Jesse Pomeroy, who years ago was
given a life sentence in the Charles
town state prison for the murder of
two children. came very nea escap-
ing from his quarters last Wednes-
day. With no tools except a piece of
wire and a few nails, he succeeded in
boring through the wall of his cell
until only a few bricks lay between
him and liberty. When discovered
in his attempt to escape, he showed
no emotion whatever. Pomeroy was
only IA years old when he committed
the crime of murder, and he was then
regarded as the worst specimen of
youthful ~depravity ever known.
