Day of Murder Trial Hinges on Hoffman's Alibi
In Richmond County Court on March 28 motion picture operator Massy Harey Hoffman testified about his movements on the day Mrs. Maude Bauer was killed in Chelsea. He described a Staten Island start at 12 38 PM, a ferry to Manhattan, visits to his brothers offices and a Chinese restaurant, then a return to Staten Island by 4 PM and home along South Avenue. Prosecutors pressed the alibi as other witnesses, including Racey Parker, testified Hoffman sought to frame Parker. Barbara Fahy, a 13 year old who initially identified Hoffman, later failed to recognize him. The jury and courtroom reacted as details of the investigation and suspect descriptions were laid out.
