Manidest attempt at self destruction ends in comic display
A young man named Frennow near Venice attempted suicide Thursday evening after a rejected proposal. He fled to a tree and shot balls through his own coat and vest, then wrapped himself in dry goods to appear battle scarred. Witnesses pursued him, fearing a fatal act, but he proved unable to shoot himself and instead demonstrated a bizarre display while the crowd watched in amusement. The incident was reported by the Cincinnati Signal and referenced as the “SoraT AND Missen.”
