The laws of the land wank at some !
forms of rascality. If a man jumps
his board bill, he can be arrested and 1
imprisoned, if he gives a bogus check!
for 10 gallons of gas and a quart of
oil, he can likewise be "took to law,"{:
but if he buys a ham on credit and
gives a verbal promise to pay for it I
"next sadday," and fails to do so, he 11
can't be reached with anything short of
a shotgun. A professional -dead jj

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
