"An Apparatus By Means of Which Suicides Can Get the Better of the `Penal Code'."Hansen, Bert, 1944-1883 February 7engPuck (12:309), page 353, cover. By F. Graetz, man seated in wooden chair has connected himself to guns, cannon, knives, charcoal fire, 5000 lb. weight, poison, and dynamite. A note reads: "Dear George, I can not marry you. Carri." Text on page 2: "The luxury of suicide is forbidden under the new penal code...We regard this as rather an interference with the rights of the citizen. If a man wishes to throw his life away, he ought to be permitted to do so. Lives that are thus carelessly disposed of are rarely of much value to the world..." Hansen database #176.
