Of Cat Prevents The Escape

Boston, Dec. 30-Jesse Pomeroy,
whose crimes, startled the country
nearly 40 years ago, attempted unsuc.
cessfully to escape from the state
prison at Charlestown today. POM
eroy is serving life sentence for tor
turing two children to death when he
was 13 years old.
The convict left his cell by saving
three bars from the door. The new
ing of cat, which followed Pome-
roy along the corridor. attracted the
attention Gf Thomas Brassel. an at.
tendant, shortly before daylight, and
when he ordered the murderer to
throw up mis- hands the prisoner made
no resistance.
Pcmeroy had made careful plans to
escape. A dummy had been arranged
In his bed so that the officer on duty
would not notice his absence. The
steel bars OF the cell door were cut
by saw made out of two small pieces
OF steel. The prison officials have not
learned how the murdered obtained
the pieces Of metal.
Pomeroy. who is SO years old, was
sentenced to be hanged, in 1874, for
the brutal murders OF small girl and
boy, Katie Curren and H. Fl. Million. In
South Boston. The sentence was com
muted to life Imprisonment In solitary
confinement.
The convict has attempted twice be

pardon.

A GOOD MOVE.

At a recent meeting of the Busi-
ness Mems League of Louisa a
committee consisting of three mem
bers was appointed to investigate all
demands made upon our citizens
for financial or other aid. For a
long time Louisa has been a field
for the operations of beggars of var
ious kinds, some worthy, but more
who were entirely underlying of
help. Nobody likes to turn away un-
aided anyone who needs and is
really worthy Of aid, and nobody
likes to be "stung." So the League
has adopted this practical plan to
prevent impostors from imposing up
on our people. The committee is
composed of A. L. Burton, treasur-
er, A. j. CARED and A. M. Hughes,
and to them all applicants for aid
should be referred. All applications
will be promptly and thoroughly in
vestigated, and the needy and wor-
thy will be relieved as much as pos
sible.
The League has created
the relief fund, few citizens have
subscribed to it, and all who can
do SO are invited to contribute to
the fund.

oHIEF DEPUTY U. s. MARsHAL.

Washington. Dec. 5.-When the
members of the Kentucky delega-
ton heard to-day that r. Lee Stew
art, of Hindman, had been approved
as chief deputy United States mar
shal at Coyington by the Attorney
General on the Recommendation of
Representative John w. Langley and
United States Marshal A. b. Pat
rick, they pinched themselves to
make sure they were awake. They
wondered whether the election of
Woodrow Wilson in 1912 and the
subsequent division of patronage
spoils among Democrats was a
dream. 1t did not take them long,
however, to realize that Stewards
tenure of office is to be very brief
as he will automatically lose his po-
sition when the term of Marshal
Patrick expires.
The majority of the delegation is
willing enough to let Representa-
tive Langley and Marshal Patrick
fill the position made vacant by the
death of Thomas Hollifield,, for
they believe that they will not have
another chance to make an appoint
ment for many years
In the appointment of Stewart,
who was secretary to Representative
Langley, Marshal Patrick simply
took advantage or the opportunity
afforded him by the new Sundry
Civil Appropriation Bill, which pro-
Nldes that United States marshal
may name his chief deputy.
Senator James said to-day he will
probably move to settle the United
States marshalship for the Eastern
Kentucky district shortly after Jam
uary l, 1914. John O'Kelly, of Ash
land, whose chief hacker is Rufus
Vansant, called on Mr.. James to-day
TO press his own candidacy for the
marshalship, and was given a long
after which the Senator
said his mind is not made up as to
whom he will recommend.
