BsSsHA terrible and sickening child
murder was that committed at Dorchcs-
ter, Mass, last week, by boy named
Jesse Pomeroy, who killed son OF
John A. Millin. The fiend stabbed
this innocent victim in a number OF
places and cut his throat in Il horrible
manner, almost severing his head from
his body. The offender is only II boy
but Is old in crimes. He has been serv-
for similar crimes, and was pardoned
out on good behavior less than month
ago This was done against the advice
and remonstrance of ID. Il. johnson
the visiting agent of the State Board
Of Charities. 1t will he remembered
by our readers that this boy was con-
victed some months ago of decoying
and maltreating children, some OF
them having died from the treatment
received at his hands And now this
flend it seems is let loose to prey upon
unsuspecting without even a watch be
ing kept over him. He has confessed
this murder, and ii is feared that at
least one other child has been disposed
of by him. Is it not time that the
short time offenders usually get in
these times should be meted out TO
them instead Of letting such loose upon
the community.
