 Boston. Feb. Ex-Governor Guild to- day made public the reply which he has sent to J. c. Newton of Merrifield, Fairfax County. Virginia, who, on be- half of fifty residents of that place petitioned the Governor for the release from the state prison at Charleston Of Jesse Pomeroy. the notorious murderer.
 The petition refers to the alleged refined torture" which Pomeroy IS obliged to undergo in prison. In his reply Governor Guild points out that the petitioners evidently are ignorant of prison methods as no refined tor turcs~ exists in Massachusetts prisons. In conclusion the Governor says:
 T would as soon think of loosing mad wolf as this murderer whose heinous crimes were of character which in certain sections of the coun- try sometimes provoke mobs and burn ings at the stake Massachusetts cares neither for. lynch executions nor for lynch pardons."
