PRIVATE MEMORANDA.
"It was shown how he spoke with Stjerncrona, of the
’
trabants,’* who would not fall in so readily with his idea
of killing me. Sometime before that he had applied to Reuter
crona, whose sphere was known to me, as of one who desired
strongly to kill me.
"He was convicted by several proofs that in administering
the estate of one deceased [probably Bishop Swedberg’s estate,
see Document 126], he acted wrongly, according to friendships
and bribes, without conscience.
"By some proofs [he was convicted] in the affair about the
young woman, whom he did away with ; together with the
way in which he cast her off (solt). . .
"The arrangement by which in former times he desired to
run me down on the ice.
"He entertained thoughts of killing me, as long as I con
tinued holding half of Starbo.68
"He was convicted of desiring to instigate Brita Behm50
to begin a law-suit about the division of Axmar [see Docu
ment 32].
"The hatred he entertained was shown by a soup of vipers
he administered to me in my sleep ; he appearing all black.
Afterwards [he was seen] with a pointed knife at his side.
[1.] "He spoke with Stök and Fahlfors, that they should
lead me to the other side of the lake, and do away with me,
but in vain. 2. With Daniel about the same thing, but in
vain. 3. With another in the village of Starbo, that he should
take me out into the woods. 4. He had made a plan, and
wished to strike a knife into my chest. 5. He dressed him
self in the garments of a farm servant, and looked out for
me himself. 6. He conversed, and had an interview in his
residence with the person who was sent down for the purpose
of killing me. 7. He put spiders into the meat, and thus
caused me to vomit bile.
* Probably Pehr Stjerncrona (born 1699, died 1778), who was in the
corps of the Royal body-trabants (Lifdrabanterna) from 1722 to 1746.
