LINCOLN’S MURDER
DIABOLICALLY CLEVER. ADMITS CRIMES. (Sydney “Sun” Cable.) NEW YORK. January 27. Warren Lincoln modified his recent confession of wife-murder many times, antil he at last made a clean breast of the crime, admitting that he first shot his wife and then lulled Byron Shoup in January of last year. He burned the bodies, but says that he debated long what to do with the heads. Finally he cast a hollow concrete block and placed the heads inside, sealed it up, and gave it to the garbage man The police hurriedly searched tho city dump, and found the block, a 3 Lincoln described it, and inside wore human remains. For diabolical cleverness in concealing all evidences of the crime the police regard Lincoln’s work as one of the most remarkable on record.
