Telephone 7 1 i; -- - ' J7?" Woman Starves To Avoid Electric Chair I*Grange, Tex., 'Aug. 24.?Selfimposed starvation brought death to Mrs. Maria Dach, 36-year-old farm woman, and saved her from going to the electric chuir for the slaying of Henry Stoeyer, her 58-year-old helper. Mrs. Daeh died in her jail celi last night while awaiting action on an appeal from the death sentence. She had eaten only three meals in 37 days, For days she \yas upconftcious on the cot in .her cell. A physic.an watched her closely and then began to treat her for a stomach ailment. Occasionally she broke her fast to nibble at the food the jailer brought her, but she l ?st weight and her 100 pounds when she died offered a sharp contrast to the 200 pounds of three months ago, "The * food makes me sick," she would say at meal time. The first 13 days after she was convicted last May 25, Mrs. Dach refused food altogether. Finally she was persuaded bp eat a few vegetables, but she Quickly began fasting again. Mrs. Dach accepted her death sentence without show of emotion but clung to her claim that she shot Stoever in defense of herself and her children. She insisted thAt she lived in fear of him as he helped about the farm after he attacked her last December. Stoever was shot and killed as he slept. His body was dug up from a seven-foot pit on the woman's farm several months later after officers began an investigation at the request of two of Stoever's brothers. Over the pit a chicken house had been erected. v When a deputy read the indictment at the trial, Mrs. Dach replied in German: "I am guilty; I did it." Mrs. Dach's thrco children were present aU-the time of their mother's death. The body was sent to Srhulenburg for burial.
