She frequently told her captors and anyone else who would listen that she was drunk when she committed her crime and that corn whiskey was the devil. Drunk and unruly, she went into a restaurant and ordered food. She felt the food took to long to prepare and she began to raise hell. She was asked to leave by a white waiter. She went home got a loaded shotgun, came back and shot the waiter. When she was executed in the electric chair she sang hymns and told witnesses that corn whiskey was the devil.

                           All inmates on Arizona Death Row

The only woman actually executed in Arizona was Eva Dugan, 49, who was hanged Feb. 21, 1930 for the 1927 butchering of Tucson rancher Andrew J. Mathis. The reason being may be that it was grotesquely botched. Evan was accidentally decapitated. The promptly switched to the gas chamber as a more humane method of execution. The evidence against her was actually all circumstantial. The victim was her ex boss who had recently fired her and the person who had the deceased car said Eva sold it to him.
