A tragic aftermath of the Nazi occupation of Czecho-Slovakia was unfolded yesterday before a coroner's jury investigating the death of Mrs. Adele Langer, 43 years old, and her sons, Karel Tommy, 6, and Jan Misha, Mrs. Langer hurled her two small sons to death late Thursday night from the thirteenth floor of the Congress hotel. A few seconds later she followed them in a death leap. The three bodies struck the sidewalk in Michigan avenue, south of Congress street.

Hear Husband's Account. Her suicide, the jury found, was committed while she was temporarily insane. The insanity arose, they found, from despondency at having been forced to leave her home and relatives in Prague to escape Nazi persecution of Jews. The jury reached this verdict after hearing the wretched, broken account ot Karel Langer, 46 years old, who until Hitler's march on Czecho-Slovakia was owner ot the $1,500,000 Hynek Marpeles textile mills in Prague. He sold the firm, the largest textile and cloth goods company the country, voluntarily, he said, but for a nominal sum that he might escape, and escape quickly.

Practically Cave it Away. "I practically gave it away to my oldest employes," he testified, "because I felt Hitler would soon seize it or order me to give it away."
