Summary:
In this quote it talks about how a human wanted to die so bad that he actually experimented with x-rays. Matthew wanted to die. He did not want to be on this earth any longer than he had to. After Matthew experimented with x-rays, he lost his nose, his left hand, and two fingers on his right hand, he was blind, and part of his jaw. So after he pleaded so many times to his brother, Harold, his brother shot him with a .30 caliber gun and shot his brother. Harold was tried for murder.
