SANTA ANA, Jan 26.—With their tiny bodies and faces a mass of bruises and showing the dire effects of weeks of undernourishment, bordering on starvation, a girl 6, and her brother, 8, today were being nourished back to health under tender care of nurses at the county hospital. Their father, Floyd E. Hatch, 45, 120 E.

OF GOOFELE IN CEMENT One of Most Remarkable Confessions Ever Made In Criminal History AURORA, Ill., Jan. 26.—Warren J. Lincoln, lawyer-horticulturist and self-styled distant relative of Abraham Lincoln, today confessed one of the most smart double killings in criminal history when he declared, according to Chief of Police Michels that he slew both his wife, Lina Shoup Lincoln, and her brother Byron Shoup and burned their bodies in a small greenhouse furnace at his small home near here and then embedded their sewered hends in a block of cement. The cement block was found where Lincoln said it would be—in a dump near his cottage—and the head taken from it. They were identified. Lincoln made another confession to the chief of police: "I molded the beads into a cement block. It's out in the dump near my house." The chief, accompanied by a dozen vagrants who had taken refuge in the jail from the cold weather, made a quick trip to the dump. They found the block with little trouble. Despite its size it was easily lifted into an auto by a policeman, who remarked that he could not have lifted it had it been solid. Lincoln added to the gruesome confession of his disposal of the two bodies by confessing anew that he, and not his wife, as he at first contended, killed Shoup, and added other intricate details, which brought the crime into the annals of the unusual. "I went to the movies that night," Chief of Police Michels said Lincoln told him after the heads had been chopped from the cement. "When I got home Byron was not in his bed on the sleeping porch and I knew he was in my wife's room. I couldn't stand it any longer. I shot Byron thru the head." Then I ran to the greenhouse and got my rifle. Lina was crouched on the floor crying when I got back to the house. I shot her, too. Lincoln was nervous and pale, the chief said, as he ran thru the strange narrative. He kissed his son John before he started his last confession and asked Chief Michels to care for him.
