[S595] Mansell Upham, "Kees de Boer - Cornelis CLAES / CLAESSEN / CLAESZ / CLASSEN from Utrecht" (Article - electronic, October 2000), On Friday evening of 28 September 1703 Catrijn's son-in-law Abraham Bastiaansz Pyl (married to her daughter Cornelia), was brought soaking wet into the house of the free black Jan Luij van Ceylon by the latter's children who had rescued him out of the Eerste River. Pyl who was made to sit and dry himself that evening before the fire on the understanding that he would spend the night there. Later that night the family was rudely awakened by gurgling and screams. They found Pyl lying facewards on the ground with his throat slit by a knife. The landdrost Pieter Robberts and two heemraden Dirk Coetse and Guilliam du Toit were duly called. On their arrival they found Pyl still alive. His throat had been cut through zoodanig dat de longe-pijp geheel afgesneden was. On asking Pyl what had happened, he had indicated that the wound had been self-inflicted. But after the surgeon Jean Prieur du Plessis had dressed the wound, Pyl could be more clearly heard to confirm two or three times that he had indeed slit his own throat. When asked Why?, he answered simply, and without any further explanation: …Mijn vrouw is er de oorsaak van… . . . succumbed a few days after 4 October 1703. [DR: A statement abou the incident was made on 4 October when he was not yet deceased, but he died before the baptism of his son on the 14th.]. Hereinafter cited as "Kees de Boer."

About midnight Jan van Zijlen was woken by screams and found Pijl out of his bed with his throat cut and a bloody knife by him.

    On the next day came the Landdrost Pieter Robbertsz, and the heemraden Dirk Coetse and Gulliam du Toit, accompanied by the surgeon Jean du Plessi, where they found Abraham Pijl still alive. He told them by gestures and words that he himself was responsible and that his wife was the cause, but gave no further explanation. (1 STB 18/154, 4th October 1703, pages 183-186)."
