"Felix Landis (son of Hans, beheaded at Zürich, 1614) was a pious member of the church of Horgerberg. For this he was committed to Othenbach, and treated with shameful rigor, often receiving no food. His digestive organs became so impaired through protracted fasting, that his stomach refused to retain food, and he accordingly prepared himself for death. In this state he was carried by the persecutors to church during the sermon, where he was brutally "thrown under a bench," and when he immediately expired. "His wife, Adelheyd Egli, was also kept in durance in Othenbach nearly four years. During this period they treated her not only unmercifully, but disgracefully; they threw her into several offensive places, stripped her twice in irons, and for a time took her clothes from her every night, etc."* She escaped afterward from prison with a good conscience. Meantime the authorities ruthlessly dispersed her family, drove the children among strangers, and then confiscated her house and furniture and sold them for 5000 florins." [1]
