The raid was so unexpected and so carefully prepared that none of the men arrested had time to put up any resistance It was executed through the efforts of an under-cover agent who had worked his way into the gang's confidence. I The agent, James Altmeter, had purchased one bomb from the syndicate some time before and for three months he had been accepted as a racketeer. Last night he arranged for the purchase of a larger shipment. With one police squad hiding nearby and another surrounding a nearby house that served as the gangs headquarters, Altimeter completed his deal with the gang's emissary He received a pack- age containing four bombs and paid over $300 in marked money and a check for $240, Inducted James Belcastro, bevea to be the head or the gang, who was charged with slaying a year ago but npvr prosecuted, and Angelo Lucri, re-1 ar(toltted murder.

The tup itself, would be replete with amazement for the east Boston newspaper boy who, since he entered the grim prison in 1876 at the 'age cf 17, has never stepped outside its confines. Pomeroy had been sentenced to hang for the murder of Horace Milton whose tortured body was that of the newsboy's third victihi, but because of his youth, the sentence was commuted to life 1m-I prisonment.

For 41 years thereafter he suffered solitary confinement, a record probably never equalled. Then he was allowed to take his place with other life prisoners. Early this month his counsel, John Daly opened a fight to have Pomeroy transferred to Bridgswater' and an-J nounced lie would seek to mandamus Dr. A. Warren Stearns, state commis-1 sioner of correction, to take such action There were no legal proceedings but Dr Stearns made the- examination and re-.

ported the recommendation tto Governor Frank Alien. In the meantime, however, Pomeroy had been apprised of the situation and announced he wanted to stay at Charles- town unless he could be pardoned. Daly then declared he would oppose the move since his client objected. Yesterday at a hearing before the governor and council he vainly sought to forestall action on Dr. Stearns recommendation and to obtain a rehearing of the entire case Daly characterized Pomeroy as a circumstances by first getting ln-t to trouble in an era when insanity was not considered to the degree it now is in the trial of murder cases." The council, however, approved the transfer and it was ordered done forth- ith." Along with Pomeroy there will be transferred a number of other long term prisoners whose advancing age or physical incapacity for hard labor have made the conditions at Charlestown unsuited to them.
