In fact Bloomer said, he had worked for Mann in the Anti-Sa- loon league campaign in 1918 and 1914. His duties, he said, consisted of preparing copy for newspapers.

 Miss Leonard charges that she was for years the companion of Mrs. Bulkley, and that the latter adopted her and promised to give her one third share in her estate. Through a conspiracy, she alleges, she was pre- vented from being with her foster- mother and the latter was unduly in- fuenced in disposing of her property so that Miss Leonard received a be- quest of only s1,000 a year.

SUSPECT LINCOLN AS CRAZED SLAYER CorOner's Physician Insists Man
 Is Really Insane

Aurora, Ill.,, Jan. 2S.-The possibil- ity that Warren J. Lincoln, eccentric lawyer -horticulturist, killed his first wife more than decade ago has en- tered his case since his seventh con- fession Saturday led to the finding of the heads of his second wife and her brother, imbedded in concrete block.
 That he might have been the slayer of huge man whose body, minus hands and with features obliterated by burning, was found near Lincoln's home, also is being investigated. A third new angle of the case, which has kept the police here busy many months, is the finding in Chicago of a young married woman who says Lin- coin was to have married her after each had obtained n divorce.
 Developments yesterday tended to strengthen the official opinion that Lincoln is insane and that establish ment of the corpus delicti through finding the heads of Mrs. Lincoln and Byron Shoup have not brought him nearer the galows, but instead have pointed the way towards a state hos pital for the criminal insane.
 Dr. Joseph Springer, chief coroner's physician of Cook county, declared positively after talking an hour with Lincoln that he should be placed in an asylum without even being sent to trial.
 Lincoln's first wife died at { o'clock in the morning after the two had re- turned home from party three hours earlier with her in apparent eS- cellent health. 1t was reported she died after taking an overdose of head ache medicine and no investigation was made.
 Lincoln at that time was postmaster at Mount Pulaski and Lima Shoup, his second wife, was his assistant.
