Special TO the X. c. Times.


Gallatin, Mo-, Nov. 5-The Davies
circuit court net in special session at p.
III. to-day. Immediately after being called
the court ordered the sheriff to bring in
Frank James. Mr.. Hamilton, the county
attorney, then submitted motion nolle-
pros indictment for murder of Conductor
Westfall, to continue case for murder of
Sheets, and to remand prisoner to the GUS
tOdy Of the marshal Of Jackson county,
according to agreement made when prison
er was brought here for trial.
Mr.. Rush, counsel for defense, objected
to the motion and announced that they
were ready for trial in the Sheets case.
After some further argument by Col.
Shrucklin for the state, Garner for the de-
tense and Wallace for the state, the court
ordered that nolle pros. enter in indict-
ment number two for the murder of West
fall, and that number three, for the muir.
der of Sheets, be continued and that the
prisoner be remanded "a per motion, and
Marshal Murphy was present and took
charge of the prisoner.
This will perhaps be James last public
appearance before Davies county audi
ence.
The opinion that he would not be COM
mitted here is perhaps correct, as i: would
now be impossible almost to find an unpre-
JUDGED jury Of twelve men who had not
heard all the evidence in the first trial
which would be the same in the Westfall
case. There is also an indictment here
which has never been served upon him for
robbery. Gailatin has lost wonderful at.
traction, and it is to be hoped that the bit
ter feeling engendered by The trial and the
presence of the great bandit will now be
sweetened by his absence from our midst.
No one who believed him guilty has chang
ed IN opinion, and those who believed him
innocent still swear that way, while anoth-
er large class stick to the Scotch verdict,
mot proven" but believe him a bad man
on general terms. The lawyers from a
distance were Colonel Garner. of Ray, Col.
WoOdsOn, of Liberty, and w. HI. Wallace,
Of Jackson. Only forty or fifty spectators
were present In our magnificent temple of
justice, and it would seem that Mr.. James
Is now no more attractive than any ordina-
ry horse thief.
FRANKS ARRIVAL IN KANSAS CITY.
Among the passengers who arrived in
here last evening via the Rock Island road
was Frank james, brother OF the party
whose daring exploits are being portrayed
IN heroic style al one of the theaters of this
city. Frank James was under escort.
Marshall Con Murphy and Deputy Marshal
w. +. keshlear having him in charge. He
comes here to stand trial on an indictment
for participation in the Blue Cut train rob-
berry, which occurred on the Chicago and
Alton road, near Independence, this county,
in September 1881.
The case will be called early in the No
vember term of criminal court, and unless
some unforeseen event occurs, trial will
doubtless be had at the comm term. The
prisoner was turned over to Marshal Muir.
ply by the authorities of Daviess county
at Gdllatin yesterday afternoon, and he ar
rived here about 9 o'clock las; evening.
The party allghted at the depot and at once
took a carriage for the city. Very few peo-
pie seemed aware of the ex bandits pres
ence, and there were not the crowds about
the prisoner that usually gather around
him upon his appearance at the depot.
The prisoner was almost concealed in a
long black overcoat, and the collar being
turned up about his face, il was difficult
matter for any one to recognize him. To a
Times reporter, who had caught sight of
the nOt.u prisoner as he was hurrvinp
along, } m had little to say, evidently
feeling In 10 humOr to talk, even if he had
the time Noticing tha. the man looked
thinner than when h. was last i'm Jackson
county, al inquiry was made regarding his
health.
81 am feeling as we'll as could be ex.

The prospect of being assigned TO quarters

DO You expect tIial at the coming

Dy case is in my attorneys hands,"
Have you any fears as to the result of

81 can't say that l have. believe can

The prisoner and his guard moved of.
Ind not ioIg afterwa ard they arrived at the
second street jail. Without ceremony,
md almost without cOpveSssiion, the pris-
'ner was given cell below, and entering
he place, the bolts were fastened, and he
