The suspense was only for an in

We observed at q glance, However,
vaie searching the dimiy lighted
apartment for the object Of our visit.
ON ,ae south side OF the room, near
tie table. SAT- Frank james, still
holding IN his hands the Kansas City
Times. which .he had been reading on
ear approaoh.
As we entered he arose politely
and shook hands with each of Us in
an easy. aHable manner as we were
introduced by the Sheriff. He aPol-
osized for being unable to offer us
chairs. but invited us to take seats on
his col. after which he resumed his
former seat. He wore a pair Of light
pants rather the worse fer wear, dark
vest. and colored shirt and collar,
without a lie. On his shirt front he
wore q gold pin. Hehad on no coat,
ana his shoes were not tied, so that
he presented anything else than the
appearance Of dandy, as some
newspaper accounts have pictured
him.
Az attempt to convey a correct
idea of the mans appearance would
be futile. for the most accurate des-
eription Of the features fails to depict
the expression, from which only We
can fo-m an idea of the disposition.
He IS about five feet ten inches in
height, but unusually leaa snd angu-
lar and his wrists and ankles are Not
larger than the same members Of a
medium-sized boy ten years Of age.
His hands are slender and lean, and
his fingers unusually long.
His hair is thin, cut short, and
Grhtin color. tie also wears a small
Hght-colorcd mustache, with no other
beard. Ills forehead is broad, and
the distance from the brow to the
Lair is very great, but the forehead
rscedes rapidly. The ears are set
l,w in his head. His eyes are gray
