stripped and beaten by an older boy.
 another South Boston lad, was found, tied to a board in a va- cant lot near his home. He had been kicked and beaten into un- consciousness. Five year old John- ny Balch was the next victim. Af- ter brutally assaulting him. the as- sailant put salt in the wounds.
 After these attacks, fathers of South Boston, armed with shot guns and rifles, conducted a man. hunt in a fruitless attempt to cap- ture the assailant.
 A few weeks later, boy named Robert Gould, cut and beaten, was found unconscious. George Pratt, four, was found senseless from a similar beating in the cabin of a yacht in South Boston. In this case, the torturer had pushed pins and needles into the boys body.
 It was only after Harry Austin, three, had been carried to a vacant lot, stripped, beaten and slashed with a pen-knife, that Pomeroy was arrested. He confessed and was sent to Westboro reformatory. Seventeen months later, however, he was released for good behavior.
 In March, 1874, about a month after Pomeroy's release, Katie Curran, 6, left home for school. She never returned. Relatives presumed she had drowned.
 A few days later, a clam digger found the body of Horace Millen, five, in South Boston masrh. The boys throat had been cut. Pome- roy was arrested and confessed. He admitted, also, that he had slain the Curran girl, and told po- lice they would find her body in the cellar of her mothers store. The body was found, secreted in ashes.
 Pomeroy's murder trial lasted three days. He was convicted and sentenced to hang. Because of his youth, however, Governor Alexan- der H. Rice commuted the sen- tence to life imprisonment in soli- tary confinement.
 Jesse's declining years were spent, rather happily it semed. among the older -?
 State farm authorities said fu- neral arrangements would be de- ferred while efforts wefe made to locate relatives or friends of Pom- eroy. They believed no near rela- tives survived, the last, a brother, having died year or so ago.

At each end is A curved balustrade ending with a round pedestal supporting a bronze lamp standard nine feet In height. The walls of the edifice are constructed of Weymouth gran. ite. the doors and windows being trimmed with cast granite. The front is surmounted by a shapely belfry.
 Interior of Church
 The interior walls of the church are of sand finish plaster. The cell ing contains highly decorated pias- terine with symmetrical panellings the panels being treated with paint ings of the Apostles and St Sebas- tian. Between the arches, under the clerestory, are circular plaster pam els, and in each panel is placed a painting, there being ten paintings in all. The sanctuary has a conereo ceiling and the side walls contain Corinthian pilasters. A plaster lm- post moulding extends around the entire church.
 The flooring is of oak, with rub Der covered aisles and vest1bule:. The sanctuary, when completed will have a marble flooring and three marble altars. The pulpit and altar rail will also be of mar ble. The Carrara marble for this work is at present being prepared In Pietransanta, Italy.
 The Stations of the Cross are of mosaic, with a bracket light under each station. The stained glass windows have not yet been install- ed.
 St sebastian's parish was formed in the fall of 1880 to provide for the spiritual needs of the Italian Catholics in Middletown. Previous ly they had been attended by St Johns church. The present edi- flee was begun in the early part of 1881 under the direction of the Rev Alvaro Santolini, pastor. of St Ann's, Highwood. In the following December the Rev Rocco Guerriero was assigned to the pastorate of St Sebastians. Since it's foundation the parish has made remarkable progress spiritually as well as ma terially, and there is every indica- tion that the vigorous and jealous Father Guerriero will skilfully lead his charges to higher and higher heights of achievement.

Roosevelt Is |xse Seeking Low Tariff
(Continued from Page 1)

