Description: Harper's Weekly (21:1071), full front cover. Nast, shows Justice in New York as a female corpse on a slab in the morgue with windows allowing for public's view. The smiling crowd is labeled Tammany Ring Hall. Slab is like a table except for the faucet at the slightly higher head end. Her sword and scales are on a clothes hook on the wall, probably as a deceased's personal effects were exhibited to help identification. Page 518 editorial, "Tweed and the Attorney General" seems to be the matter referenced in the cover cartoon. Hansen database #96.
