That he could see colours in total darkness is a proof of his inconsistent fables, or of his 'hyperæsthesia' abnormal acuteness of the senses. 'The man' who kept him was not less hyperæsthetic, for he taught Kaspar to write in the dark.
Kaspar, on his deathbed, kept muttering incoherences about 'what is written with lead, no one can read. The note contained vague phrases about coming from the Bavarian frontier. After Kaspar's death, the question of 'murder or suicide? agitated Germany, and gave birth to a long succession of pamphlets. Other pamphlets came out, directed against the House of Baden.
Whatever you recommend to put to flight the avenging shade of Kaspar Evig, I will do it." Hirsch's question made me thoughtful. We walked together, with heads bowed down in thought, in deep silence. He watched me, I could see, out of the corner of his eye, whilst I was endeavouring to collect my thoughts upon this delicate question, but at last I made answer
His eye-sight, when he first appeared, seems to have been normal, at the prison he wrote his own name as 'Kaspar Hauser, and covered a sheet of paper with writing. Later he could see best in the dark. So says Feuerbach, in 1832. What he does not say is whence he got his information as to Kaspar's earliest exploits.
The one thing certain is that Kaspar had the sensitive or 'mediumistic' temperament, which usually though not always is accompanied by hysteria, while hysteria means cunning and fraud, whether conscious or not so conscious. Meanwhile the boy was in the hands of men credulous, curious, and, in the case of Daumer, capable of odd sensations induced by suggestion.
In his new homes Kaspar lied terribly, was angry when detected, and wounded himself he said accidentally with a pistol, after being reproached for shirking the Commentaries of Julius Cæsar, and for mendacity. He was very vain, very agreeable as long as no one found fault with him, very lazy, and very sentimental.
On their return, Kaspar said, 'Went Court Garden Man had a knife gave a bag struck I ran as I could bag must lie there. Kaspar was found to have a narrow wound, 'two inches and a half under the centre of the left breast, clearly caused by a very sharp double-edged weapon. In three or four days he died, the heart had been injured.
The burgomaster issued a notice to the inhabitants that in future they would not be allowed to see Kaspar Hauser at all hours of the day, and that the police had orders to interfere if the curiosity of visitors led them to annoy Dr. Daumer and his household. He entered Dr.
March, with a scheme for a paper which Burnamy wished to write on Kaspar Hauser, if March thought he could use it in 'Every Other Week'. He had come upon a book about that hapless foundling in Nuremberg, and after looking up all his traces there he had gone on to Ansbach, where Kaspar Hauser met his death so pathetically.
We find Mariolatry already imminent, the names of the three kings, Kaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, the four evangelists as we now recognise them, and many of the rites and vestments which Ritualists of all denominations regard with superstitious reverence. There are two sepulchral monuments in Ravenna which cannot be passed over unnoticed.
