HANGED Y. BOYS FOR FU. Boy's First Visit to Theatre Proved Fatal —The Buzz -Saw Scene. - New nark, Sept. 8.—Seritenced to death by his playmates in sport, John W. Langer, jun., six years old, was almost the victim ,yesterday in Union II111, IN. X., Of a boyish Jest. Cut doe* from a make-believe gallacas ea he Was strangling to death by' big mother, who' was pass- ing and heard his playmates' cries for help, the lad was taken liotne black in the face. It is said that he had a harrow, escape from be- ing. literally hanged 'until dead. With other boas lie was playing "ceps and robbers." In casting about for a lad to personate a Oaring burglar, his comrades pick- ed out little John. It was planned that he should break into! an Ina agleary church and be caught redheaded while robbing a mythi- cal poor box. This was very -.pleasantly enact- ed, and so was the trial which eras the inanediate sequence. The eleven other lads whet took part in the gaxne constituted themselves judge, Jury, witnesses and prose- cutors, and little John was prompt- ly convicted, having no counsel, and sentenced to be hanged Wititout benefit of clergy. alh.e boys get a clothes line and used a lamppost for gallows. The ittle tea !Was told to stand upon box, the rope was fastened bove, and then a noose was pet a.boat his melt. Kicking the box away, the embryo sheriff and the other executioners stood by, and sawthe unfortunate lad kick, writhe, struggle and choke until the sight of his purple face and protruding toegue frightened them SO that their juvenile wits depart- ed. They :had rigged the rope with • ease, but to untie it witlt the boy's Seelght Welding it teat was not so easy. After bungling in the at- tempt at Ids release they scream- ed for help. Mother love or maternal instinct drow Mrs. Langer in that direction in the nick of them. Sim was horrified at the sight oa her child nearly stran- gle(' to death. His tiny hands*, which had made futile cintches at the cruel rope, were now hanging belpless by hie side and his head was drooping. Just how she got him, down and clasped to her breast, Mrs. Langer would find it hard to tell, but he was unconscious when resaued, and, after ,being taken to his parents' home, 126 New York avenue, and Dr. Justin had arrived, was pro- nouncea in a critical condition.
