Show Carried Out Hunger Strike. Hunger strike records were broken some years ago by a Frenchman named Granie, who was arrested for murder in circumstances which left no doubt as to his guilt. He determined deter-mined to starve himself to death In order to escape the guillotine, and from the day of his arrest refused to eat In spite of every effort on the part of the prison authorities, who first tried tempting him to eat by placing the most dainty meals In his cell, and when that failed attempted forcible feeding. Granie held out for sixty-three sixty-three days, at the end of which time he died. |
