Hunger Strike Fatal
To Sim Fein Leader

DUBLIN. Sept. 26.-Thomas Ashe. a
Sim Fem leader, has died in hos
pital here as the result of hunger
strike upon which he entered some
time ago.
Ashe commanded the rebels in the
Easter riots 9t Ashbourne in 1915,
when several members Of the con-
stabulary were killed. He was SEN
fenced to penal servitude for life. but
was released last June under the am
nesty arrangement. Recently he was
again sentenced by court martial to a
years imprisonment for a seditious
speech. but Immediately on being i'm
prisoned began hunger strike. which
resulted in his death.
So far as available records show,
Ashe is the only person who has died
in prison recently from voluntary
starvation, although many persons
notably sutfragists have gone on
hunger strikes in England when i'm
prisoned for attractions of the law.
Ashe prior TO his conviction for con-
nection with the Ashbourne rioting
had visited the United States on a
financial mission for the Sim Fem
League.
