Description
'Woman places corpse of husband in closet. Linah B-,64, said her husband died In October 31 in either 1977 or 1978 and she Put him in a closet because she Couldn't pay for a proper burial...'

Might've been a good case For Perry Mason if foul play Had been suspected, but The authorities got to the bottom Of the matter when they

Got the call from the workmen Painting the house. Seems there was a little more than Plaster-of-Paris on a closet floor Than the woman let on.

One might wonder at the woman's stead To bear the dead crime, 'No, J- is not home today, ' No one the wiser what lay In the closet's keep.

It'll probably be the 'in' thing now- Home Burial. Little women will squirrel Their loved ones away- Where the dead never leave the house.
