Arthur Leigh Allen & Ralph Spinelli

Leigh Allen was the major Zodiac suspect for a long long time. Ralph Spinelli was a restaurant and saloon owner in Northern California, also with one in Alaska. Ralph, with his salesman type command of the english language, was very likeable---I enjoyed listening to him speak. The saloon in Fairfield California was as he said a "gold mine". These two men had a slight altercation back in 1958 but Ralph had forgotten all about it. One night the door man told Ralph a man wanted to speak to him outside but didn't say why. Ralph went outside and Leigh reintroduced himself. Ralph didn't remember but Leigh reminded him of the 1958 incident. Incidentally the name of the saloon was the "Crazy Horse Saloon". Leigh said he could provide a service for Ralph and his friends up to and in-cluding killing someone. Ralph said "you must be absolutely crazy". Later Paul Stine was killed in San Francisco and Leigh went back to Spinelli and said "there, I told you so". Ralph said " I believe you now and now you had better get away from me". They never talked again. This story came from Graysmith's book "Zodiac". D Lathers
