PLEADING GUILTY.
The Ford Boys to Hang on the 18th
Of May.
But the Trial and confession OF Guilt
ALL Farce,
As They Expect a Prompt Pardon
From Gov. Crittenden.
Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Special to the Post-Dispatch.
ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, April II. An IN.
dictment for murder in the first degree
was returned to-day against Charles
and Robert Ford bv the grand jury of
Buchanan county. The prisoners were
brought into court at 80 o'clock, and
when the Indictment was read to them
they pleaded guilty and were sentenced
to be hanged on the 10Th of May. The
quick work OF the court was surprise
to the large audience and spectators.
Dnring the delivery of the sentence
Judge Sherman was much moved but
the Ford boys were perfectly non.
chalant, Robert acted IN daredevil
manner and laughed. while Charles on
he contrary was very irritable and
showed unmistakable signs Of anger.
Alter their return 20 the Jail the boys
talked freely. They are sure Critten-
den will pardon them, and have no
fears on that score. They are indig
nant over the action of
the st. Joseph authorities and are very
mad. The whole proceedings occupied
a bret period, and 1t was regarded by
all concerned as stupendous farce.
There was little OF the lMpressiveness
of q court Of justice. and the idea of
beng sentenced to be hanged seemed
to cause. much mirth to the Ford boys
When your reporter called at the
Jail after the Fords had been taken back
| he asked the hoys how they felt.
"Do you think you will hang?' said
the reporter.
Hang not worth a DAMN SAID
| Bob.
Hang! HIP said Charley. ''We
should smile! The governor will at.
tend to that part of the business; that
is in the contract
Contract! what contracts? queried
the reporter.
"Well. never mind that. ! tell you
the Governor will pardon u.s.
"Yes," added Bob, ,'' it is N black and
white
do you mean to say you have a
written agreement with The governor
about your pardon?'
Now. don't you ask too much. | say
we are all right. Crittenden can t.
daren't go back on US. We know what
we know

CINCINNATI, Ohio, April IA

ginia and through the entire central

He reports wheat is looking better and
more promising than for years, says un
less there is some drawback hereafter
the crop will be heavy. The frost has
not affected it. The work of planting
corn is In a good state of offorwardness.
The fruits are pretty badly injured by

Pardoned.

ST.. JOSEPH, April 1s.-The pardon
fom the governor arrived in St. Joseph
at noon. 1t was at once put
in the hands of Sheriff Thomas,
who declined to state when he
would release the prisoners. He was
impressed with the belief that the two
boys were in danger of their lives in
the town, and the
MOST EXTRAORDINARY PRECAUTIONS
were taken to secure their safety A
guard was established about the jail
no one allowed to come anywhere near
it. Mr.. Morris, the constable Of Ray
county, arrested Charley Ford as soon
as he walked out of the jail on war
rant charging him with the murder of
Wood Hite.
THE ARREST WAS ACCOMPLISHED.
SO quietly that few people We're aware
that it was done.
A wild rumor was current that Frank
James had been seen by two different
people in st. Joe this morning and al
though this was dlscredited Sheriff
Thomas admitted his belief in the truth
of the story. Charley and Bob Ford
were both brought down to the Mis-.
souri, Pacific train surrounded by
large posse of officers. The boys claims
to be under no fear of Frank James,
but their nervous apprehensive look
belied this statement. They were
cheered as they left the Jail.
