Cruel Austrian Emperor Deemed Implacable Gaoler
A high Tory Press writer denounces the late Austrian Emperor as a cruel gaoler. He cites orders depriving Count Gonfalonieri’s pillow relic and delaying the countess’s knowledge of her husband’s illness, plus the denial of Silvio Pellico’s request for medical amputation and the use of a local barber-surgeon. A New York bank cashier, short of 200,000 dollars, followed advice to obtain 200,000 more then settled with directors for 140,000, resigning and living on the remainder.
