CHASTITY CRIME
is CONFESSED!
Lincoln Buries Heads of Two
Victims in Cement Block

AURORA, ILL.,, Jan. 26<-War-
rem j. Lincoln, eccentric attOr-
ney-gardener, who confessed
numbering his wife and brother
in-law, Byron Shoup, today led
authorities 10 the city dump,
where they discovered the heads
of Llncoln's victims imbedded in
concrete block.
Lincoln, distant kinsman Of Abra.
ham Lincoln, pointed out the spot
where no buried the cement block.
Workmen dug for three hours. The
block was found and taken TO the
police station.
II was broken open with pick axes.
The heads. in a highly preserved
state, were revealed.
Before going 10 the dump Lincoln
admitted he shot both his wife and
shoup. The motive for the CHASTITY
crime. authorities said, is clouded.
Lincoln. authorities said, confessed
no decapitated his victims. put their
heads IN box and poured concrete
over them. Police have not learned
how he disposed of the bodies.
The heads were identified without
difficulty. Lincoln said he placed
them there shortly after the double
murder in January. 1923. Chief OF
Detectives Werz declared.
Werz exacted the confession from
Lincoln after hours OF questioning.
Lincoln was reluctant, Werz said.
but finally admitted shooting his
wife and Shoup.
Lincoln then told how he de-
capitated the bodies and described
the subsequent disposal OF the
heads.
The double murder. Lincoln told
werz, occurred on the evening Of
january 10. 1929, during a family
argument. In previous confessions
Lincoln said his wife had first killed
Shoup and that he killed his wife
with a poker in self.defense. He ac-
cused his wife Of infidelity and said
she had several times attempted to
poison him

Just before I left Tokyo. some Of
my Japanese friends asked mo what
dominant impression / would carry
back with me to America after
residence OF two and a half years In
Japan. In Seattle today American
have asked me the same question
This Is my answer:
There win never be a war between
Japan and the United States.
Talk of war between these coun
tries - which talk isn't heard IN
Japan any more from any even semi
responsible source--is all bosh-
There are n number OF reasons for
this. One is enough TO give. II Il
that the Japanese people absolutely
do not want such a war. There are
several reasons why they don't want
II. One is enough to give. II is that
they know they couldn't win II.
But back OF all that, there Is In
Japan n widespread and sincere feel
ing OF friendliness for the United
States. That is true. despite the
unanimous regret and dlstaste Japan
has ut the United States supreme
court decision in tho anti-alien land
law cases. The Japanese people as
a whole were profoundly grateful FOL
