Anecdote |
17 Apr 1890 [4] |
- The evening edition of the Neue Freie Presse of April 17, 1890 included a short mention of Eugen's suicide. The paper stated, "Yesterday evening the 25 year-old jurist, Eugen Rafael, shot himself in the Prater [a large public park in Vienna's 2nd district, Leopoldstadt] next to the warehouse. The world-weary man was a law student and employed as a stenographer in the law office of W. Zucker on Strauchgasse. He lived with his brother at Herminengasse 6 in the second district. He was known as a decent, well-situated man. Yesterday at 5 he left the office as usual, wrote letters, and said that he was going to his married sister in Fünfhaus. It was only late in the evening that the family members of the young man learned of the suicide, whose motives are entirely unknown. Outside of office hours Rafael had recently been preparing for the oral examinations."
