| 説明 | Map of 1930s Cleveland, Ohio, showing the locations where the tenth and eleventh victims of the Cleveland Torso Murderer were found.Each red dot indicates the number in which the victim was killed (not the order in which they were found). Sometimes, victims were found in more than one spot, so "A", "B", and "C" are used to indicate the order.* * * * * * *The Tenth and Eleventh VictimsOn the afternoon of August 16, 1938, James Dawson, James McShack, and Edward Smith were scrounging in the E. 9th Street Dump on the shores of Lake Erie for scrap metal. The three African Americans had collected quite a pile, and Dawson went to go get his truck. As he walked across the dump toward his vehicle, he saw a coat sticking out of a neat pile of rocks. He began pulling the rocks away, and a putrid smell came out. He called for his friends. They found human bones.The police uncovered the remains of a woman's torso wrapped in heavy brown butcher paper. Around the paper was wrapped a tattered man's striped summer jacket, and then a homemade patchwork quilt. Nearby in a another pile of rocks were the thighs, bound together with a rubber hand and wrapped in butcher paper. The decomposed head was also found neatly wrapped in paper. In a box nearby were the lower legs and arms. The box was odd, having been fashioned from two different cardboard boxes into a single unit.The victim was 30-40 years old. She'd died four to six months earlier, and there were indications the corpse had been frozen at some point. It wasn't clear if the internal organs had rotted away or been removed. Once more, however, hesitation cuts were very prominent.The discovery of the corpse drew hundreds of onlookers. At 7 PM, 39-year-old Tod Bartholomew; his wife, Cecelia; and their friend, Jennie Talas, were standing near the edge of the dump watching the search. They became aware of a foul odor coming from a pipe, and saw human bones inside it.Police retrieved the pelvis, ribs, and vertebra of a human male. Nearby, they found the head in a tin can.This victim was also 30-40 years old. He'd been dead seven to nine months, and there were clear signs that the head had been hacked from the neck and the spine struck at with a heavy knife.The man had been killed probably in late 1937, and the woman in early 1938. This meant both had died before the dismembered woman found in the river.The woman was the eleventh victim killed, and the eleventh body found. The man was the tenth victim killed, but the twelfth victim found. |
