TRY HOFFMAN
FOR MURDER
Selection of Jury in Staying of
Mrs. Bauer Started in
Richmond

NEW YORK, May 19.-Selection
of a jury for the trial of Harry l..
Hoffman, motion picture machine
operator, on charge of first degree
murder in connection with the shay
ing of Mrs Maude A. Bauer. March
25, was started today in the Rich
mond county courthouse, Staten
Island. before County Judge Tier
nan.
Hoffman, wan and thin, was taxi
en- from the county jail to the
sheriff's office in the court house,
handcuffed to two deputies. He
paced the office nevvously until the
arrival of his counsel, Alfred F.
Norton
The courtroom was crowded with
curious spectators an hour before
the trial opened. District Attorney
Each said the prosecution would call
about 113 witnesses in its efforts
to construct chain of circumstantial
evidence against Hoffman.
The jury will be selected from two
panels of 100 talesmen each. Hoff-
mans defense, it was said. would be
an alibi.
Mrs Bauer was murdered on n
lonely road in Chelsea, while driving
her automobile stuck in the mud
and she hailed passing motorist
for assistance. She climbed into his
sedan, and was shot and killed few
minutes later when she resisted the
mans attempts to attack hen. Hoff-
man was arrested six weeks ago.
District Attorney Each questioned
the talesmen apparently with the
purpose of obtaining jurors who
would be willing to convict Hoffman
on circumstantial evidence. He
pointed out that the state might ask
the jury to find the defendant guilty
as charged, although no eye witness
to the crime might be produced.
Defense Attorney Norton appar-
emily sought jurors who had scruples
against returning verdict of guilty
without strong evidence against the
accused.
