Bristolian, does a dwarf that chopped up his wife count?

"William Spinelli, 58 year old dwarf, has confessed to the ax-murder of his wife, Rose, also 58. Police say that Spinelli, after hours of questioning,
told them he killed his wife with an ax, hacked up the body, stuffed the dismembered limbs in an ice box and later burned the remains in his back yard." [12-22-38]
from this
Bill and Rose are listed in the 1938 city directory. The same year as Rose's grisly demise.

Here's the Spinelli bungalow, looking every inch a former murder site.

note the bird with the ratty blanket hanging from it's cage.
A view into the backyard via the lot next door.

The green building with utilities is actually attached to a building on the Spinelli property, so I believe someone owns
both lots.
from above you can see how the buildings are adjoined. (kinda' spooky if you ask me)

I'll give 10 bucks to anyone willing to sneak into the backyard some night.
