half uncannily in the detection OF
murderers.
Jesse Pomeroy, one of the worst
cases of sadism known to crimsnolo-
gists, a lad who murdered smaller
children solely for the caprice o. the
thing, hid his last little victim uHder
the ground, shaking her bods with
uuicklime to destroy it. Rats from a
nearby barnyard nosed beneath the
thin layer of earth, ate OF the quick
lime and were killed by it. The num-
Der OF dead rats caused establishment,
which led to the digging of the
ground, the finding Of the child's
body, and eventually to Jesse Pome-
roy being sent to prison for life. That
was forty-one years ago, and he is
still in prison.
Paul Miller In 1898 robbed and
murdered Francis Newton, a Brook
field, Mass, farmer, and Newton's
wife. None heard or saw the crime.
Miller possessed himself of the old
mans money, made his way to a
railroad station and in buying ticket
to distant place gave the ticket
agent a half-dollar dated 1886. The
agent noted the age Of the coin and
decided to keep it as souvenir. I'm.
consciously he linked in his memory
the old half-dollar with the man that
had given It to him. He showed the

young school teacher. But for six
months afterward he escaped detec-
ton. The apparent regularity of his
life, open to public view, warded sus-
picion from him. BY day he worked
regularly and faithfully as a shipping
clerk in a big institution. He was
highly regarded there. He had a
young and pretty wife and child; a
neat, pretty home to which he was
seen returning every evening from
work. And the policeman on the post
never saw him leave it at night.

Spencer, throwing his legs about the
sides Of the ladder, slid swiftly to the

his home. But In the confession that
he made later he said:
AS l was running away realized
that a locket l wore on my charm

in the grass and I made up my mind

object is to advertise the facilities
