Dispatch

The Viennese method of dealing with immoral publications differs somewhat from the Comstockian* method. Last week, one Otto Rostock walked into the office of Herr Hugo Bettaur, publisher of a "villainously immoral magazine." He fired directly at the publisher, who fell, wounded. Rostock announced to the police that he wished to "arouse the moral sentiment of Vienna."
