His pay ultimately rose to es a week, but the greater part of it was pledged in paying off the debts he had been forced to incur earlier in order to keep his wife and family.
 He confessed in court how one day when he had nothing to give his four children to eat he forged an entry fin a savings bank book, and once having given way to temptation. repeated this tin he had embedded e2o always hoping that relatives would help him to repay.
 The acquittal for which there were no grounds but sentiment, is somewhat severely criticized in the Vienna press. forms a dangerous precedent. there be- ing so many impecunious members of the nobility in the public service, and that this particular Baron had brought his poverty on himself by his improvt- dent marriage.
