THE HERO OF THE HOUR
KANSAS CRY, Oct. AT Independence
to-day the crowd of curious ones was even
greater than yesterday. A number of
Ola friends were admitted to the Jail to
talS with James. He seemed in excellent
spirits and expressed entire confidence in
MS ability to clear himself against the
charges that may be brought against him.
hls wife visited him during the morning.
At the hotel yesterday he wrote upon the
register Frank James, wife and child.n
remarking it was the first time he had
signed his right name in sixteen wears.
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 ne is considerably broken
| physically, if not in spirits. It is the gem
eral opinion that he coidently expected to
be admitted to bail yesterday, and there is
| no doubt he could give a bond in anv
| amount that could be demanded. The
| regular term of the criminal court occurs
IN November, but it is thought Judge
White will give 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 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.
