Martyr. Mrs. Langley was defeated In 1930. Langley always claimed he was sent to prison on trumped-up charges. He said he was "stabbed in the back by men I’ve helped along in life," and termed his prison sentence "the final chapter In my martyrdom.” After his release he wrote a book In which he condemned those he thought responsible for his imprison ment.
