SEEKS DEATH IN
VARIOUS FORMS
BAvARIAN TRIES HANGING,
KNIFE AND POISON
FAILED TO RECONCILE TWO RE-
LIGlous DOCTRINES
Was Student of Philosophers NIetsche
Kant, SchIegeI, Schopenhauer and
Luther, Which Wouldn't
Dovetai

Driven temporarily insane by his in
ability to reconcile the philosophy of
r,ietsche with the doctrine of Martin
Luther, Rudolph Senske of 339 Iona
drive made four unsuccessful attempts
to commit suicide yesterday morning.
Nothing but Senske's powerful
physique saved him from death. After
taking a dose of rat poison he lay
down to die. Dissatisfied with the
slowness of this method he produced
a strap and hanged himself to rafter.
The strap broke, buckle on the end
striking him in the eye and inffict-
ing serious wound.
Then he slashed his left wrist with
razor but failed to reach an artery.
His final attempt very nearly proved
successful. Drawing the razor across
his throat he fell to the floor uncon-
scious, only to be revived later by DR..
Bonynge at the receiving hospital,
where he was taken.
An hour later he was able to relate
his experience and give his reasons for
the attempts at suicide.
Raised in Bavaria
AS boy he was brought up in a
small Bavarian village, attended the
local gymnasiums and, accepting the
IelBlouS DelleIS OF MS parents, pecaIne
a firm adherent OF the system of re-
ligion promulgated by Luther.
AS he grew older he became deeply
engrossed in the study of the philoso-
ply of Schlegel and Kant, and from
these he extended his studies to Arthur
Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietsche.
Il would spend the whole night
rea ing Nietsche,' he said. 1T was
fascinated. absorbed by his teachings.
Then, when 1 had ceased reading and
stopped to mediate on what / had
read, a vision of my fathers house in
the little Bavarian town would come
to me, and with it the memory of my
early religious training given me by
my parents. And then l would try
to fit the philosophy of Nietsche to
the doctrines of Luther. But it can't
be DONE" he said sadly, sit can't be
DONE"
He later was removed to the county
hospital, where 1t is said he will re-
