TRIAL OF JESSIE POMEROY

One of .he most remarkable crim- inal cases ever tried in the United States was that of the boy Jesse Pomeroy, who since 1874, when he was fourteen years of age. has lived in solitary confinement in the Charlestown, Mass, jail He was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung, but this sentence was finally commuted to life imprison- ment
 The trial took place in September of that year, and very few of the men who sat in judgment on the young convict are now living, but Pomeroy has grown old in his Charlestown cell, where close to forty years he passed few pleasant words with any kindly disposed person.
 From a degenerate boy, with little mental capacity, in the intermin since he was placed behind the bars he has read thousands of books, which have been his only companions, has learn ed six languages, and has acquired an excellent knowledge of the history Of the world.
 Before he was thirteen years of age, Jesse Pomeroy was arrested charged with the torturing of boy companion He was sent to the re- fOrmatory school in Westboro, Mass, in September, 1872, and was pardoned less than two years later.
 | Not long after his release Pomeroy murdered a little fiVe-year- old girl 1 and buried her body in the cellar ot his mothers store. This was in Feb ruary, 1874 Shortly afterwards ht killed a five-year- boy in Soutf Boston, He was sentenced to bt hanged six months after his arrest A defense of insanity was made be- fore the New England supreme court and Governor Rice, after hearing |
 review of the eXtenuating circum
 stances commuted his sentence t' life imprisonment.
 Even after so many years hav'
 elapsed visitors to Charlestown jai
 are never allowed to go near his cell

Preparations Under Way for What is Predicted Will Be Season of Blue Ribbon Prosperity for Little Leagues
Special to The Republican,

 CHICAGO, March 22-Minor league baseball organizations in all parts of the country have about completed preparations for the open ing of what they predict will be a season of blue-rbbon prosperity, and this notwithstanding the threat of the Federal league to grab all of their players who showed class, without the formality of handing over real money for their release
 While keeping one eye on the Fed erals the minor league magnates have kept steadily on the job all winter, strengthening their circuits wherever possible, making up the seasons schedules and signing managers and players Numerous changes in cir cults and in team managers have taken place since the close of last season.
 One of the most notable of the changes was the transfer of the To- ledo team of the American Associa- tion to Cleveland. The Cleveland
 
 Jim Sheckard and will play it's home games on the American League grounds while the Maps are on the road.
 Two other new managers will pilot l teams in the American Association Bill Armour returns to the game as ] manager of the Kansas City Blues and Tack Hapdrickc will boya f.baroo of the Indianapolis outfit. | The Southern League circuit re- mains the same as last year. New 1 Managers selected include the follow | ing: Mique Finn, Memphis; Harry Mccormick. the former Giant, at Chattanooga; John Dobbs, at New | Orleans; Robert Gilks, at MontgOm- cry, and Bris Lord. formerly of the Boston Braves. at Mobile.
 Erie. Pa. and Toronto, Ont. have displaced Berlin and Guelph in the Canadian League circuit. One result of the new arrangement has been to elevate the league to a Class E or ganiZation. George Smith. former Boston, Buffalo manager. win pilot the Erie team.
 The Little old" New England League has dropped Fall River and Brockton and admitted Fitchburg, Mass. and Lewiston, Me. to the cir cult. Fred Lake, veteran big league player and manager, will own and manage the Fitchburg team, while l William McMahon has been signed to manage the Lewiston outfit
 In the Tri-State League. Reading Harry Ozzy) Hoffman, formerly of the Chicago Cubs, has been signed as pilot of the new team. In the same league John Castle, who man. aged the Atlantic City team last sea l. | son, goes to Allentown as manager. The veteran Zeke Wrigley, will lead the Trenton team.
 Several managerial changes have been announced in the Three-I league recently Clarence Rowland. owner and manager of the Dubuque team | for several years, has signed as man. ager for Peoria, while Forrest Plass l succeeds Rowland at Dubuque. How ard Wakefield, formerly of the | Cleveland Maps, joins the league as manager of the Springfield team.
 Five of the eight clubs in the New York state league have engaged new 1 managers for this season. The new | managers are Fred Payne, Syracuse; John Kelly, Scranton; Pete Noonan Wilkesbarre; Wild Conroy. veteran big league infielder, Elmira, and Eddie

