hibition at Burnel's museum in Brooklyn.
They claim that on Tuesday the wife of
Frank James, the brother of Jesse, visited
the museum, stared at them, and then after
locking at the other curiosities, left the
building, entered cab and was driven
rapidly away. They assert that they rec
ognized Mrs. James, although she wore q
thick veil, and that her visit to the museum
was intended as a reminder to them that
Frank James had threatened to kill
them for Numbering his brother.
Charles Ford said to a
reporter tonight: 81 notice every one
that comes in here, for when q man has
sworn to kill you you must keep your eyes
always open, and in city like this you
don't get a fair chance to cock revolver
before you 50 down. I saw among the
people that entered, a heavily veiled wo-
man dressed in deep mourning. She
walked up to our platform and looked at
Bob and me. She looked at the curiosi-
ties for few minutes and then returned
to whore Bob and were;
folded her arms and looked
that she was Frank James wife, and told
Bob about it. You can imagine how he
felt. Thinking that, perhaps, Frank was
hanging around and me without a pistol,
Bob jumped off the platform and went to
the managers Office. MIR. Bates only
laughed, but just then Mrs. James passed
out of the door. Bob said he was going to
follow her, and Bates said he would go
with him. Mrs. James passed by the win
dow that opens into our platform, and
looked in. Then a carriage drove up and
she sprang intoit and was driven away"

that had been purposely prepared. Ret
