KANSAS CRY, Nov. 27.-[Speclal. 1.-THE
regular November term of the crimi
nal court convened here to-day, and this
afternoon Frank James was arraigned on
the two indictments against him in this
county. One of these is for robbing the
bank at Independence in 1867, and the
other for the murder of Pinkerton's de-
tective, Wicker, in 1874. Frank was brought
from hts cell at Independence early this
morning and kept in the jailer's rooms
here until $3.50 this afternoon, when
his case was called and he was
brought into court. Large crowds had
been hanging around the courthouse
all day, and the insane curiosity Of the
people was SO great that with difficulty a
passage-way could be cleared for him in the
courtroom. When he was brought in, his
attorneys, Colonel John +. Phillips, of this
city, Ex-Governor Charles Z. johnson, OF
St. Louis, and Mr.. l.. O. Slower, Of INDIE
pendence, took seats at his side, and the
prosecuting attorney read the indictments.
Frenk remained seated, and his attorneys
entered plea OF not guilty to both indict-
ments. By agreement of counsel January
22d was set down as the date for trial OF
both cases. Governor johnson then asked

mine the matter Of bail. The prisoner was
then removed and took the evening train
for Independence. Heexpresses great con-