met by such silence that finally no one went to inquire about him and he was practically forgotten. I n 1907 an appeal was made by the Society for the Promotion of Criminal An tropology that the prisoner be allow ed certain liberties, but this was re- fused by the governor.
 In a statement written by the pris oner in 1910, and widely published throughout the country. Pomerov claims that public feeling swayed the course of justice to his prejudice at the trial. The judge told the jury Ito bring in q verdict in the first de- gree or acquit for insanity" When the attorney general was summing up his case a member of the jury is reported to have interrupted him with Cease your invective."
 The verdict of the jury was Guilty
 of murder In the first degree on the ground of atrocity; the prisoner is recommended to mercy on the ground
 of youth"
 Previous to the arrest of Pomeroy
 there was a regular epidemic of crime in and about Boston in which little children figured as the victims One day little girl hy the name of Cur
 ran was sent by her mother to the store which was kept by Pomeroy' s
 mother. The little girl never came back. The mother was frantic with grief. Everybody became detective. The months rolled by. One rainy day
 q deaf mute pulled at d policeman
 coat and indicated by signs that he wished the policeman to go along
 with him, which he did.
 They went to the Dorchester
 marshes, where they found the mur- dered and mutilated body of little
 Horace Milan. They took a plaster of paris cast of the footprints, and
 then proceeded to the Pomeroy home, where they found Jesse in bed. His shoes exactly fitted the casts and he was arrested. The mother moved away and the house was remodelled
 and while workmen were digging in the cellar they unearthed the little corpse of Matte Curran.
 Jesse Pomeroy confessed that he had committed both murders. When he was being tried a petition signed by thousands of mothers was sent to the governor praying him to hang Jesse Many efforts have been made to secure his release. On one Occa- sion number of Virginia women ap- pealed to a Massachusetts governor to set Pomeroy free. The governor
 wrote back:
 If Pomeroy had committed his crimes in your state he would have
 been burned alive at the stake. and
 there would be no necessity for g pardon"
 Yet it is probably true that if
 science in 1875 had progressed as faI as it has in 1914 in explaining the pathological causes for such crimes as Pomeroys, he would have been
 sent. not to solitary confinement in a i state prison, but to an asylum fol 1 the criminal insane But there is nc
 doubt that Charlestown jail, which has been the home of this criminal
 fer forty years, will find him only | nonresident when he is carried ou | dead.

CONGRESS
of Nations Resemblance Has
the Assorted Company at
Relief Headquarters.
CDY AssoeIATEo PREss1

LONDON. Sept. 18-The assorted
company which presents itself at the
headquarters of the American Resi-
dents Relief Committee resembles
a congress Of nations. Negroes,
Japanese, Chinese. Hindus and Arabs
are among those who show papers
proving themselves citizens of the
United Estates and who are trying to
get home.
The first rush of applicants fer aid
was made up chiefly of tourists, but
later began the stream of Americans
who had resided in Europe for some
time and were employed in the vari-
Gus countries by the war. Many me-
groes who had been engaged as mu-
sicians and entertainers were thrown
out of work and sought the help OF
the American government. Actors.
circus performers, vaudevillians and
all sorts of entertainers found them
selves in a similar plight.
Chief Lewis Deer, af the Cheyenne
Indians and his company of braves
who were delfghting Austrian crowds
with their reproduction of Clusters
last stand came to grief at Libach,
where the circus with which they
were engaged was ''forced to disband,
and after several weeks of interviews
with German and Austrian officials,
who were suspicious OF the Redmen,
they finally made their way to Lon-
don with tales Of hardships which
rival the stories of pioneer days in
Wyoming. Only by putting on all
their feathers and war paint were the
Indians able to establish their
identity thoroughly and make their
way through the war zone. In ordi-
nary clothing they had nothing but
trouble and merely progressed from
| one fail or compound to another.
But buckskin sits decorated with
beads and crowns of turkey feathers
stamped them as real Americans and
.speeded their passage.

