Description

In 1716, Franc Jožef Vodnik, a burgher son from Krško and a travelling student, who was tried for banditry before the blood court at Šrajbarski Turn Castle near Krško together with his servant, gave descriptions of forty-three other, mostly young criminals with whom he had come into contact mainly in Vienna but also in Lower and Upper Austria. A quarter of them were students (eleven), including three who returned to the right path and became priests. A good quarter of the young men (twelve), including half of the travelling students (six), came from Slovenian territory (one from Styria and the rest from Carniola). Vodnik died of gangrene as a result of an attempted escape by jumping, and three of his accomplices from Carniola were sentenced to death the following year and executed in a group of ten criminals in the Lower Austrian town of Krems an der Donau.

      • Leta 1716 je Franc Jožef Vodnik, meščanski sin iz Krškega in potujoči študent, ki so mu pred krvnim sodiščem na gradu Šrajbarski turn pri Krškem skupaj z njegovim hlapcem sodili zaradi razbojništva, podal opise 43 drugih, v veliki večini mladih kriminalcev, s katerimi je prihajal v stik, in sicer predvsem na Dunaju ter v Spodnji in Zgornji Avstriji. Med njimi je bila četrtina študentov (11), vključno s tremi, ki so se vrnili na pravo pot in postali duhovniki. Dobra četrtina naznanjenih mladeničev (12), med katerimi naštejemo polovico potujočih študentov (6), je prihajala s slovenskega ozemlja (eden iz Štajerske, ostali iz Kranjske). Vodnik je umrl zaradi gangrene kot posledice poskusa pobega s skokom, trije njegovi pajdaši iz Kranjske pa so bili naslednje leto obsojeni na smrt in usmrčeni v skupini 10 zločincev v Kremsu v Spodnji Avstriji.
