be fixed by the Judge if the motion for anew trial is overruled. The state had requested Lang be convicted of assault with intent to murder, which carries a sentence of one to fourteen years imprisonment, for the shooting of Nitti during a police raid on a hoodlum “hangout” in a downtown skyscraper last December. Nitti was shot three times and Lang was shot once, in the arm. Fellow officers testified Lang shot Nitti while the latter was being held with his arms behind his back, and then shot himself so he could plead self defense. Lang still must face a charge of perjury growing out of his testimony before a grand jury that indicted Nitti for shooting him.. At the trial of Nitti, however, Lang refused to repeat his testimony that the gangster shot him. and Nitti was freed. Testimony at the trial revealed the late Mayor Anton J. Cermak, slain in Miami. Fla., while standing near the then president-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, believed a New York gangster had been imported by* the Capone syndicate to assassinate him.
