SAUSAGES!!!! That's right -sausages. The following is a newspaper article from Chicago 1897:
Adolph Luetgert, Chicago's main sausage manufacturer, was a phenomenal lover, with many mistresses and a convenient bed located at his factory for occasional dalliance.
But the 250lb German immigrant's wife Louise found his infidelities intolerable.
In May, Louise's brother went to the poloce to say she had disappeared. Since Luetgert had made passionate demands that the police institute an all-out search for his missing dog some time previously, Captain Hermann Schluetter found it suspicious that he had not reported Louise's absence.
A search of the sausage factory turned up human bone fragments and Louise's wedding ring in one of the vats. Circumstantial evidence indicates that Luetgert stabbed her, boiled down the body, and put it through the sausage grinder. He has been sentenced to life inprisonment, and the citizens of Chicago are very cautious about buying sausages!
