Thief Hanged    (April Fool's Day - 1912)

The Dutch magazine Het Leven published a photo which it claimed showed a French car thief who had been hanged from the cross on top of the spire of a church in the town of Brummen. In reality, the hanging figure was a doll. [Source: Memory of the Netherlands]
