criminal processes, Slovenia, 19th centuryAbstract
On the basis of a detailed description of the judicial inquest into the murder of Jedrt Murn, the innkeeper from Trnava (a town situated by the main trade route Vienna-Trieste), which occurred on the night of July 5, 1840, the author deals with the phenomenon of making foreigners the scapegoat. Although the inquest provided almost conclusive evidence that Jedrt Murn was murdered by her husband Franc, suspicion fell on Italian bricklayers working at that time on the construction of a textile factory in the nearby town of Prebold. The suspicious community, whose fate it was to till the fields, wasted no time in branding these workers as vagrants and rogues, and by seeking in this way, also found scapegoats among them on which they vented their anger at every unpleasant occurrence.
