LONG TIME CONVICT
JESSE POMEROY BEGINS THIRTYFIFTH
YEAR IN CELL.
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.
