COUNT H. O’DONNEL’S SUICIDE
LAST OF NOTED FAMILY. BUDAPEST, May 13. County Henry O’Donnel, aged 24, was found shot at Veresegyhaza, HunS£ary, last evening. He left two farewell letters saying that he had killed himself owing to an unrequited passion for a young Hungarian woman. Her name is with-held by the police. He was the last of the Hungarian O Donnels, the family records of which began in the fourth century. After having been, as Earls of Tyrconnel, leaders of resistance to England they came to Hungary on the triumph of the British arms. Here they were always high in the service of the Austrian Emperors. The late Count’s grandfather saved the life of the Emperor Francis Joseph when a man named Libenyi stabbed him in 1853 on a Vienna bastion. 1
