Woman Who Shot Man
Claims Sef-Defense

Seattle, Jan. 11.-Clara Elizabeth
Skarin took the witness stand in her
own defense today in her trial for
the murder of Ferdinand Hochbrunn,
wealthy real esate dealer here. in DC.
tober. 1921.
Miss Skarin admitted that she shot
and killed Hochbrunn at his home
here. declaring that she killed him in
self-defsense. Guided by her attorney,
she began the relation of her acquain-
tance with Hochbrunn, dating from
when, as a smIl girl, she was taken
TO his home by her mother, who after
ward acted as his housekeeper.
Replying to a question, Miss Skarin
said she had returned to Seattle from
Kalamazoo, Mich, in 1921, shortly be-
fore the shooting, on Hochbrunn's S
written promise that he would re-
store to her money he had obtained
from her mother. Her only reason for
returning to Hochbrunn's home, she
said. was to obtain the money.

member of the ku Klux Klan. a char
ter member and still a member, as
serted on the witness stand today at

band activities in Morehouse and the
Staying of Watt Daniel and Thomas
Richard, that although he attended
meetings of the klan he could name
but one official, Captain Skipwith.
Skipwith is exalted cyclops OF tho

salesman. who testified yesterday, as
one who seemed active in carrying
messages between men who took part
in the kidnapping of Richard on
