Ten days ago, anys a mall paper, regining house of Hyderabad, knocked at the door of a board. Ing-house in Myddelton-square, and asked if the proprietor had a small room to let at a cheap price.
The Locked Room.
To-day he is dead, and there is a locked room in the house. In It are the total assets of this royal prince of India...
:
They consist of a few sheets of foolscap paper, many of them scribbled on, a pile of manuscript which was never printed, a book or two, a few articles of clothing, and a snapshot, which no doubt in his declining days recalled to the dead prince the glories that once were his, when he lived with his parents in the palaces of Hyderabad.
At the inquest it WAS stated that he had no relatives in this country and that he was entirely without friends. But that is not quite true.
In the eating-houses around Saffron Hill he was known. In a quarter where everybody Is In- terested in acquiring a "percent- age profits" the absolute detach- ment of the atout, ageing Indian from commercialism attracted a kindly notice of the other habitues of the eating-houses of the Ita- lian quarter.
Writings on India.
For twenty years the Prince had lived in this country, and dur ing that time he wrote many thou- sand words on India." Always he dreamed of the day, when his writings would be acclaimed as masterpieces of Indian literature:
There are in his room letters from publishers, many of them speaking highly of the work which he had submitted to them, büt few agreeing to publish it.
Earlier in life the Prince was successful in placing some of his manuscripts, but latterly the cheques which came to him were few and with ever widening in- tervals between.
He seldom spoke to anyone, but when occasionally at a table he. was drawn into a conversation he. revealed depth of knowledge that surprised his listeners.
Lean Years.
His language was Oriental and flowery. He was accustomed to apeak of India with pride as: "That glorious jewel in the crown' of the British Empire."
In his later years, when money to buy even writing paper became scarce, he would use any scraps he could find newspaper con- tents bills, the backs of postera and memorandum paper. Even the backs of accounts, some of them undischarged, were used.
At the house where the Prince spent his last ten days the pro- prietor told an Evening Standard representative that when the In- dian called he described himself simply as "Jessray Susodia," and - made no reference whatever to his rank,
"I am afraid he was completely 'down and out," he added, "al- though he never made the slight- est complaint
