Evelyn was arrested for Murder after local children in Hamilton, Ontario found the Torso of her missing estranged husband. The head and limbs had been sawed from his body and evidence that they had been burned in the furnace of her home later surfaced. A well known school yard song at the time went as follows: You cut off his legs... You cut off his arms... You cut off his head... How could you Mrs Dick? How could you Mrs Dick? First convicted of the murder in 1946 and sentenced to hang, lawyer J.J. Robinette appealed her case, and won an eventual acquittal. However, in the meantime, decayed remains of Evelyn's baby boy were found encased in cement under the floor boards of her home. She was tried again for murder in 1947 and was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Evelyn was released from prison in 1958 and quickly disappeared from public. |
