Mr. Hoffman returned to his old r( om at 1337 L street, and he was | tully clothed when the body was dis- covered at § o'clock this morning. Mrs. Harrison summoned Policeman W. E. Davis of the second precinet, who notified Emergency Hospital and the coroner. Dr. Samuel S. Adler of the Emergency staff stated that Mr. Hoffman had been dead probably for several hours. Police were not able to verify his Army records. Mrs. Harrison said t he had told her that he had no relatives. He got very little mail, she d. and what mail he did recelve ame from Cermany.
