Fiendish 44Boy Murderer** Has Spent More Time in I^onely Confinement Than Any American Prisoner. Jesse Pomoroy, whom criminologists and penologists regard as one of the most desperate abnormals of the age, began the thirty-fifth year of his life sentence in solitary conflnom&ni In tho iMoaannhnaotto fitofa itatv?a?v?*v va.v >* mmmm vtA MWVVVU WVUI.V Prison at Charleston Friday. No other prisoner ever served so long in solitary confinement in the United States. Pomeroy was sentenced when he was sixteen years old to pass his life alone in a cell. He had killed 2 children after torturing them^ he had subjected other children to sufferings whicu only a fiendish mind could devise. Very recently it was represented to Gov. Foss, by pitying women, chiefly, that he had become tractable, perhaps repentant. The Governor was told that Pomeroy had educated himself in prison, that he reads books from the prison library nearly all day long, studies law assiduously and writes excellent English. T71 ~ M A>,1 J uovernur r o?a, ui cuuit?'j, wuuiu not pardon the convict whom his keepers feared. But the Governor was inclined to end the "boy murderer's" solitary confinement to permit him to mingle with his fellows within four walls, to have religious consolation In the prison chapel, and to breathe air in the yard. At the very moment that Governor Koss was in this merciful frame of mind Pomeroy was planning to escape, as he had done before often. His keepers discovered in his sleeve an ingeniously made tool in the form of a bit of bit-stock. It is believed that he intended to bore holes around the lock of his cell and thus gain the corridor. The prison officials said it would have been impossible for Pomeroy to escape as a iguard is posted outside his cell all day and night. When other prisoners are in their cells in the day time the doors are lqft open; the door of Pomeroy's cell is closed when any one passes through the corridor. liflMiHH i * ll|pUft|HH ntHSSkTtm eji iii. ?? r u a - Lycry nurse uwucr dradi that moat ducvou diiim.
