See Image:Science and Invention Jan 1922 pg794.png A popular politician, Marie Denbaule, is murdered on a sabotaged amusement park ride. The story goes into great technical detail on how the ride was sped up shake Marie to death. The culprits are finally caught and more that a few fish die of mercury poisoning.
