Note 1 — Chapter XL · The King’s Last Hours at Neuschwanstein
Ethel Harriet Hearn translation
When, after the King’s death, Weber proved to be in possession of his diamond clasp, it was thought at first that he had come by it dishonestly. The writing, however, by which he had engaged himself not to give it up except on payment of 25,000 marks convinced the authorities that they had been mistaken. As the diamonds constituted a part of the Crown jewels, Weber had, nevertheless, to return them. As far as is known he received a small sum of money in return for them, as it was desired that the King’s last gift should be respected. ↑
