on n treatment table In his office In
the Victor Building Hoffman, who lives
at 30I2 Adams street northeast, pleaded
guilty in the District Supreme Court
yesterday
After the plea Justice Siddons refer
red the case to the probation officer for
report. Justice Siddons sad he was
not ''in any way contemplating prona-
tiun for this man but wanted help In
deciding what kind of sentence to give
him"
Pea Comes Quickly.
The plea Of guilty came with ira-
matte suddenness Just after noon yes
tereiay when Hoffman, accompanied by
his attorneys, William E. Leahy and
Harry Nyce, appeared at the court
house when nearly every one had left
for the day
the plea. Clerk Sullivan asked Hoffman
II 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 returned by the grand
jury more than month ago. This
count charged deliberate and premedi-
tated murder.
Assistant United States Attorney VIII
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 trial for first de-
gree murder, 1t might be difficult to OBJ
tain 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
Holman was indicted for FIRST degree
murder little more than month ago
as result of a series of disclosures re-
garding the death of Miss Lehman
On the evening of Saturday. March
"a. police Of the first precinct were
called TO HnfIman's office TO find the
body Of Miss Lehman. Hoffman claim
ed that she had died In convIilsions
when he was preparing TO give her q
chlroprRctic treatment. She had come
to his Office complaining OF a severe
headache, accompanied by Mrs. Dolores
Monroe, an employe IN a nearby hlnch-
room, who frequently had been one OF
Hoffman's patients.
The autopsy on Miss Lehman's body
revealed the cause Of death was a
broken neck. The next Monday Fioff-
man was held by a coroner's fury for
action Of the grand jury. At the in
Quest testimony was presented 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 QrIes-
toned in the United States attorneys
ONCE, she told story to the effect that
Miss Lehman had been taken to HofY-
mans office for an illegal operation
that she had gone into commissions and
that the chiropractor deliberately had
killed her by breaking her neck In order
to conceal evidence OF the operation.

LEAGUE BODY QUITS
DESPITE WILMA ROW
Baltic Menace to Peace In
spires Talk of Economic
Penalties in Fall.
By the Associated Press.

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 Euro
pean peace. according to the opinion
expressed generally tonight as the
Council of the League Of Nations ended
its fiftieth session.
Council 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 Wilma, former
capital Of Lithuania, and recently
named anew in the constitution Of that
country as the seat of its government.
Cancellation Failure.
Attempts at Cancellation 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
1t Of being.
Members of the Council separated
with the feeling that the Baltic situ-
alton will be either better or worse by
September. If the latter proves IS be
the case the whole controversy is likely
to be thraShed out before the General
Assembly Of the League.
1t was stated In several quarters that
If the dispute reaches that stage eco
nonic and financial penalties may be
imposed, perhaps. upon the govern
ment which is shown responsible for
failure Of the conciliation urged by the
Council. That attitude. 1t was pointed
out, would be tantamount to taking
an undue risk Of causing war In the
Baltic section.
Warning From Hungary.
! The closing incident Of the session
was warning from Count Albert Ap-
| ponyi Of Hungary that the Council
cannot wash It's hands cleanly Of the
controversy between Runania and
Hungary over payment to Hungarians
for land sequestrated by the Rumanian
state. In letter to the Council, Count
Apponyi said that IL the direct negotia-
tions which have been recommended
here fail, the Council must again exer-
else its good offices. He pointed out
that the treaty Of Trianon commands
Council Intervention.
Italy complained today over what It
termed the TOO ambitious economic pro-
gram of the League. The italian posi-
ton Is that since economic situations
are constantly changing interference
by the League Is potentially harmful TO
industries in certain countries.
Adopts Compromise.
The question arose in connection with
discussion Of an investigation into the
crisis In the sugar and coal industries.
After Italy's warning had been ex-
pressed, the Council adopted q COM
promise whereby its economic commit
| tee was told to take gradual action on
any recommendations in the domain Of
ag-'~ult'lre, commerce and industry.
The Council appealed 10 all govern
mentS to heed the warning Of the eco
nomic conference. that tariffs should be
lowered IN the interest Of restoration
Of stable world conditions
