ten word in large sections of the
world" Judge Cayton declared.

Keep in mind the fact that Amer

equal Justice; that we can walk down
the street without fear of being
snooped at or sniped at, and owe no
allegiance to any master who calls
himself the leader"
"Our responsibility as citizens in
wolves more than. paying taxes or
serving on jury when summoned"

the ardous routine of serving civic
interests, at present through civic
associations, in such manner as to
be a real contribution to national
and local government"

be|tsvilIe Mystery
Investigators Lean
To Murder Theory
Police Fail in Effort
To Trace Five-GuIIon
Cun in Churred Auto

Meager clues pointed today tc
murder rather than suicide in the
death of a man believed to be
George Hofmann. 80, whose charred
body was found chained inside his
burned sedan yesterday on a little
used road in the Department of Ag-
riculture Research Center at Belts
vile, Md.
Prince Georges County police and
Federal Bureau of Investigation
agents, it was said, were unable to
uncover any motive for suicide, and
police said it would have been diff
f1cult for a man to have chained
himself in the position the body
was found. A partial Identification
of the body found in Hofmann's car
may be clinched by dental work, in
cluding two gold teeth in the upper
jaw.
The bone structure of the badly
burned corpse disclosed it was that
of man and a fragment of blue
serge may have been the remains
of his suit. Police were unable to
trace heavy f1ve-gallon can found
in the charred sedan, believed to
have contained gasoline for drench-
ing the interior.
Friends and Relatives Questioned.
Talks with friends and relatives
of Mr.. Hofmann failed to disclose
either a suicide motive or any pos
sible enemy who might have wished
to do away with him, it was said
Neither could it be learned whether
the man had been shot or clubbed
before the gasoline fire was touched
of.
The dentist who last worked on Mr.
Hofmann's teeth is being sought fol
aid in making the identifica tion pos
tive. ..
Mr.. Hofmann, the service manager
for a Washington automobile COM
pany, was last seen at home Sunday
night, about IL hours before the body
was found by a colored w. P. A
worker, one of the repair crew oiling
section of the East-West highway
that runs through the research CEN
ter grounds 81
On Fishing Trip Sunday.
His wife, Mrs. Emma HUfmann
from whom he has been separated
for more than year, was unable to
throw any light on the mystery and
Fred Holman told police he had
last seen his brother Sunday when
he left his home in Branchville
without saying where he was going
Fred Hofmann said he had been
fishing Sunday with his brother,
who had seemed in good spirits.
Police gave no indication as to
whether the body revealed any trace
of foul play. Heavy tire chains were
looped around the neck and fastened
to the door jams on either side OF
the charred machine.
F. B. 1. agents who were called into
the case because the body was
found on Federal property, today
were questioning woman estranged
from her husband. with whom Mr.
Hoffman, had frequently been seen
in company in recent weeks.
She had been out of the city over
the week end, it was learned. and
returned yesterday morning to start
work at a new job with a motor
company in Washington, it was
learned.
When she returned she tele-
phoned the firm for which George
Hoffman, formerly worked and at
first was told he was not working
yesterday. The third time she called
she was told he was dead and COL
lapsed from shock. She was under
medical treatment last night but
had recovered this morning.
