JESSE POMEROY MOVES

After SO years in solitary confinement behind the
walls of Massachusetts state prison, Jesse Pomeroy,
old of H. is to spend the remainder of his
life on the prison farm at Brldgewater
AS youth of H. Jesse Pomeroy killed three small
children at different times and upon conviction of
killing his last victim the court sentenced him to prison
for life His we'll known and hated
through all New England, late the early
part of this century, as was Edward Hlckman IN this
state.
Pomerov was abnormal. During all the long
years of his solitary confinement scrupulous
taken to that piece of metal however nslgnlfl
cant, came near him. Once the vigilance was relaxed
years ago while he exercising in the prison yard.
The result a fiendish attack upon guard.
In the long years of his confinement, reading has
been the sole occupation permitted Pomeroy He has
been omniverous reader and student and is report
ed to mastered the law several sciences and is
brilliant the field of literature Yet the quirk
in his mentality prevented him from taking proper
place in the world
From his reading he knew of automobiles and air
planes telephones, radio and all the wonderful inven-
tions that have been developed since he lost his liberty
Yet it all amazed him when he left prison yesterday in
an automobile noticed and commented on the ab-
sence of horses from the roads and permitted TO
watch arpane take-off when the car passed an
airport.
One wonders if medical science could have made
Jesse Pomeroy as criminals who are such from
some physical deformity sometimes reformed now
He was not criminal from choice as many are. His
was afflicton the same as insanity.

June %, 1927.
Farewell, dear husband and father,
sweet thy rest,
Weary with years and worn with pain,
Farewell till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
Tis ours to miss thee all our years
and tender memories of thee keep,
Thine in the Lord to rest for so
He giveth His beloved sleep.
Our hearts are sad indeed today,
Our tears we canOnt stay,
For it is just two years ago
Since dear husband and father passed
away.
The moon and stars are shining
Upon lonely grave,
Where sleeps our husband and father,
We loved but could not save.

SMALL NUMBER
SEES FARM PLAY
Three Act Play, "Back to the Farm,
Mt North Star Hall Is
Well Rendered.

Due to rain storm gathering near
the scheduled time, only a fair crowd
appeared to witness the rendition OF
the Back to the Farm" play at the
North Star club hall north of AskOv
Friday night The play had its set
ting on a typical old time farm where
signs and old-time methods were used
very extensively.
Act THE Merrill Farm on mid
autumn morning i'm 1906. This act
denoted friction between father. Mr..
Merrill. acted by Charles Hoglund. and
son, Merton, Brisben Street and Mrs.
Merrill, Anna Mossberg and the hired
man, Gustaf Johnson. The son wanted
to get higher education to run the
farm on scientific principles and the
hired man wanted to have his own
way about the house much to the
dissatisfaction of Mrs. Merrill. Mer-
ton proposed marriage to the pretty
school ma'am, Rose Mead (Gladys
Warner), who turned him down be-
cause as farmers wife she couldn't
have the luXuries she was accustomed
to. The act ended with Merton being
ordered to leave home by his father
Act II-At the fraternity ball five
years later. Merton graduates from
the University of Minnesota's agricul-
tural division and at the ball he was
told that the old home farm, which
had been mOrtgaged to buy more land,
would be foreclosed by Lawyer Ash
ley. Harold Stage. in default of Mr..
Merill's failing to pay the interest.
Merton paid the interest and was
called back home by his fathers ill
ness, after having refused an excel
lent offer from the extension division
Act 1.-Two years. later i'm Mer-
tons study at the Merrill farm. Mer-
ton has applied his scientific prin-
ciples to the operation of the farm
and things are successfully humming
along with everyone happy in his
work. Gus, the hired man, once green
about the farm and the necessity of
being clearly, is a model man around
the place with the problem on his
hands of teaching his prospective
bride. Hulda, the maid characterized
by Mrs. Tracy Street) his style of do
ing things. Rose Mead, the school
ma'am and Mr. Ashley came to dinner
in Mr.. Ashley's new car and Rose ac-
cepted the chance of being Merton's
wife in preference to Lawyer Ash
ley's wife, who was also in love with
her. Hulda and Gus also announced
their intention of getting married.
Interesting sidelights in the play
were efficiently taken care of by Ing
void Void, who took the part oil
Reuben Allen, neighbor of the
Merills and who characterized the
typical farmer in every way; Robert
Powell, Tracy Street, a former class
mate of Merton's at the ''U' and who
made an ideal green city resident while
on his vacation to the Merrill farm;
Myrtle Overland acted the part oil
Margerie Langdon, who was continu-
ally chasing the social butterfly and
had no time for the farm.
Miss Lily May Thompson coached
the play and much credit is due her
as well as to those who took part in
the plays conduct.
The play was sponsored by the
Windemere Farm Bureau unit The
musical accompaniment was played
by Olson Brothers orchestra.
