“Zjutraj 11. julija 1856 je bilo osebje enega izmed velikih peterburških hotelov pri postaji moskovske železnice zelo osuplo, deloma celo vznemirjeno. Prejšnji dan je ob devetih zvečer prišel gospod s kovčkom, najel sobo, oddal za prijavo svoj potni list, naročil čaj in zrezek, dejal, naj ga zvečer ne vznemirjajo, ker je truden in bi rad spal, zjutraj pa da ga naj za gotovo zbude ob osmih, ker ima nujne opravke; nato je zaprl sobo, poropotal z nožem in vilicami, poropotal s posodo za čaj in kmalu utihnil — očitno je zaspal.”
