Lincoln Denies
Any Murder

Geneva, ILL.,, Feb. Warren Lin
coin, the lawyer-florist of Aurora,
took the witness stand recently in
the trial for the murder of his wife,
Lima, and her brother, Byron Shoup,
and denied the confession he once
made that he killed the two January
10, 1923, and burned their bodies
in the furnace except for the heads,
which he cut off and sealed in ce-
:nent.
The block containing the heads
was found January &c, 1924, at city
Gump in Aurora, after Lincoln had
directed the search for the crypt.
An astounded jury and court room
listened to Lincoln's denial "that he
had ever killed anyone at any time
or any place."

Tax COnsultant

There are two separate and dis
| tinct kinds Of tax. the normal tax
and the "surtax." Certain items Of
income are subject to the surtax
only and certain exemptions from
normal taxes arc allowed. The sur
tax is computed upon the total net
income without any deduction fol
credits or exemptions, and for the
purpose of computing the normal
tax only, there is allowed the fol-
lowing credits:
1. Dividends received from do
mestic corporations, as these are
subject to the surtax only;
2. :. Dividends received from for
eign corporations deriving more than
so per cent of their gross income
from sources within the United
States:
3. Any amount Of interest upon
obligations of the United States
which is included in gross income.
AS previously explained all interest
upon obligations Of the United States
is free from the normal tax. but if
amounts in excess of exemptions al
lowed by law are held the interest
upon such excess becomes subject
to the, surtax, and must be included
in gross income:>.
4. In the case of income received
from a partnership or fiduciary, the
taxpayer is entitled to the credits
stated in subdivisions 1, and 3
above, to the extent of his proper
tionate share of such dividends or
interest received by the partnership
or fiduciary;
5. $1,000 in case Of single per-
son, or $250O in case of the head of
a family or married person living
with husband or wife. If married
persons file separate returns the per-
sonal exemption of $25o0 may be di-
vided in any proportion desired;
I 6. $40O for each dependent (other
than husband or wife) under 18
years of age, or Incapable of self
support because mentally or physi-
cally defective. The credit for de-
pendents is determined by the status
of the taxpayer on the last day Of his
taxable year.
Where the status Of taxpayer
changes from that of single person
to a married person or the head of
family, or vice versa, during the
taxable year, the, personal exemp-
tiOn allowed is the sum Of (a) an
amount which bears the same ratio
to $1,000 as the number Of months
during which he was single bears to
IL months, plus (b) an amount which
bears the same ratio tn $25OO as the
number of months during which he
was married or the head Of fam
lily bears to IL months. A fractional
part of month is disregarded. ex-
cept where it amounts, to more than
half month, in which case it is
considered one month.
Thus single man who marrles on
June 20 would be entitled to per-
sonal exemption of 6-12 or $1,000 or
$500, plus 6-12 of $250O or $3.50. a
total of $3.50.
The personal exemption and credit
for dependents in the case of an in
who dies during the taxable
Year are determined by his status at
tho time of his death: the surviving
spouse, II any, also is entitled TO the
full credits according to his or her
status at the close Of the taxable
pear.

COLLINS FIANCEE
LONELY WATCHER
FROM HILL TOP

Louisville, KY, Feb. 6.-(By the A..
PA solitary figure stood in the
glow of hilltop camp fire silently
watching the shaft being sunk inch
by inch to Floyd Collins. The light
reflection revealed, "two streams of
tears on the watchers face but they
were never brushed away" says a
copyright story to the Courier-Jour-
nal from Cave City today.
"This silent observer was Alma
Clark, 90, living eight miles from
Cave City, come to mourn on what
was to have been her wedding day
and for him who was to have been
her husband. Alone she stood as
scores of workmen exerted them
selves to force way through rock
and earth into the cavern.
"Around her many were talking,
calling to one another and some
were laughing. They didn't know,
they didn't even see this figure, nor
did She seem to see them. She held
her eyes on the new made shaft. She
turned, finally, and in moment was
lost in the darkness"
"Her tears, her expression and her
walk told plainly that her hopes were
no more. that she feels the cave
which Floyd Collins set out to ex-
plore will not release its grip until
he dies.
"Floyd Collins and Miss Alma
Clark were to have eloped today but
only a few of their friends knew
their secret. 1t was said that OBJ
jections to the marriage had been
made and that. the elopement was
planned as means of overcoming it,
and this may be why Floyd Collins
wouldn't give up his fight for life.
1t may explain why Collins kept
courage when rescuers and friends
were downcast. 1t may reveal how
Collins endured torture with a smile
at times through six days in the
grip of stone in the cave and it
may show the power that kept alive
that spark Of faith he cherished"

WORKERS PUSH SINKING OF SHAFT
in HOPE OF REACHING COLLINS IN
KENTUCKY CAVE; MAY HAVE DIED
Probably Succumbs to Suffo-
cation. Is Crushed TO Death
or Has Died of Pneumonia,
But Workers Continue to
Sink Shaft From Above in
an Effort to. Reach En-
tOmbed Man

Cave City, KY, Feb. 6.-All hope
OF reaching him through the natural
passage gone. workers were making
new entrance to Sand Cave in an
attempt to reach Floyd Collins, en-
tombed since last Friday morning.
A long day of digging was ahead
of them and whether Collins was
dead or alive none has known def
initeiy. since cavein Wednesday
night blocked the passage in which
he has been lying, pinioned by one
foot, for one week.
The general belief was that he has
succumbed, by being crushed to
death or by suffocation. or by pneu-
monia.
Radio Used
Early today, however, radio was
resorted to in hope the cave could
give up its secret A two stage
audio frequency amplifier was con-
nected in the lighting circuit lead
ing into the cave and known to be
intact. The lights were turned off
and with headsets clamped to their
ears. the experimenters listened for
any sign that might be interpreted
as coming from Collins. After the
test men said they heard distinct
sounds, believed by them to have
been caused by the jarring of the
carbon filaments in the electric light
bulb fastened about Collins neck.
1t was thought, that if alive, Col
Inns had probably moved when the
light went out, thus shaking the
filaments. On the other hand, it
was pointed out that other noises
might have caused the sound heard
in the head sets. Thus, nothing
definite was determined.
The work on the new shaft was
begun yesterday and early today a
hole 10 feet deep had been made.
The work was slowed up by the nee
essity of timbering the shaft, as it
deepened. 1t has been estimated
that Collins is lying IS feet below
the surface. Estimates as to the
time it will take to sink the shaft,
vary from "a to 72 hours.
Light Burns
That the .elsdtric light bulb
placed around Collins neck We'd
nesday is still burning is taken as
an indication that the cave-in had
not reached the prisoners head.
Any strong pressure would crush
the globe and thus break the circuit,
it was pointed out.
Biologists today expressed the
{hot rol1;,,, l.,
large boulders which are believed
to be lying against each other,
forming the protective arch.
