LINCOLN, CONFESSED
WIFE SLAYER, DENIES
KILLING OF BROTHER

AURORA, ILL.,, Jan. 14.-Wa1ren
J. Lincoln, eccentric attorney and
horticulturist and distant kinsman
OF Abraham Lincoln, who last night
confessed that he killed his wife
and burned her body with tina: OF
Byron Shoup, her brother. was cross
examined today in the belief that
he also killed Shoup.
Although Lincoln insisted his wife
killed Shoup, police said they be.
lieved he had murdered them both.
Lincoln was returned here from
Chicago, where he had been employ
ed under an assumed name since
last October. 1t was the second time
the man had disappeared from
Aurora since he killed his vile on
January 10, 1928.
Left Murder evidence"
When Lincoln vanished last April,
ne left "evidence" behind which in
dicated he had been murdered. Blood
stains, a broken window, an Indian
club and disarranged furniture led
police to believe the man had been
slain and his body seCreted. His
wife and brother-in-law, whom he
said had run away" were suspected
OF the crime.
Lincoln showed up two months
later, however, and gave police a
story of his wanderings. He accused
his wife and Shoup of abducting him
and holding him prisoner. The story,
police said, seemed doubtful, and
this was the first time they suspect
ed him of the double murder. They
had no evidence and were not even
certain that Lincoln's wife ana her
brother were dead. From this polhr
on. however, police said Lincoln
walked directly into the trap LAID
for him which finally resulted in his
confession.
The whole affair was caused by
the discovery that Mrs. Lincoln was
"cheating," Lincoln stated and her
subsequent efforts to poison him.
"I found my wife was cheating
with a man who drove a roadster"
Lincoln's confession stated in part.
"Shoup and myself found them in
the house one day and he fled as we
came in. Then she tried to poison
me- My coffee tasted strong"
Poison in Coffee
On the night of the tragedy,
Lincoln said he found poison in his
coffee and called Shoup's attention
to it.
1--WE all got quarreling," he said.
Lima flew into fit of anger and
ran into the bedroom. There was a
loaded revolver under the mattress.
When she came out she had it III
ner hand. Her eyes were blazing.
She fired three times at Byron
(Shoup). Every Shot struck him in
the head. Byron dropped over. l
jumped up and grabbed a poker and
then grabbing her gun, struck her
a blow with the poker just over the
left ear. She laid still. I was
thunderstricken for knew she was
dead.
81 took Byron into the bedroom
and sawed off his arms and legs
with a hack saw. Then l took the
body out to the green house and
burned it in the big boiler, Then [
went back into the house and took
my wife's body to the bedroom and
also dlsmembered it and took it to
the greenhouse and burned it,

NEGROES RETURNING SOUTH
AS FAST AS THEY CAN GET
MONEY TO PAY THEIR WAY

painting the picture OF land flow
ing with milk and honey right here
on earth without the, necessity OF
waiting for the hereafter 1t Is esti-
mated that the poor deluded negroes
of the south have sunk in the aggre-
gate millions of hard earned dollars
in the various schemes to transport
them to Liberia. to other parts OF
Africa and to some golden tropic
island in the neVer-neVer land. Ere
quently the day of departure has
been set by the fraudulent promot.
ers and thousands Of negroes, hav-
ing given up homes and jobs and
money have been left waiting at
the depot.
Flee from Cold
The recent cold waves in the north
and west have driven the recently
migrated negroes home in large
numbers. Many of these who went
out of Georgia and Alabama were
taken to Chicago. That was to be
their promised land. But when the
Chicago mercury ten days ago went
sliding down to sixteen degrees below
zero, the promised land became one
OF suffering and misery to the ne
groes who at home had always
thought OF a temperature Of forty
degrees above as "sAo huff" cold
wave.
The return OF the negro is viewed
with a great deal Of satisfaction ty
the white people here in the south
east. They say now that they
knew the colored people would come
back in time, aid they assert anew
that, generally speaking, the exodus
was not started by any bad treat
ment of the darkey.
Georgia Hit Hardest
They say the movement was 90
per cent economic. Florida felt the
exodus the least, perhaps of any of
the southern states, for there was
no upset in any particular line of
industry here. Georgia was hit
hardest OF all probably because the
boil weevil wrought his ravages in
the cotton crop there, and the ne
groes, easily discouraged readily lis
tened to the agents of the northern
industry, and went away. They are
anxious now to return home, and
those already arrived say the others
are coming as soon as they can get
the money.
In the end the migratory move
ment will not have been without its
blessing on both sides. The ignorant
colored farm hand of the south VIII
have learned there is comparatively
little he can do in the north in COM
petition with white labor, and the
white people of the south in the JOY
Of getting their natural helpers back,
will do much more to make their lot
a contented one. The northern
agents seem to have disappeared
and !. great feeling of peace per-
vades the older section Of the south
land.

