VICTIMS OF NAZI-ISM.
Czech Woman And Two Young
Sons Commit Suicide.
NEW YORK HOTEL TRAGEDY. (Received 9.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, August 4. Mrs. Karl Langer, aged about 40, and Iter two sons, Jfarl, aged six, and Jan. aged four, members of a wealthy Czcchoslovakian family whose fortune disappeared in the Nazi absorption, leaped from the thirteenth storey of the fashionable Congress Hotel, where they had registered from Xew York. The woman was fully clothed, but the lads were in underwear. When going up in the lift the woman told the operator that the children were very tired and said: "They are going to see their daddy soon." The woman's husband, a former textile manufacturer, was found in the basement of a flat. The police locked him up, fearing a suicide attempt.
