NUMBER 1 This is a gun on top of a pair of handcuffs. It represents Antoine shooting himself rather than going to jail. “As has been previously reported, Meunier’s son, Antoine Meunier, shot himself with an antique firearm at the family property in order to avoid being taken into custody” (Foley 354).

Kind of like Antoine’s life,
