BUDAPEST, July 2—Because the
owner of Somogy castle was seized by
a morbid desire to experience the sen
sations of a man being hanged, he lost
his life and his aged servant became
his murderer.
One day Bela Marffy, a Hungarian
junker was found dead in his study, a
rope around his neck and two heavy
weights tied to the end of the rope.
The coroner’s verdict was suicide but
the family, which knew Marffy to be
intensely fond of life, declined to ac
cept it. Their suspicions rested upon
the servant, who finally confessed that
he in fact was the murderer, though
no thought had been further removed
from his mind a few minutes previous
ly
Marffy, it developed, had read an ac
count the day before of a boy who had ,
hanged himself. Curious to know how!
a man feels just before he is about to !
expire, he arranged that his servant
was to stand near him while he tied a ■
noose, at the end of which were two j
weights, about his neck. The servant
was to lift up the weights, thereby re-1
lieving the pressure, at the moment it
seemed to him that his master was
about to expire, unless relieved.
The servant declared that while he
was awaiting this moment, his eyes
fell upon his master’s purse on the
table filled with bills of high denomi
nation. Instead of relieving Marffy
the servant allowed him to die and
then possessed himself of the money.
