English: A photograph from a January 11, 1903 St. Louis Republic article about the the January 4, 1903 electrocution of Topsy the elephant in an event to raise publicity about the opening of the new Coney Island amusement park "Luna Park" (at this point still under construction). The newspaper account says that Topsy refused to cross the bridge over the lagoon to the execution platform even when bribed with carrots and apples. She had to be wired up on the spot where she stood. |
