Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. entered the

'A larger crowd than nsual was on

Judge Watson warned the feminine
auditors that much of the testimony
in the ease had been unfit for their

The women, many of whom had
traveled miles to hear the argument,
reluctantly filed out. Then Judge
Watson began his instructions to the

THdTH-FTVE YEARS Uf
SOLITARY CONTTNEMEJrT.
Jssm Fomaroy, a Degenerate, la Jail
For Iifs For a Series of Brutal
Crimea.
Boston, Mass., Sept. 7. After' hav
ing spent thirty-five years of his life
in a solitary cell of "Cherry Hill,"
the stronghold of Charlestown state
prison where the life prisoners are
confined, Jesse Pomeroy, the most no
torious of these hto prisoners today
entered upon his thirty-sixth year of
solitary confinement. When Jesse
Pomeroy entered the prison cell thirty-five
years ago he was a youth of
about sixteen years; he is now fifty
one and, nitwithstanding the rigor of
bis confinement which was interrupt
ed but for a short period during the
present year, seems strong, healthy
and vigorous physically as well as
mentally.
During the latter part of 1871 and
the beginning of 1872 a series of bes
tial and indescribably cruel crimes
perpetrated upon little boys of tender
age created a perfect panic in South
Boston and Chelsea. In every one of
the cases the little victim was entic
ed to some lonely spot by a boy of
about twelve or fourteen years, strip
ped, tied to a tree or board and then
unmercifully beaten and tortured by
him. It was many months before the
police obtained the first clue to the
perpetrator of these crimes. Infor
mation given by one of the young,
victims led to the arrest of Jesse Pom
eroy, the son of a poor but respecta
ble dressmaker.
Jesse Pomeroy at firist denied his
guilt, but, after he had been confront
ed with several of bis victims and de
finitely identified by them, he broke
down and confessed. He could not
explain his motive and repeatedly
asserted that he was driven to these
fiendish outrages by impulses he
could not resist. He was tried, found
guilty, and in consideration of his
youth sent to the state reform school
At that time degeneracy was not so
thoroughly understood as it is now
Pomeroy was called a degenerate, but
it was considered more proper to pun
ish him than to treat him as a defec
tive and send him to an asylum where
he could have been kept under perma
nent control.

1874.- Scarcely one month later a lit
tle girl named Katie Curran disap
peared on her way to school sad al
though a thorough search was made ' '
extending over many months, not a
trace of her could be found.
Later ia the same rear a clam-di
ger of South Boston, in crossing the
marsh back of Washington village, .
South Boston, found the horribly mu
tilated body of a small boy, who was '.
afterward identified as Horace Millan, '
The crime was evidently the work of
degenerate and, remembering the -
record of Jesse Poweroy, the police
arrested him and took him to the mar- .
gue where the body of thejittle boy
lay upon a stone slap. The sight of
the mutilated corpse so nnnerved
Pomeroy that he confessed bis guilt
and also admitted that he had tor
tured and murdered little Katie Cur
ran. Her mutilated and decomposed
body was found buried under ashes
and rubbish in the cellar of Mrs. Pom
eroy 's house. :
The confession of these crimes era
ated the most intense feeling among
the people in South Boston and Chel
s "a and Pomeroy would have been :
lynched had it not been for tha pre
cautions of the authorities. His trial
lasted only three days and only the
prisoner's youth saved him from tha
gallows. . He was sentenced to spend
the remainder of his life in solitary -confinment
in Charlestown . prison.
During the first ten years of his im
prisonment Pomeroy made a munber
of attempts to break out of jail, bnt
they were frustrated by the watchful
ness of his guards. A number of sen
timentalists induced the governor ia
the spring of this year to allow Pom
eroy more freedom, but his privileges '
were soon revoked when the discov
ery was made that he had used his
greater freedom to plan his escape -and
had even obtained possession of
a steel saw.
