UEHAMTOFACE CUKEOF MURDER RECOVERING IN HOSPITAL FROM THROAT SLASH, SELF INFLICTED Attempted Suicide After Dynamiting Little Children Instantly Killed In Found Hiding- in Barn in Weakened Condition. A charge of murder'will be lodged against Perry Langham, a native of Montgomery township, this county, who is a patient in the Spangler hospital, where he is being treated for injuries, declared to be self-inflicted in a suicidal attempt. Langham, who is said to be mentally deranged, is charged with dynamiting his home at Emeigh Run, near Cherry Tree, resulting in the death of his daughter, Larue Emily, aged six years, and his son, Perry Arthur, aged 14 months, and the injury of his wife. Two other children escaped uninjured in the blast which wrecked the Langham home early Wednesday morning. Langham, who is aged 51, was employed by the Cherry Tree Coal Company, and left his home two months ago, following a quarrel with his family.

His mental condition is said to have been responsible for domestic troubles which occurred frequently at the home. Because he had told friends that he was going to "end it all" the authorities started a search for Langham, who was found hiding in the barn on the Edward Irwin farm, near Arcadia, in the vicinity of his former home. With his throat slashed and suffering from exposure and lack of nourishment he was a most pitiful- sight. Greatly weakened by the loss of blood from the knife wound in his and his long ainiless tramp he was In an exhausted condition. When he was dragged from beneath a pile of hay in the barn he asked the officers about the result of the blast.

Tightly clutched in his hand was a badly written note to his wife and-his brief to Albert Rairigh, of Cherry Tree, including these few words: "You give me good berrlal. Make it right, then give the rest to dady and mother. My insurance is $515." He was taken to the hospital where his wife was also removed after the explosion. Both are recovering. The two little children, who lost their lives in the explosion, were instantly killed.

Two other children and Mrs. Langham's brother, who were in the house at the time of the explosion, were not injured. Funeral services for the two little victims were held at the home of Mrs. Langham's sister, Mrs. Clarence Ferrier.

White, aged 36, of West Church street, met a tragic death by drowning in Little Yellow creek, just above "the dead waters" in Cherry- hill township, Sunday evening, when he stepped into a deep hole and was seized, with cramps. Accompanied by Harry McKee, town, he drove to the creek that evening to seek relief from the intense, heat by bathing.

After the two had been in the water for sometime, Merle, who was unable to swim, stepped from an offset into deep water and when seized with cramps, sank. As he went down he called to his companion, who was also in the water "only a short distance away. McKee, although unable to swim, made an effort to savo his friend, but the attempt, was vain. Reaching the shore he ran to a nearby farm house and summoned aid. When, help arrived it was a half hour before the body could be located and brought to the shore.

First aid methods failed to revive the young man. The tragic death came as a great shock to the community, where the deceased was one of the popular young men and was known to his host of friends as "Jockey" White.
