AUHOKA, 111.. Jan. 14. Warren
3. Lincoln, lawyer, horticulturist and
distant kinsman of Abraham Lin
coln, confessed last night that he
killed his wife, Lina, dismembered
her body and burned it January 10,
1923, along with that of her brother,
Byron Shoup, whom, he maintained,
had been shot to death by Mrs. Lin
coln. Lincoln disappeared from his
home April 30 last and his wife and
Shoup were accused of his murder.
The horticulturist suddenly reap
peared on June 10, claiming to have
been kidnapped by Shoup and his
wife, but only to disappear again
four months -later when whispers of
suspicion that he possibly had sluin
his wife and brother-in-law reached
him. A fortnight ago the Aurora
police told the Associated Press thnt'
they were searching for Lincoln to
question him about the disappear
ance of his wife and Shoup, and when
he applied for a position in Chicago
last Thursday, learned of his address
through the firm with which he
sought employment Arrested Sat
urday and confronted with charges
that he had done away with the
brother and sister, Lincoln confessed,
concluding with "I'm glad to get that
load off my soul."
Lincoln collapsed as he uttered the
last words of his confession and the
police left a part of his story un
related. "I suspected my wife was being un
true to me," Lincoln said after the 1
detailed confession had been made,
and he was returned to his cell.
"Many times she tried to poison me. i
I saw the man with whom she had i
been associating leave my house. :
That stnrted the final quarrel. I
"I saw fire gleam from her eyes. !
She fired three times at Byron, who -had
upbraided her for being unfalth-l
ful to me and trying to kill me. Each 1
bullet struck him in the head. He
fell, and I grabbed a poker. First I :
knocked the gun from her hand. .
Then 1 swung for her head. She fell '
dead. I cut up their bodies and '
burned them the next night."
He admitted insertion of "person
al" advertisements In newspapers,!
sgnlng them "Lina," his wife's name :
and admitted authorship of letters j
to his wife's relatives, asking and re-1
ceivlng money from them In Mrs. j
Lincoln's name and confessed sign-1
Ing Shotip's name to a check on an
Aurora bank, where Shoup had a j
large account. 1
In each instance of advertising and
letter writing, Lincoln Is said to!
have used a typewriter with a green ;
ribbon and It was through this means!
that the police were aided in fasten

Jail Breaking.
(Associated Press Leased Wire.)
OREGON CITY, Jan. 14. Clack
mas county deputy sheriffs returned
empty handed this morning from an
all-night hunt for seven prisoners
wno escaped from the county Jail
Sunday evening. Not even a foot
print of the fugitives was found.
The seven men who got away
were:
Ed Michels, arrested 24 hours
previously charged with shooting
stock and stealing a walnut tree.
Al Klause, serving a year's term
for liquor law violation.
Ernest Small, alleged bagage thief,
recently returned from San Fran
cisco tor arralgumeent and trial,
Robert Spooner, serving out a year
and $3,000 fine tor liquor law viola
tion. ' .
John Rohner, awaiting trial for
alleged violation of the liquor laws,
E. Kridbaum, awaiting trial on a
similar charge.
Albert J. Howe, held for grand
Jury Investigation on a charge ot
non-support.
Nino other prisoners were In Jail
at the time of the escape. Of these
eight refused to join the fugitives. '
The ninth, a woman, moiher-ln-law
of Ed Michels. was locked up 111
the women's quarters and couldn't
get away.
The break occurred at 8:30 Sun
day evening when the court house,
In the basement of which the Jail Is
situated, was fully vacated, and
while scores of persons were pass
ing the front of tho building.
.In n I tor 1 1 it in 1 1 1 on was oif an upper
floor of the building at the time, do
ing janitor work.
Hamilton had made his hourly
rounds of the Jail In tho basement
at X o'clock and reported nothing
wrong. The prisoners had not been
locked up for the night but were in
the Cxerclse corridor. An hour later
when deputies rnme to lock them
up for the night, the escape ha
bet n completed.
I'osaibllliy of outside aid Is seen
in the fact that the men used a 20
pound steel wrench, of the kind used
In bridge work, to effect their re
lease. With this wrench they pried
up one of the steel frame windows
on the south side of the building,
snd Ihen, with the other end of the
device, twisted In two one of the
steel bars of the window. This
gave them a chance to crawl from
tho corridor.
