torious life prisoner in the country,
will tomorrow round out his thirty
eigth year as solitary confinement
prisoner behind the gray walls OF the
State Prison in Charlestown. Dur.
ing all these years Pomeroy has never
seen the face of fellow-convict nor
of any visitor from the outside ex-
cepting his aged mother and occa-
sionally the Governor or other State
or prison official He has never seen
an electric car, never heard phono-
graph, never talked through a tele-
phone and has never ridden in an ele-
vator. His only knowledge of auto
mobiles and aeroplanes, OF modern
skyscrapers, wireless telegraphy, mo-
tion pictures and other things that
are familiar to the people of the pres
ent day has been derived from read
ing. Pomeroy Is now fifty-two years
old. At the age OF IA he was sem
fenced to solitary Imprisonment for
life for torturing and numbering little
children. During his long conflne-
ment he has made numerous attempts
to escape, but never succeeded in get

The Court House

County Auditor Walter NJ Riley
has received an opinion from the aud
itor of state relative to the school
funds. The state department holds
that the county auditor shall deposit
all school funds in the depository OF

money must be deposited by the aud
itor with the county treasurer. The
county treasurer is also auth Jiized
to hold all the books of the city, vii
lage or township pertaining to the
school fund. The state department
urges all cities, villages and townships
to have a depository at the earliest
possible date, if they have not already
done so. Just as soon as a depository
is established the county treasurer is
directed to pay the money over to
the said depository.
