22- YEAR OLD SEAMAN HERO,
 WRECK SCENE
Entire Crew of President Madison Volunteer
 ed Services

SEATTLE, Oct. 1.-R J. Healy, Commander of the liner President Madison, reporting by radio to the American Mail Line headquarters here revealed that E. Blomberg, aged g, was the hero of the res cue of the three survivors of the freighter Nevada which piled on the rocks of Amatignak Island, Aleutians, and is a complete wreck.
 Capt. Healy said the entire crew of the President Madison volun- teered to man to go in the two small boats to the rescue The little life boats were sent out from the big steamship into raging sea.
 Mile and Half Away
 The President Madison at the time was approximately one mile and half from the shore line, where the Nevada piled up and was breaking up.
 When the rescue party approach ed the beach, the surf was too high to land the hfeboats.
 Blomberg took a small line and swam to the rocks where the Ne vada was breaking up. He reached the beach, then with the small line, hauled a larger line ashore with life preservers and life buoy.
 Survivors Rescued
 Blomberg managed to get the three survivors into the life buoy and they were hauled aboard the lifeboats, the three men so weak they could hardly help themselves.
 The heroic action of this Ameri- can seaman is a historical epic of the high seas, said Capt Healy
 All of the crew of the lifeboats at the scene volunteered to swim to the wrecked liner, but Blom- berg was chosen because he is an exceptional swimmer.

BRIDGEWATER, Mass, Oct. 1. Jesse Pomeroy, Massachusetts most notorious life termer, is dead after serving 56 years behind pris- on walls, forty of them in solitary confinment, during which he saw only his guards.
 Heart disease is given as the cause of death at the State Pris- on Farm here.
 Starting his sentence Sept. 1, 1876, it was not until 1917 that he was permitted to eat in the company of other prisoners or to attend religious services and en- tertainments in the State Prison at Charlestown, Mass.
 Penal authorities said that it would be difficult to find paral- Tel for the time he spent in "soli- tary" Some be.:eved that he was thus imprisoned longer than any other men in American criminal history.
 Kills Boy
 This circumstance overshadowed the atrocities conceived by the per- verted mind of his boyhood. He was only IA years old when he was convicted of murdering four year old boy and sentenced to be hanged.
 But William Gaston, then Gov ernor of Massachusetts, was op- posed to capital punishment and refused to sign a warrant for the execution. His successor, Gov Alexander E. Rice, conmuted the sentence to life imprisonment at hard labor.
 The hard labor part of the pun- ishment did not, however, work out. The keepers found that Pom eroy managed to fashion tools for escape from almost anything upon which he could lay his hands. He was given only food and books, but even then he managed to con- trive tools.
 12 Escape Attempts
 Saws made from scraps of steel, from the leg of cot and from cans; drills fashioned from screws and pieces of scrap metal, files and knives were products of his ingenuity. With these he made at least 12 attempts to escape
 In one of his essays toward free dom, he tunneled with a nail, an improvised chisel and home made file to within a few inches of liberty when a trail of lime dust exposed his work. At an- other time he cut an opening through his cell door, rigged a conductor from a gas jet into his cell and ignited the gas in the hope of burning hole in the wall. Instead he burned himself severely.
 Cat Reveals Plot
 His last serious attempt was in 1912 when he sawed three bars from his cell, fitted dummies in their places to cover his activities and when ready for the dash, he slipped through the hole and was creeping along the corridor to- ward an unsuspecting guard when he aroused sleeping cat. The startled feline yeowled and jumped at him. The guard found him armed with dagger and equip ped with file and three saws.
 In June, 1930, after he had been transferred to the State farm at Bridgewater, knives, saws and files

office in New York City. He made
the round trip in 13 days, visiting
New Orleans one day, being five
days in New York City and one

he was entertained by ex-Sen. Bill
