Quote
In Rome family retaliations reached an all time low. The eldest son Jean (who'd dropped the Napoleon), clashed badly with his father. The story can be pieced together from depositions taken on 25/8/1886 at the British Consulate in Rome. [38] These hearings with the Lissons, and others who knew them, resulted from the desperate (and destitute) situation that Jean had got himself into.
It appears as if Lisson snr., who had no job, was pocketing most of the money that was coming through from the Underwood Estate for the education and maintenance of his children. He had told his children that the money he had was from a mining concern, and that his mother's family were poor (according to the sons later).
On 24/7/1886 Jean Napoleon was found poisoned, with the following note addressed to one of his friends:
'Dear Friend, I am 19 years old and did never enjoy one day of happiness. I am killing myself, so that I would not kill my father. Goodbye, Jean Lison.' (Translated from the original written in Italian.)
Cries of pain had been heard by the owner of the lodging house where Jean was living, and the boy was taken to hospital in time to save his life (he'd taken tincture of iodine.). The story was reported on the front page of the Roman newspaper 'Il Messaggero'. However, the reporter had only interviewed Lisson snr, for the article, he portrayed him as wealthy, generous and humane. [39]
