They remembered stories of children who were not just capable of murder, and murder with extreme cruelty.

Jesse Pomeroy

Jesse Pomeroy nicknamed Marble Eye committed two brutal murders, and the first - at the age of 12 years. At age 16, he was sentenced to death. But to his credit many more victims - those he killed, but kidnapped and tortured.

Jesse Harding Pomeroy was born November 29, 1859 in Charlestown in the family of a veteran of the Civil War Thomas J.. Pomeroy and Ruth Ann Snowman. His brother Charlie was two years older.

Childhood Jesse can not be called happy: his father was an aggressive drunk, and just that thrashed two sons. Before you punish the sons, the father stripped them naked, that formed the Jesse unhealthy psychic link between pain and sexual arousal. He soon began killing: Pomeroy in the house did not have any animals, even though the mother of Jesse wanted to have a parrot. But the birds that lived in the house before, she once found with folded necks. Then Jesse caught at the moment when he killed a neighbor's cat. But soon the death dumb victims bored Jesse, and he switched to the people.

Pomeroy became the first victim of four William Payne. In December 1871 the two men, passing by an abandoned house in the south of Boston, heard faint cries. Once inside, they found the kid Billy hung by the wrists from the ceiling. When a child is removed from the rope, it was found that the entire back is covered with huge welts kid. Unfortunately, Billy could not clearly explain the police what had happened to him. A year later, Jesse met on the streets of seven Tracy Hayden and promised to show the soldiers. Once they were in a secluded spot, Jesse attacked the boy, then at Tracy were dislodged teeth, a broken nose, and his eyes were black with hemorrhage. Tracy told the police that his tormentor had brown hair, and he promised to cut Tracy penis. No more reading to extract from the baby failed. The police were powerless.

And Jesse, not having waited for a month, attacked eight-Robert Mayer: The boy believed that Jesse would take him to the circus, and found himself in a deserted place, where Jesse beat him with a stick while masturbating. After he freed Robert, but threatened to kill him, if he at least someone will tell. Robert told the police, but this again did not help catch the criminal.

The next victim Pomeroy suffered more refined torture: a seven-year, George Pratt, he was trying to gouge out the eyes and took a bite of her cheeks; six years of Harry Austin stabbed in the left side and was going to cut off the penis, but it scared passers-by; seven years of Joseph Kennedy ispolosovannaya knife, finally rezanuv face; five-year Robert Gould tied to a pole near the railroad tracks.

It is thanks to the small Robert Jesse caught: he said that he was kidnapped boy "with a white eye." On the right eye Pomeroy was a thorn.

Jesse caught by chance on a completely unknown reason, he went to the police station, and at the very moment when it testified one of the boys, whom he tortured. Pomeroy was found guilty on all charges and was sent to the house of correction in Westborough, where he was to remain until adulthood. But two years later Jessie was released on parole. And he began to kill.

The first victim was the ten-Pomeroy Kathy Curran. The girl came to the store for notebooks where Jesse found work. Pomeroy invited her down to the basement, saying that there is, in the warehouse, there is exactly what she needs. On the stairs, Jesse cut her throat. The body is pulled in a faulty toilet and threw stones. Mother Kathy to know where last saw her daughter, became hysterical. But the police, to whom she turned for help, reassured her: first, Jesse was corrected in the establishment, and secondly, he never attacked the girls.

Cathy's body was found soon. His head was smashed with stones, and the upper part of the body completely disintegrated, so to establish the nature of injuries was impossible. But investigators have paid special attention to the fact that the stomach and genitals girls were literally cut to pieces with a knife.

And Jesse, meanwhile, again went on the hunt, but almost in vain: all the children in town knew about Marble eye and wanting to walk with Jesse in the abandoned place was not. While Pomeroy did not meet four Horace Millen.

In April 1874 baby Horace went to the bakery for a cupcake and met on the way Pomeroy. Jesse offered to go to the store together. Horace entertained Jesse cupcake, and one supposedly in gratitude, offered the child to go to the port to see the ships. After reaching the swamp near the port, he offered the kid to sit down and relax and then slashed the child's throat with a knife. But to kill could not.

Subsequently, the experts found on the hands of Horace many wounds, which meant that the baby was a long time in the minds and resisted. Later Pomeroy ispolosovannaya entire crotch of the victim, and his right eye gouged out with a knife straight through the closed eyelid.

Caught by the police Jesse Pomeroy denied his guilt until such time as it forcibly brought to the morgue and showed him the body of Horace. At this point, the maniac was shaking with fear, and when he was asked whether he committed the murder, he replied: "I think so."

Jesse Pomeroy was sentenced to death December 10, 1874. Due to the age of the offender had to replace it with life imprisonment. Pomeroy tried to escape 10 or 12 times and each time showed extraordinary ingenuity. He died in 1932 in a hospital for the insane prisoners.

Several times children approached adults and asked why the baby is crying, how he got the bruises and where two children are older it dragged. John and Robert each time answered the same: it is their little brother, he fell, hit, they lead him home. When John and Robert James dragged to the bridge, in front of them stood a man on a motorcycle. To him they said, that dragged the baby to the police station, because the lost and want to be taken home. The man left.
