WOMAN TO DIE
AUSTRIAN POLITICAL UNREST
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)
VIENNA. February 8. The first woman sentenced to death under the special procedure introduced in 1934 after the Socialist revolt is Hilde Goessi, a Nazi, aged nineteen,
who was convicted with Max Wild,
aged twenty, who has also been senf~t£jiced to be hanged, for the attempted murder of Anton Strele, a frontier patrolman at Innisbruck, by placing a bomb under his bed. The prosecution said that the crime was due to attempted vengeance on Strele, who. shot a German named Schumacher in a frontier incident in 1933.
The sentences are expected to produce Need reprisals. Considerable nervousness is being exhibited as a result of numerous incidents, including an aeroplane dropping leaflets in Vienna, demanding “revenge for February 12,” Vhich is the date of the Socialist rising; and also the recent discovery of a bomb in the Chancellery. There have been 500 arrests or Social Democrats throughout the country, especially in the Tyrol and'Vienna.
