If he is defeated, she believes an entirely new political figure will rise to the presidency. Former President Hoover, in her opinion, has no chance.

BLIND SINGER
 IN MURDER CASE

Boston, Dec. 10.-(UP)-A jury was quickly empanelled here today to decide the fate of 8 blind street singer on trial for his life charged with murdering his sweetheart by throwing her from a third-floor hotel window.
 The defendant, Forrest K. Wells, 29, soberly attired in blue serge suit, sat with bowed head in the prisoners cage as Superior Judge Thomas J. Hammond supervised selection of a jury.
 Victim of the strange tragedy was Helen Martin, alias Wells, "A, who police say acted as "eyes" for the blind minstrel from the time they met in Columbus, O., in 1927 until she was hurled to her death last July IS.
 Beside her crushed body police found the body of her pet Spitz dog which also had been tossed from the window.
 Asked the reason for his act, Wells told police at the time:
 "It's hard to explain. I know why, but I don't know how I can eX- plain it to you"
 The couple were registered at the hotel as brother and sister and occupied adjoining rooms.
