The SLAYER of Jesse James.

Bob and Charley Ford, who killed the outlaw
Jesse James, are in the city, playing at the Zoo
Theater in Observation-Disclosures drama called
"The Brothers Oath" To a Journal reporter
last night Bob Ford stated that he was much in
terested in the trial of Frank James and read
the evidence carefully every day. He thought
that a conviction was uncertain. He said that
both he and his brother had been questioned by
the prosecuting attorney regarding the case,
but theSacts in their possession were immaterial
and they were consequently not summoned as
witnesses. He did not regard the current
rumors that Frank James and his gang were
plotting to kill him as worthy of serious consider
ation and after the killing of Jesse he had spent
five months in Missouri, and had not been mo-
Tested. After Governor Crittenden had pardoned
them they went into the show business, which
has since engaged their attention.
The Ford brothers are youthful in appearance,
and not bad looking. Bob is twenty -one years
old, well built, with fair complexion, light eyes
and an incipent mOustache, and his brother,
Charley, who is his senior by two years. is smaller
and dark. The boys are altogether modest about
their exploits, and do not care to talk about
them. They think they were justified in KILN g
Jesse James, but do not appear to be particularly
proud OF It,.

An Honest Girls Reward.

In the year 1869 there died in Paris
a rich old bachelor, who left his en-
tire fortune to a poor girl, a seam
stress, who was, moreover, almost
unknown to him. The secret of the
old man ignoring his friends and rel.
atives puzzled every body very much.
The deceased was what might be
called an original. He was quite &C.
centric. IN order to test the honesty
of his tel'ow-creatures he vas in the
habit of resOrting to many curious
experiments. which as a general
thing, did not improve the bad opin-
ion he already had of the human
race. One of his plans to ascertain
how many honest people there we're
travelling in omDihuses wa to 0ccu-
py the seat neare-t the conductor and
hand the fare of passengers to that Of
fetal. Instead of handing the exact
fare to the conductor he would give
the conductor a coin of larger value.
When the passenger received back
his excessive change. in fifteen con-
secutive instances, he quietly pock-
eted the money.
The sixteenth person who received
back excessive change was a young,
poorly dressed girl who had pity for
the poor conductor, who ouly got
three francs a day, and ~ould
have make good the loss. She i'm
m-diately exclaimed, conductor,
you have given ME too much change"
and returned him the surplus money.
