Victim: He was born in Prague on Sept. 14, 1886, the son of Tomas Masaryk, founder of Czechoslovakia's Golden Republic and patron saint of Czech nationalism.
After Tomas Masaryk's death in 1937 and the subsequent Nazi takeover of Czechoslovakia, freedom-loving Czechs transferred their affections and yearnings for independence to Jan. He answered their call from England, where he was a member of the Czech democratic government in exile.
Masaryk, a friend of Drtina, characterized the action as "a servant girl's way to die." Masaryk's comment proved highly significant, because two weeks later--at 6:25 A.M. on Mar. 10--his own body was found sprawled in the courtyard of the Czerin Palace, the apparent result of a suicide jump from a third-story bathroom window.
