ARGUMENTS HEARD
s. IN HOFFMAN CASE
Justice SiddonS Takes Under
Amusement Ruling on
DemurrerS Filed.

2 today took under advisement argu-
ments OF counsel on the demurrers filed
By Louis w. Hoffman. physiotherapist.
to two indictments, charging him with
murder in the first degree and with
performing an illegal operation which
caused the death of Eleanor NJ. Lehman
at his offices In the Victor Building
March s.
Counsel for Hoffman Insisted that the
first two counts of the murder indict-
ment are faulty because they charge q
series Of assaults leading up To the
criminal operation. from which the
young woman died and for which the
law sets penalty OF 20 years imprison-
ment. The Government In an Indictment
may not raise the crime to first degree
murder unless ii specifically follows the
statutes. II was contended
Against the second count IL was urged
that the indictment charges merely an
attempt to perform the Illegal opera
uon,. which attempt under the law Is
merely q inisdemeanor, and the statute
which makes a resulting death when att
tempting felony constitutes murder hl
the first degree. does not apply in the
case Of miSdemeanor,
No objection was made by cosulsel
against the third count Of the mdset~
ment, which charges common law
first degree murder,
As 60 the indictment charging the
Illegal operation. counsel for the ae~
eused eontended that it Is faulty be-
cause 1t fails to negative the entire ex~
ception contained In the statute. The
indictment sets forth that the operation
was mot for the life or health" Of the
woman. but falls 70 add 'sand vas not
made under the direction OF eompe-
tent physician Counsel urged that
the entire exception as made BY Con-
gress should have been set cut IN the
indictment.

PARIS, May l6.-Permanently
waved eyelashes Is the latest craze
of the uItra-chic and eccentric
Parisienne, whose extreme coQuetry
is no longer satisfied by curling and
blackening. A deft hand and spe-

lashes. Even so the result Is often
more wonderful than pleasing. and
