THE HERO OF THE HOUR.
KANSAS CRY, Oct. 7.-At Independence
to-day the crowd of curious ones wasI even
greater than yesterday. A number Of
old friends were admitted to the Jail to
talk with James. He seemed in excellent
spirits, and expressed entire confidence in
his ability to clear himself against the
charges that may be brought against him.
His wife visited him during the morning.
At the hotel yesterday he vrsae upon the
register Crank James, vito and child"
remarking it was the first time he had
signed his right name in sixteen years.
There was number of bidders for
the autograph, but the land
lord declined to permit the
register to be cut. James appearance
strongly Indicates the rapid approach
of consumption. Although he asserts he
is in good health, it is evident
that he is considerably broken
physically, if not in spirits. 1t is the gen
eral opinion that he cofdently expected to
be admitted to bail yesterday, and there is
no doubt he could give bond in any
amount that could be demanded. The
regular term of the criminal court occurs
in November, but it is thought Judge
White will give a hearing to the
application for bail before
that time. There is great difference of
opinion here as to the probability of
sufficient evidence being obtained to con-
Wet him of the charges preferred in this
county. Opinions are also greatly at
variance as to the chances for a pardon in
the case of conviction. Maj. Edwards
states positively that James had no en-
couragement farther than that offered in
the letter from Gov. Crittenden published
yesterday. The prisoner will be held at
Independence until further action is taken.

self. Parties went to the house, and
found Redman's wife on the floor
about two feet from the
door, weltering in blood and
in dying condition, Derringer pistol
