FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 18, 1924 SEEK CLUE IN LINCOLU (ME FROM FURNACE (Continued From Page One) esses of a man who would do tliu things Lincoln says he has done and still remain so serene after ad mission. ‘Now I can sleep at night,” he says. And there’s a smile on his lips as he sleeps in the jail cell—lthis enigmatic, baldheaded ex-lawyer and florist of 45, who claims to be a distant cousin of Abraham Lincoln What is the meaming of his smile? Is it mere relieef of shuffling off a load of guilt and dread? Or is it the smile of his subconscious legal mind still at work, chuckling at the tangle of traditional law which may provide a defense instead of punish ment? The Lincoln case is strangely reminiscent of an astounding paral lel—the Eulo case in Chicago.

There was not. Eulo’s wife had disappeared. So had Spelling’s; brother. And Eulo was acquitted. Does Lincoln reflect in his cell - that the legal posturings in a mur» I der trial are all vain and useless I until the first and fundamental step! in a murder prosecution has been I taken? Does his legal knowledge as sure him that the corpus delicti '.will never be established? Maybe. But notwithstanding the apparent legal security of his posi tion, he himself has had little mind to smile. Assuming again the truth of his story, there is revealed a fugitive from an indwelling terror. But for. that haunting desire to tell his I secret, he might today be planting a new garden in the sunshine of some ' distant state. I Bloody Evidence.
