For in his 95 minutes of compar- ative freedom, Pomeroy saw a trolley | car and rode in an automobile! Even with modern inventions and new scientific discoveries. He used to say he believed he could step out into the world and never get a thrill, 80 learly did he visualize what was happening. But his hour and a half of freedom proved him wrong. A city did not more noisy and confusing than he had ever imagined. Years of mental stimulation had | not prepared him for this strange interlude between his incarcerations. He was quite resigned to leave this | modern world, into which he does not fit and is not prepared, for the quiet and shadows that awaited him. Instead of riding in airships, he con- | carceration, saw only prison officer who brought meager meals and shoved the his cell. For one hour each he was allowed to speak his mother. With apparently innocuous materials he constructed the moat amazing instruments to get out of his jeell. At one time he had a plan to explode gas so it would blow out his cell.
