This is a tentative listing. At the moment, only one reference to this case has been located. The source suggests that this is a serial killer case. Until further information surfaces the case will be labeled as: “Viennese Dissection Serial Killer Couple.”
***
EXCERPT: In Vienna a man and his wife have been arraigned,
charged with the murder of an unknown number of persons for the purpose of
selling their bodies for the dissection table. The evidence is so far
incomplete, though it strongly points to the guilt of the culprits. A year or
two ago [actually 1892, the Schneider case], in the same city, it similarly
unobtrusive domestic couple were found to have been engaged in enticing to
their home servant girls in search of a place and murdering them for their
clothes and the little money they might have about them. These latter persons
were convicted and executed [incorrect; the husband was executed but the wife
was reprieved]. How it may fare with the former remains yet to be decided.
