221 - Abbé Jean-Louis VERGER (1826–1857; he murdered Monsignor Sibour, Archbishop of Paris, on January 3, 1857; sentenced to death, he was guillotined on January 30, 1857) / Signed autograph letter, 1 p. in-8, Paris, January 3, 1856 (exactly one year before committing his crime), to a vicar: “You were so kind to me in 1855! Why would you change your attitude in ’56? I am very anxious” [This rather peculiar priest spent his life deep in debt, not even hesitating to steal; his incessant requests for charity eventually irritated the Church, which took action against him —He harbored a terrible grudge, feeling persecuted, and published pamphlets purporting to question certain dogmas, but these were merely the reactions of a depraved individual who would eventually become a murderer]
