James, Nemesis.

ST. LOUIS, April 4.-The Ford broth
ers, one of whom killed Jesse James
yesterday, reside on a farm about two
miles from Redwood, county seat of
Ray county, this state. Robert, who
did the shooting, is only 20 years old
Their house is said to have been the
rendezvous of some of the J4mes gang,
and it was there that Dick Little killed
Wood Hite, brother Of Clarence Hite,
who was recently sentenced to 25 years
in the penitentiary, and is now in pris-
on. 1t is said that both belonged to
the James gang at one time, but this
statement does not seem to be verified.
The family came from Virginia, fifteen
years ago, and has always been consid-
cred very respectable; for some time
past both the brothers are be-
lieved to have been in the
detective service and specially engaged
in hunting out the members Uf the
James gang. Their aunt, Mrs Scott,
is supposed to be the lady who recent
ly had a secret interview with Governor
Crittenden at jefferson City. Govern
or Crittenden at the request Of the an
thorities Of the place, ordered out some
of the St. Joseph military last night, to
guard the body of the dead outlaw, as
there seemed to be an attempt made to
capture it. He also ordered parts of
two companies out at Kansas City to
serve as guards at that place.
THE INQUEST.
ST. JOSEPH, April AT the coroner's
inquest Mrs. Samuels, mother of Jesse
James, said that it was her son Jesse.
Considerable excitement was created by
her denunciation of the treachery OF
Dick Little. Governor Crlttenden has
Just arrived here, and it is unknown at
body.
OTHER PARTICULARS.
ST. LOUIS, April A Post-Dispdt h
special from Kansas City says: II is
now known that the taking off Of Jesse
James was the fulhllment of an arrange
ment between Gov. Crittenden and Bob
Ford, and that Ford was to receive one
fourth of the reward and immunity
In an interview with Dick Little and
reporter Sunday night last, the
scheme was foreshadowed, but he said
IL WAS uOl W nave uccu dCEOUl pllcDtu
before Wednesday or Thursday, and
only then lift was found impossible for
Timberlake to capture the bandit leader
alive.
Gov. Crittenden stated here, to-day,
that his first meeting with Ford was at
the st. James Hotel in this city on the
I'D of February, and the arrangement
by which Jesse James was to be either
captured or killed, was consummated.
He met Little few days later. He
was non-committal as to the disposition
to be made of Ford and Little, but ad-
mitted their ultimate pardon was not
improbable. Sherig Timberlake, Dick
Little and Mrs. Samuels. mother of the
dead bandit, passed through here last
night en- route for st. Joseph, and have
identified the body on oath. The double
confession of Dick Little Is still a mys-
tery, aud the officers are endeavoring
to solve II, and lean which is correct.
The trial of the Blue Cut robbers still
progresses at independence, and the
utmost efforts of their counsel are d.
rected toward proving an alibi
