BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 10.-ChrIs
G. Hupfel. son of John c. G.. Hupfel,
millionaire brewer, was reported to
be recovering today from two head
wounds inflicted by woman who
shot him down last night at Lexing-
ton avenue and Forty fifth street.
Mrs Kossara, Spanaljowitch, whom
police identified as a sister OF DR.
Milsoff, Serbian Anba ssado- to
France, and who was arrested at the
scene Of the shooting, was being held
She denied the allegations of wit
nesses to the shooting that she had
fired the shots and Hupfel told police
at the hospital that he could not
identify his assailant.
Threats Are Recalled.
He recalled. however. according to
police, that threats had been made
against him by the woman in letters
which were entered in evidence in a
legal action brought against him by
her in 1923.
The names of the two were first
linked in 1918, when Mrs. Spanal-
jowitch accused the brewers son Of
attempting to have her confined as
insane because, she said, she refused
to marry him. Five years later she

malicious mischief, but the case was
dismissed by the court.
Mrs. Spanaljowitch testified in this
action that during the war. Hupfel
had repeatedly urged her to seek en-
ployment as servant In embassies
abroad and in Washington for the
purpose of performing spy duty for
Germany. She also said he had tried
to persuade her to Swing" her broth
er over to the German cause.

killed Shoup.-
Agrees to Tell the Truth.
Finally he agreed to tell what he
termed the truth about the slayings
and said that he had killed both his
wife and her brother because he be-
lieved her TO be untrue to him. He
said he had burned their bodies in
his greenhouse furnace after severing
the heads and casting them in a
block of conceete which he used for
a time as a porch supporter and
which was finally taken to an Aurora
dump.
His new confession was substan-
tiated when the blocks found were
cut open and the heads, wrapped in
burlap, were found.
After several months delay, Lincoln
was brought before a jury and tried
AS to his sanity, the jury holding that
he was sane when the crime was
committed, which under the laws of
Illinois is necessary to sustain a
murder charge.

LINCOLN TO SPEND
HIS LIFE in PRISON
LaWyer-FIorist, Who Slew
Wife and Her Brother, to

GENEVA, ILL.,, February 10.-War-
rem ]. Lincoln. lawyer-f1orist, was
sentenced to life Imprisonment last
night by a jury, which found Him
guilty of the murder of his wife Lima,
whom he confessed he killed, with
Byron Shoup, her brother, burned the
bodies and sealed, the heads in a con-
crete block. -
Lincolns attorneys accepted the
verdict.
Lincoln RENAME calm when the
verdict was announced and comfort
cd his son John, who burst into tears.
The State did not indicate whether
It expected to try Lincoln for the
staying of Shoup, and officers pre-
pared for his transfer to the peni-
tentiary at Satesville today.
LincoIn's Scheme Fails.
Warren j. Lincoln disappeared on
January 10, 1923, leaving behind a
stage set to leave the impression that
he had been slain.
Authorities investigating the slay-
ing found the bedroom of the Lin
Icoln home spattered with blood, and
from a well they took blood soaked
articles of clothing. In his green
house a blood -spattered Indian club
was found.
The fact that Lincoln's wife Lima
and her brother, Byron Shoup, also
were missing, led the authorities TO
the theory that the brother and sis
ter might have slain Lincoln for some
unknown reason and fed. For weeks S
an unavailing search for the couple
was carried on.
A few months after his disappear
ance, however, Lincoln reappeared
and told OF having been kidnapped by
his wife and her brother. who, he
maintained, were engaged in illegal
pursuits. He said he did not know
their whereabouts. Suit for divorce
was filed by Lincoln against his wife,
and shortly thereafter he again dis
appeared for a time, going, it later
developed, to Detroit and several
other cities.
Adopts Ruse to Obtain Money.
In the meantime relatives of Mrs
Lincoln and her brother received let
ters purporting to have been written
by her and asking them to send
money to her at Evanston, Ill. This
they did, although it later developed
the letters were written by Lincoln
This, he said, was done to confuse
his wife's relatives.
Finally he went to Chicago and
about a year from the time he first
vanished was arrested there by the
authorities, who were not satisfied
with his story.
Lincoln then made a series of con-
,fessions. first declaring that his wife
had shot her brother and then COM
uitted suicide Later he made another
confession that he had slain both his
wife and her brother in self-defense
and still later said that he killed his

Washington Council of So
cial Agencies to Work With
U. S. Employment Service.

One OF the duties of Government Is
to provide a medium for bringing en-
ployer and employe together, and in
times of stress to provide employ
ment for its citizens. Francis J. Jones.
director general OF the United States
Employment Service, told the Wash
ington Council of Social Agencies
yesterday afternoon at the Raleigh
Hotel. Mr.. Jones reviewed in detail
the work done by the employment
service, making frequent reference to
the cooperation which has existed
between social agencies and the serv
ice. His address resulted in passage
of a resolution by the council en-
towering the President to appoint
committee to exchange views and to
cooperate with the United States
Employment Service. The motion was
offered by Rev. John O'Grady, director
of Catholic Charities.
Twelve States were added to the
2S already cooperating in employ
ment work with the United States
Employment Service during the past
year, making a total of 40 now work.

Jones explained, adding that the en-
ployment service was first started in
Ohio. as a result of visits by public
spirited citizens who watched the
progress of government employment
agencies in Europe.

The speaker declared he objected to
the use of the term free employ

the service, amplifying that the tax
payers pay for the service rendered.

he said. should be considered by
adjunct
1t should be brought up to the level
of the public schools in its element
of permanency. Some persons favor
a national system. I favor a State
system, believing that the Govern
ment is now encroaching too far on
some State rights" ..
Mr.. Jones told the council that
1,soS.9so persons were placed in en-
ployment last year, of whom 404,1
were harvest workers OF the har-
vest workers placed in jobs. 16,411
retained their places permanently on

though we do not make any attempt
to set a wage scale, simply acting
as the agency which furnishes en-
ployment."
Tells of Junior Service.
Reviewing the work of the Junior
division. which trains boys and girls
for work for which they are fitted,
Mr.. Jones said he was sorry Wash
ington cannot have Junior service,
because Congress- does not give us
money enough. Our service is not
what it should be in Washington.
We should have scouts out looking
for opportunities to connect the man
with the job, but cannot do so be-
cause we do not have the money"

DR.. O'Grady said he had been an
employe of the United States EN-
ployment Service during the war, and
declared that 1T was not an efficient
service. He added that conditions in
the District of Columbia are fairly
stable, but that there is a great need
for definite cooperation between en-
ployment agencies and social agen-
cies. The employment service must
develop confidence in the minds of
employers" he said, and must have
the greater interest OF social work

O'Grady had said We're mott accurate
The director general said he was
opposed to all employment services
for which a fee to get a job is
charged, adding that nothing goes
so far to help general welfare as a

he said, is only $500.
