STARVES AMID PLENTY

Former Minister Either Unable to Eat or Determined to Die. Akron, 0., April 27. —William Murray Andrews, former minister, starved himself to death either from choice or because he could not eat. “I am dying inch by inch; starving to death. I have not eaten a whole egg for a week. I am very weak, in> deed.” This was the note Andrews left. He was employed as a steward in a hotel and died from lack of food which each day he supervised the preparation of elaborate meals.
