KANSAS CrrY, April AT nine o'clocl
this morning the notorious villain Jeas
James was shot and killed at st. Joseph,
Mobile. by Robert Ford, Of Richmond
county. Jesse, it appears, has been
living in that city since last November
under the name Of Thomas Howard.
Robert Ford, the slayer Of James, and
bis brother Charles, had been shadow
ing Jesse James for many months past,
following him from place to place, their
purpose being 70 kill him the first time
and opportunity, but they never succeed
cd in finding him unarmed until this
morning. The boys went to st. Joe
about ono week ago, Previous to this
they had ingratiated themselves into
the confidence Of James, claiming they
were robbers and horse thieves. For
once Jesse was caught mapping, and he
believed all the Fords told hin. The
Fords. q. once upon their arrival in st.
Joe, went to the house on tho corner Of
18th and Lafayette streets, where Jesse
was living, and remained there until
after tho tragedy occurred this morn
ing. Jesse and Ford were talking to-
asthsr, and Jesse had just laid his pis-
tols on the table for moment when
Ford pulled out his revolver and shot
Jesse. The ball entered his head be-
hind the left ear, and passed out oyer
the hsforehead, death being instantaneous.
Tho identity OF the robber is beyond
question. He perfectly answers the de-
scriptions heretofore given Of Jesse, and
the assassin described him perfectly
sven 70 the marks on his person and the
clothes on his body. Jesse James's wife
va living here with him at the time.
She says II IL Jesse, and tells tho story
Of their recent movements in detail. In
Nay, year ago, they located in Kansas
City, whore they resided until November
last, whom they removed to St. Joe.
6incs they arrived in st. Joe they have
lived In three different places. Mrs.
James h handsome brunette about
S6 ysan Of age. She was hand
somely dressed and seems to feel
Jssss's death keenly. On Jssse's psr-
son was found . heavy plain gold ring,
marked "Jease," two gold watches, one
stsm winder. engraved "A.S. b.
which he il supposed to have taken
from former Governor at the Sweet
Springs robbery. The other watch IL

with solitaire ring, at tho robbery Of
Mammoth Cave, in Kentucky, . few
years ago. There was also found 4 ct Of
studs and = lady's oval breastpin.
Jesss's arms consisted Of . 45 caliber
Smith 4 wesson revolver; . Is caliber
Colt revolver and . Winchester rife and
q doubls-barrsl shotgun. The Ford
boys claim they had no object in view
but to obtain tho reward offered by the
Ssass government for Jesse James,
dead or alive. They recently had two
interviews with him st st. James
hotel In Kansas City. The Governor
vas informed Of their plan OF action
and approved it. The boys have been in
constant communication with Sheriff
Aimbsrly and H. H. Craig, and acted
under their instructions. The assassin

They arc hne-looking, intelligent young
men. After the ahootinR they promptly