DEN AND FOR STATE
COAL IS LINEL Y NOW
BY FOREIGN Countries and
Shipments Are Already Be-
ing Made from Coast.
sesEelAL q &C TElso.Ala3

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept IT,
There Is no question about West Vir-
ginia's being able to dispose of her
coal In addition to the foreign yes
sells which sailed last week with coal
for three foreign countries, the Nor
wegian steamship "Ranvilk" and the
Greek steamer "Laertes" have left
Norfolk within the last few days with
over 1900 tons OF coal for River
Plata ports.
The British steamer "Glenartney" is
awaiting her cargo for Beunos Ayres;
the Norwegian steamer 'Mathtlde"
sailed with a cargo of 1888 tons for
Guantanamo, C1ba,-and three Italian
steamers have arrived from ports in
the Mediterranean to load for Naples
and Genoa. So that there is no ques-
ton as to the market. The things
that are making coal operators plan
now, is not only to meet the new South
American demand, but at the same
time to establish for the producers
and dealers of the section which in
cludes Pennsylvania Virginia and
West Virginia, a permanent market
for the coal in all parts of the world.
The permanency of the market is the
thing that are most concerned about.
1t was stated by a prominent operator
here the other day that, because of the
fact that the English, French and Ger
mans in South America, have the sys-
tenn of interlocking directorates to a
most effective degree, it might make it
difficult for American companies to
hold the trade when peace reigns
again. The same set of men that are
the directors Of companies in South,
America needing the coal, are also d.
rectors Of the mines abroad producing
the fuel, and directors of the steamship
companies delivering it.
However it is the determination of
the operators to enter the field and
try to retain as large part of it as
possible.
The states which inspired them to
make the fight are interesting: Of
f25, 100000 worth of coal imported
into Argentina in 1912. $23, 900 900
worth was from England. 1881. 900
worth from Germany, and only $685.
600 worth from this country.
The same year in Brazil the value
Of the coal imports was $1S,5O0,-l
900. of which $1,5OO,0OO was from
England and $2.7OO.OO0 from the
United States. An so on. in about
that same proportion through the
South American countries. With all
foreign supplies cut of, it is no won
der that the dealers are not worry
ing about disposfng OF West Virginia
coal. The only question in their
minds is, how to hold on to the
trade after they get it.

 Plain white silk parasols are deco rated with lowered Dresden ribbons put on in number of different ways. Strips of 1t are applied to the silk lengthwise and trimmed oil to fit in about the top. This arrangement Is managed usually by applying the rib bon before the cover Is stretched on the frame. But separate cover may bs made of light weight figured rib bon and placed over the plain silk cover. In this case the ribbon is caught down to the cover with hand sewing.
 The most popular method of ap- plying fancy ribbons to parasols is that shown in the picture presented here. The ribbon is applied in the at the lower edge. It is tackled to the ribs with tied stitches that are care fully put in to be unnoticeabie The upper edge is gathered with an over cast stitch that takes up the extra fu1lness, and hand-sewed with fine stitches to the covering.
 Black velvet ribbon Is a great fa- vorite for finishing edges. It is put on as a plain border or with some fullness as rufle, like that which edges the parasol pictured here

Face veils are the most sensible that have been worn, made of wonderfully fine firm silk and woven in hexagonal or dia- mond-shaped openings.

CHAPTER xI.
Astra and Rositta.


 The excitement caused by Napole- describable. The automatic electro stylograph on board the American Eagle had recorded the action of the fleet and had made a copy of the counts answer to Americas desires. The attack on the aerodromone was shown and the subsequent destruction of the monopianes. Napoleon Edison's name was in large print on every board The Hourly Stylograph said God bless our deliverer!" The Amer ican's comment was "The hero of America" He was compared to Wash ington, to Lincoln and many other great American patriots. His name was on the lips of every citizen.
 No one watched the helioboard with such interest and none prayed for Ma poleon's success more sincerely than Astra as she sat in her library with the Countess Rosiny.
 Astra's kindness toward the countess had not soothed the pain she suffered. She would have preferred a dungeon of ancient times, where she could rave at her end curse her, but she was a secret service agent, and had early learned the art of concealing her feel ings.
 With passion burning in her heart she was able to respond gracefully to Astra. Even while she watched the conflict of the American Eagle and the European fleet she was scheming. She lived for intrigue. Her soul c-aved the excitement of battling minds, She considered herself still in the employ of the Count von Wer- 1enstein, so she planned as she thought the count would have de- manded.
 Santos Duprel came to report the events of the day at the 2 ray station. and to put before Astra suggestions for. further defense. Napoleon could not come personally, so he sent his | trusted assistant.
 He was admitted to the library where the countess sat.
 Santos Duprel was a pleasant indi- vidual. having, as most fat men, a keen sense of humor. He greeted the two beautiful women with broad smile.
 When Rositta retired to the rooms that had been assigned her she sat
