CHARLESTOWN, Mass, Aug. l.
Jesse Harding Pomeroy rode out
today through the grim, high gates
of CharlestoWn state prison, his
compulsory home for the last fifty
three years, on his way to Bridge
water state farm, amout forty miles
away.
1t was the first time since his i'm
prisonment f1fty-three years ago for
the murder of Horace MILAN that
the 68-year-old prisoner had seen
the outer world, with vision unhan1-
pered by prisons walls and bars.
Shortly after 1880 a. m. the
prison gates swung open and two
automobiles containing longterm
prisoners, including Pomeroy, filed
out, followed by two other cars con-
tanning newspaper men.
Pomeroy was in the first automo-
bile with two other prisoners and
two agents of the department of
correction.
Pomeroy was dressed in a gray
flannel shirt, gray suit and black
tie.
His eyes were filed with tears.
He had just bid good-by to his fell
low prisoners as he passed down the
long corridors from his cell to the
warden's office.
In the warden's office he shook
hands and embraced the Rev. Ralph
w. Farrell, prison chaplain.
AS he stepped out of the warden's
office he was confronted by a group
of neewspapermen. Camera flash
lights doomed. He glanced neither
right nor left and continued on his
way to the automobiles. He quietly
took his place in the first car.
The other prisoners entered the
automobiles. Then the guards took
their places. There was a signal
everything was in readiness. The
prison gates swung open and the
procession filed out.

Edison has reserved the right to
call of the contest if the candi-

There is enough at stake to
make any youth nervous. The
winner will receive the Edison
