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.
Michael Eulo, self-confessed slayer
of Samuel Sperling, got off scot
free, although he says he shot Sper
ling -because of attentions to h»s
wife. Furthermore, there were wit
nesses who swore they saw Eulo kill
Sperling.
But suddenly in the legal pro
ceedings there was an objection by
the defense and a ruling from the
court. The state had not shown
that the man mentioned in the in
dictment had been killed. Was there
one present who could say of his
perfect and personal knowledge that
the dead man was Sperling and;

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

Over-elaborate plans to build upl
his alibi made him suspected.
He got out of sight, first making
