ting Good Response
———New Committees
During the past few weeks a. mem-
bership campaign has been condu‘ét-
ed by the Board of Trade, and up to
the present time the response has
been greater than anticipated. Sev-
eral new members, including mer—
chants and manufacturers have been
added to the list. of members. The
campaign has been conducted so that
all parts of great Nor-walk have been
covered, and if the response to ‘the
appeal continues to be as good as it
has been, it is certain that this com-
munity will be benefitted by having
such an organization as the Board
of Trade, which is representative of
all sections of the City of Korwalk.
That the general work of the or
ganization may not be hampered
during the membership campaign
now under way, committees have
been appointed and as new members
are accepted into the organization
more appointments are made to the
already named committees. Also,
several important additional com-
mittees are to be added.
The recent appointments are:

HOFFMAN IS-
IDENTIFIED BY
GIRL WITNESS
NEW‘ YORK, May 23.—Harry L.
Hoffmah was positively identified by
a witness at his trial for the murder
of Mrs. Maud Bauer in Richmond
County Court yesterday afternoon
as the motorist who met Mrs. Bauer
on a. Staten Island road and drove’l
away with her in his car half an
hour before she was slain.
The testimony was a bombshell to
the defence, for District Attorney
Fach had so carefully concealed any
such possibility thatrjie did not even
mention it in his outline of the case
earlier in the day.
The .witness is Barbara. Fahs. a
thirteen year old school girl, of
Bloomfield. She gave in clear detail
an account of her movements on the
afternoon of the murder front the
time she left school about. three
o'clock.
She had gone to her home, she
said and eaten some cakes. Then she
started with a. younger brother to a
barber sho .
As she was walking along South
Avenue, near Merrell Avenue. ,she
said, she saw a woman walking. An
auto drove up, coming from. the,
same direction and its driver stopped
and talked to the woman.
Saw Her Enter Auto 3
She declared she heard the woman
ask the man where she could get a
rope. Then, Barbara. declared, the
woman got. into the mans car,
which later turned back in the di:
motion from which it had come.
“Could you identify that man if
you saw him again?" the- District
Attorney asked.
"I could."
--
"Do you see him in this court
room?" ' _ .
'lI d°.I' ,, I
~"W’here is he .' .
The girl turned and looked
straight at Hoffman. who stared
back at her unwavingly.
"He is the man." she said.
“How do you know him: how can
u be sure?" -

Miles In Five Days.
STAMFORD May, 23.—Covered
with dust, but looking the picture
of health and strength, Joe Crosta,
claimant to the title of ‘WOrld's
Champion \Valker, arrived in Stam-
cuffed on a long chain to a wheel-
barlow, with the first 200 miles of a.
900 mile hike completed.
Joe left Bangor, Penn.,
o’clock, daylight saving time. Sat-
urday afternoon. He arrived in
Stamford at 5 o’clock last night,
at 2:30
days. This in itself is sufficient
proof of Joe's ability on his long
hikes, which have carried lfim 40,-
000 miles since he first hit the broad
highway.
Over 900 miles in fo'rty days.
from Bangor, Penn. to Boston and
return is the feat that Joe must ac-
complish in order to win a. bet or
311000 made with Bangor business
men. Judging by the speed with
which he has covered the first quar~
to to! his journey, he can count on
the $1,000.
35 lung in 10 Hours.
"1 left New York City at 7 o’clock
this morning," said Joe’ to a Sentinel
reporter when he arrived in Stam—
ford yesterday afternoon. In other

miles in ten hours, which is fast
work, considering the handicaps
under which be labored.
The walking champion is a. dark
haired, lean. slim, man. and is twen-
ty-elght years of age; He was born
and brought up in Stamford, and
lives at No. 38 Meadow Street when
he is in the city. On his hikes the
house is closed.
Joe plans to stay in Stamford two
or three days, after which he will
again hit the road to complete his
bike. He is a. world war veteran
and a member of the Oscar Cowan
Post of the American Legion in this
city.
In Unllorm.
On his trips he dresses in a khaki
military uniform. with a. campaign
hat and a pair of well-worn army
shoes. He slept outdoors all the
time during this trip. and always
follows that‘lpoliey. Not once dill"
ing the forty days can the handcuffs
be removed. Frequently during his
trips cars follow him to see that he
accepts no money. and that he gets
no rides.
One of. the requirements of the
present trip is that Joe shall talk to
the crowds that gather when he
reaches a. city. Last night a. good
sized audience collected while Joe
was talking before The Stamford
Sentinel office, and later, when he
went into a restaurant several hun-
dred of the curious gathered to see
and hear "Old Joe." as he calls him-
self.
The remainder of his trip to Bos-
ton will carry him through the fol-
lowing cities: Not-walk, Bridgeport.
New Haven. Meridan. Hartford.
Springfield. Holyoke. TVorcester and
Boston. After reaching Boston,. he
will retrace his route 450 miles back
to Bangor. ,
During Easter week Joe won a bet
of $500 from the Pioneer Athletic
Club of this city. for hiking 350
miles between Roseto, Penm, to
Stamford and back in a. week. He
challenges anyone in {the world to- a
walking contest.

clared “that the next map brought
before him on a. similar charge
would be sent to jail for one year."
The following are also taken from
The Sentinel of ten years ago today:

in connection with the automobile
that is bringing in plenty of money."