Promised Land of Labor
Agent Proves Cold, Hard
Land of Competition and
Sunny Cotton Fields
BeCkon
BY ROBERT r. SMALL
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright 1924

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. ID
The negro exodus from the south
has been stayed and a great return
movement has begun. There no long
er can be any doubt of this. You
hear it from the railroad officials and
trainmen, and you see it for your
self on a days journey through the
southland.
The backward flow OF the negro
has not the impetus that at one
time was attained by the outgo. 1t
is not the result of an exhortation
nor has it any financial backing.
The negroes are coming back singly
or in groups Of two and three. Occa-
sionally one encounters Roose-
veltian family group. A frail color
ed woman boarded the southbound
train at Washington. With her were
seven children, the oldest one ap-
pearing to be about ten years of
age. With the husband and father,
this family, too, had heard the call
of the north. 1t had migrated to
Philadelphia, but a family Of nine
on a, Virginia farm and a family of
nine in the crowded colored quarter
of Philadelphia are two entirely diff
ferent propositions. The mother and
children have come home. That was
all the money they had. The father
must work little longer in the
north until he also can return to
the farm.
Promised Land Mirage
The backward influx of the negro
is being regulated entirely by his or
her ability to pay the expense of
getting home. There was no such diff
fic1lty encountered in leaving the
south. The countryside was filled
with industrial agents drumming up
the emigrants, offering them wages
they had never heard Of before and
presenting them with railroad tick
cts to the new promised land.
That has always been one of the
most pitiful sides of all the negro
migratory movements Of the past,
this constant searching for the
promised land" In some way the
negroes associate it with the camp
meeting and revival songs that they
sing. They begin to believe there
IS a land that is fairer than this,
and then along comes some colonizer

tunes are in the form of ready cash.
1t has been said by associates Of
John d. Rockefeller, reputed at the
height of his career to be the rich
est man in the world, that on many
occasions he had merely a few thou
sand dollars of idle cash, yet he was
rated a millionaire. The British
fortunes similarly are in the form
not of cash, but Of mines, forests,
railways, steamships, stores and va
rious other enterprises.
Therefore, to meet the capital
levy, it is claimed that the possess
ors of the great fortunes would have
either to sell property or turn over
their businesses to the government
to the extent of one-seVenth of their
ownership. AS everyone would be
trying to sell at once, no one could
sell anything very successfully.
Everybody in the country wealthy
enough tol be the object of the cap
ital levy would be trying to sell at
once. Those not subject to the tax
would be too poor to buy. Values
and credit would come down, caus-
ing panic not only in England, but
to a greater or less degree in all
countries having business relations
with England. American holders OF
securities in British enterprises
would see the value OF their stocks
cut in two overnight.
If one-seventh Of all the property
were turned over to the govern
ment in the form of tangible posses
sions, government ownership on a
tremendous scale would result
Houses, cattle, automobiles, stores,
stocks of merchandise, mines, farms,
stocks and bonds would be turned
over to the government.
There are more arguments on
both sides, but those briefly sletched
are the principal ones, and from
them Americans can see that, which
ever side is right, the imposition Of
a capital levy in Great Britain would
have a marked effect on American
business affairs.
