I " t'fy fifa'r 1 rj Shut Off From World Old Prisoner Marvels Hridgewater, Mass., Aug. 1.?Fifty-three years ago a boy of 17 who hud murdered children even younger than himself entered the Charlestown prison to expiate his crimes by s life in/ solitary confinement Today, Jesse H. Potfieroy, now a grtssled old man i of 71 was taken from behind the grim w?ll? that for more than a half century had been his home to the state farm here, a vast expanse of fertile land on which the several hundred inmateg^aiee garden crops. Pomeroy arrived here in an. automobile, the first ride he had ever j taken in a motor vehicle. During the trip his eyes were held wide by wonder and his tongue almost speechless a* he realised with what speed a world, hidden from him by prison Nulls, had moved in h3 years. Massachusetts' historic "lifer" was .surprised and disappointed by the virtual absence of horses from the highways. He saw but one:\frote the time he left Boi'ton until hd arrived ut the outskirts of Bridge Water. And a*, the state farm he faced one of his greatest surprises. There, tractors have all but displaced horses in agricultural work and a lengthy explanation was necessary before he was able to understand thef usy of those machines. / NNear Brockton the two automobiles bearing Pomeroy apd five other long [term prisoners, like .him suffering from ill-health, paused long enough at an airport for Pomeroy to witness for the first time the take-off of an, airplane. He was so amazed that he was unable to question his guards. * At another point a striug of freight cars held his attention and an explanation was necessary befpre he could comprehend their use. The gates lowered at a railroad crossing, which they passed, impressed Pomeroy as one of the greatest improvements he had seen. A string of high tension power lines, on their skeleton poles completely baffled the aged prisoner, I Ponieroy's removal #to the state farm was directed because of his physical condition^ He, was assigned to a room, exclusive to himself, at the farm infirmary. Pomeroy was sentenced bo he hanged for the murder of Horace Milan, his third victim, but because of his youth the sentence was commuted to solitary confinement for life. After 41 yegrs?of * solitary" lie was permitted to take Ins place with other prisoners. Prisoners at the state farm are allowed a considerable degree of lib?ty . ?'??r Death of John D.