(Continued from Page D
 The governor blamed the pres ent tariff for a large measure of the farmer ills, asserting its pro- visions to be lone of the effective causes of the present depression" and "a barbed wire entanglement against our economic contact with the world"
 Roosevelt observed that "in two years from 1880 to 1892, American manufacturers have established in foreign countries, to escape the penalty of the introduction of American made ogods, 258 factor les; 4S in Europe; 12 in Latin America; 28 in the Far East and q in CanaCa.
 The tariff referred to by Roose- welt as the Grundy tariff. had "a secondary and perhaps even more disastrous effect" he said.
 "Billions of dollars of debts are duo to this country from abroad" |" The governor explained. If the debtor nations cannot export goods and services, they must try to pay in gold. We started such a drain on the gold reserves of the prin- cipal commercial countries to prac- tically force all of them off the gold standard. What happened? The value of the money of each of these countries relative to the val ue of the dollar declined alarm ingly. They just couldn't buy our goods with their money. These goods were thrown back upon our markets and prices fell still more."
 The nominee said ''the Grundy tariff has largely extinguished the export markets for our industrial and our farm surplus. It has pre- vented the payment of public and private debts to us and the inter- est thereon: increasing taxation to meet the expense of our govern ment, and finally 1t has driven our factories abroad"
 Roosevelt offered "a competitive tariff which means one which will put the American producers on a market equality with their foreign competitors. One that equalizes the difference in the cost of production not a prohibitory tariff back of which domestic producers may combine to practice extortion on the American public"
 For labor knows by long and OAlLCL SAPCllCllCC IIdI IllS Ll6Aly protected industries pay not one penny higher wages than the non- protected industries, such as the automobile industry"
 The basis of the Roosevelt farm policy was summed up by the gov ernor as follows:
 First to seek relief for the farm CT from the burden of his expence account, and second, to try to re- store the purchasing power. of his dollar by getting for him higher prices for the products of the sail"
 Mounting expenses of agriculture Roosevelt laid to cost of govern mental support, local. state and national. To remedy this he called for the elimination of useless office holders and "resolute. courageous cutting"
 Simplification and consolidation of government, proposed four years ago by President Hoover. has not materialized, he asserted. To-day, Roosevelt said, "once more a can didate, he Is still proposing. I leave you to draw your own in- ferences."
 The governors special left Sioux City late last night for Milwaukee and Chicago.

holidays passed without a bit of verse from his facile pen. He wrote poems about Christmas, New Years, Fourth of July, and about sairplanes and automobiles that he never had seen.
 It was Jesse's. proud boast that he was a self-made man in the strictest sense of the word. During his 38 years in solitary he learned half a dozen languages. He spoke and wrote French, Ger man, Italian, Spanish,' Russian and English with native ease, and he had a superficial knowledge of many more tongues.
 Time after time during Pome- roy's Imprisonment, efforts were made to gain his freedom, but without avail, the state contending that his mental status made it un- wise. The last appeal for liberty was rejected only a year ago.
 Ingenious fellow that he was, . Pomeroy made no less than seven attempts to break prison, the last one having occurred at the state farm here in June, 1930.
 Boldest of his attempts to escape was that of 1911 when, after se- creting a drinking cup, he rigged up an attachment to explode gas from a pipe that he had tapped. The explosion was set to take place outside his cell, but this plan was frustrated by prison attaches.
 On another occasion he sawed through heavy plank in the bot tom of his cell and tunneled a con- siderable distance before guards l, discovered his scheme.
 So long had Pomeroy been in prison that most folk had forgot ten the crime of which he was convicted.

BY THOMAS B. MORGAN

Aboard S. s. Rex, Gibraltar. Sept so-(U, P.)-Former Mayor James J. Walker of New York waited with ill-concealed impatience to-day for the speedy liner Rex to start him on a race across the Atlantic which he hopes will get him to New York in time to enter the fight for reelection and "vindication'' before the electorate.
 The mayor chafed to be off, but after Investigating the possibility of airplanes to reach other fast crippled Rex offered him the best chance to reach New York by Oc- tober 6, date of the city-wide con- vention to nominate a mayor.
 Oficers of the Rex assured him repairs on the ships crippled dyna- mo would be completed by this evening and the attempt to cross the Atlantic in world-record speed would be started.

Before formally announcing his candidacy, he await ed further legal moves of his op- days decision of the appellate court ordering a mayoralty cleo in November would be carried to the New York court of appeals, the states highest court.

Trimble promised to make known his decision as soon as pos- sible.
 Pomerene's letter to Trimble charged that publicity had caused depositors to withdraw funds from Borrowing institutions. He said ton aggregating $3.451, 900 had borrowers feared the effect of publicity.
 Pomerene accompanied the let ter with a brief vigorously chal- longing the house clerks publicity policy. He also submitted to Trim ble the August loan report.
 Pomerene asserted that Trimble had no authority to publish the loan reports. The clerk ignored in- formal objections last month .n making public loan reports for the last ten days of July.
 'The publication of the report caused serious embarrassment to a number of borrowers" Pomerene said. Tt gave rise to much un- just criticism. Reports were cir culated that some of the institu- tions borrowing were not in good financial condition when they were perfectly sound.
 "This resulted in withdrawals from some of the banks and other institutions. A number of them have said that while loans were of great benefit to them, the good was largely undone by the pubIi- cation."
 Pomerene said many applications not yet acted upon had been with: drawn and that "other banks and financial institutions. including in. suranee companies, which were In need of funds and iteded to apply for loans. have refused to do SO bo- cause they felt that publicity would do them great harm.
