Hoffman, physiotherapist, years to life imprisonment for second dogree murder in connection with the death on March 23 of Miss Lehman, 23 years old, who died while | on a treatment table in his office in the Victor Building. Hoffman, who ltves at 3012 Adams street northeast, phcm guilty in the District Supreme ay. After the plea Justice Siddons refer- red the case to the probation officer for a report. Justice Siddons so'd he was not “in any way contemplating proba- tion for this man but wanted help in mflfing what kind ef sentence to give Plea Oomes Quickly. The plea of guilty came with dra-| matic suddenness just after moon yes- | terday when Hoffman, accompanied his attorneys, Willam E. Leahy and Harry Nyce, appeared at the court- house when nearly every one had left for the day. Justice Siddons reopened court to hear | th~ plea. Clerk Sullivan asked Hoffman if he wanted to withdraw his previous plea of not guilty, and Hoffman, calm | and apparently unmoved, said he did. | He pleaded guilty to the third count on the indictment returmed by the grand ! jury more than a month ago. This count charged deliberate amd premedi- tated murder. Assistant United States Attorney Wil- | liam H. Collins, who had been in charge | of the prosecution. was prepared to| press for an immediate trial. He as- sented to the second degree plea, he said, because, although he felt sure the evidence justified a trial for first de- gree murder, it might be difficult to ob- | tain a first degree verdict. Wife Hears Plea. | Hoffman's wife was present in court | when the plea was made. Hoffman has been held in the District Jail. Hoffman was indict~d for first degree | murder a little more than a month ago | as a result of a serics of disclosures re- garding the death of Miss Lehman. | On'the even'ng of Saturday, March 24, police of the first t were to Hoffman's office to find the body of Miss Lehman. Hoffman claim- | when he was preparing to her a anr:;n-m: treatment. sh::}v:d come office complaining of a_severe headache, accompanied by Mrs. Dolores Monroe, an employe in 2 nearby lunch- room, who frequently had been one of an!mm ‘patients. @utopsy on Miss Lehman's body | revealed the cause of death was broken neck. The mext Monday Hoff- | men was held by a coroner’s jury for action of the grand jury. At the in-| auest testimony was presemted to show | that Miss Lehman had taken large | quantities of aspirin during the day which might have had something to do with her death. Analysis of the con- tents of her stomach, however, showed no traces of aspirin. ‘The next move came when Mrs. Mon- roe was arrested in New Jersey and brought back to Washington. Ques- tioned in the United States attorney’s office, she told a story to the effect that Miss Lehman had been taken to Hoff- man's office for an fillegal ration. that she had gone into con s and that the chiropractor deliberately had killed her by breaking her neck in order to conceal evidence of the operation.

By the Associated Press. GENEVA, June 9.—The Baltic bitter« ness, resulting from the unsettled dis« pute between Lithuania and Poland, | remains as the only danger to Buro- pean peace, according to the opinion expressed generally tonight as the Council of the League of Nations ended its fiftieth session. Counell members made no attempt to conceal their chagrin that the body had found itself unable to liquidate this quarrel. The basis of the dispute is the Polish possession of the city of Vilna, former capital of Lithuania, and recently named anew in the constitution of that country as the seat of its government, Conciliation Failure. Attempts at conclliation before the Council failed utterly—so much so that many of the statesmen are wondering whether, after all, the League should not be transformed into that super- state which its enemies already accuse it of being. Members of the Council separated with the feeling that the Baltic situ ation will be either better or worse by _ September. If the latter proves 15 be the case the whole controversy is likely to be thrashed out before the Gencral Assembly of the League. It was stated in several quarters that if the dispute reaches that stage cco- nomic and financial penalties may be imposed, perhaps, upon the govern- | MISS BOLE FRETS AT DELAY.
