THE KILLING OF JESSE JAMES.

The Crime Committed BY the Man who
Met Death ut Creole.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 9.-Jesse
James was killed by Bob Ford in his
home in St Joseph on April 3, 1889.
Bob was a relative of Jesse, a second
or third cousin. A few months
before the killing one of the
members Of the James gang, Bill
Ryan, was apprehended, tried and con-
victed. He was sent to the peniten-
tiary for long term of years. The
capture and incarceration of Ryan at
jefferson City resulted in the breaking
up of the gang at that time.
Dick Liddel, through his mistress,
Matte Collins, opened negotiations
with Police Commissioner Craig and
Chief Speers. of Kansas City. and
Sheriff Timberlake of Clay county
which terminated in his surrender.
He was promised immunity. Soon
after his surrender he made a con
fession, duplicating Frank and
Jesse James and number of
others in the Blue Cut. Winston
and Glendale robbcries- While Dick
Liddel was making his confession,
Charley Ford. brother of Bob Ford,
capitulated to Police Commissioned
Craig. and was taken into the presence
of Governor C-iticlden. To his ex-
cellency he stated that he had been on.
in the brush" with Fank and Jesse
James. and had participated in some
of the train robberies they were &C.
cused of having committed.
There were at that time rewards ag-
gregating So. 900 for each of the
James boys. The rewards were offered
by the railway companies whose
trains had been held up and robbed,
and by the state. After a few CONVEX
sations with Governor Crittenden. Bob
and Charley Ford agreed TO meet Jesse
James and remain with him until they
could either capture or kill him. The
house in which Jesse James lived with
knoll in st. Joseph. It overlooked q
considerable part of the city.
Bob and Charley Ford remained with
Jesse James several days, but found NO
opportunity to capture him. Then
they resolved to kill him. On the day
of his death, for the first time in many
years, Jesse James removed his revol.
vers, which were suspended from his
hips from q belt around his waist.
He stepped upon chair to dust and
hang a picture. As he did SO the Fords
stepped behind him with their re-
volvers in their hands Bob Ford
fred. The bullet entered Jesse James
skull at the base of the brain and he
fell upon the floor and expired with
out uttering word.
This is probably the final tragedy in
the history of the famous James gang.
Jesse James is dead and forgotten by
many, Charley Ford fills a suicides
grave, Boo Ford murdered, the fol-
lowers dead, in penitentiaries, scattered
to the four winds; Frank James living
as a peaceful citizen, visiting to-day in
Jackson county.

CREEDE, Col, June Bob Ford Is
dead-slain without warning as he
slew Jesse James. Deputy Sheriff Wat,
Kelly shot him yesterday in his OWL
dance house.
Last February in Pueblo Ford quar-
rel ed with Deputy Kelly. who is &
killer and a bad man himself. 1t wa.
over a woman. The two had hated
each other ever since. Yesterday after
noon Kelly was seen lounging in the
doorway of Ford's dance hall. A man,
whom no one has seen since, ap.
preached and slipped short dot BILE
barreled shot gun into his hands.
Thus armed Kelly stepped into the
dance hall. Bob he said, holding
his weapon ready for action. Ford
was standing with his back to Kelly
scarcely five feet away. He turned
and as he saw who had called him his
hand went for his six shooter. But
he had no chance on earth. Kelly had
simply to raise his shotgun and let il
go. Ford's hand never reached his
revolver.
The shot gun. heavily loaded with
buck shot, did frightful work at 50
short range. Ten whole charges
struck full in Ford's neck, tearing
away wind pipe and jugular. The man
died instantly.
Kelly walked quietly through the
crowd that gathered and gave himself
into custody of the sheriff. He will
not talk about his deadly work.

p0UBLY PUNISHED.
Admiral Walker Insists on Making an On
Ger Suffer Twice for an Offense.

Admiral Walker Insists on Making an On
Ger Suffer Twice for an Offense.
Whether or not a naval officer, or rather q
marine, can be punished twice for the same
offense is a question that may arise to
trouble the authorities in military law, if
Captain E. P. Meeker, of the marine corps,
should feel disposed to appeal from the de-
cision of court martial that has sentenced
him to suspension on half pay for one year.
Captain Meeker, who is the second Captain
in seniority In the marine corps, was in
charge of the marine guard on the Chicago,
Admiral Walkers flagship, during hsr
recent cruise in South American waters
At La Guayra, Venezuela, four of his men
who managed to obtain some liquor sur
reptitiously got drunk. Admiral Walker,
who is very strict dIsciplinarian, caused
Captain Meeker to be publicly reprimanded
on the quarter deck, and not content with
that, ordered him to be tried by court
martial on a charge of neglect of duty and
inefficiency in the performance of duty.
When the court met the Captain pleaded,
as a bar to the proceedings, the fact that he
had already been punished for the alleged
offense through the PRONUNCIATION of the
AdmiraPs general order of reprimand. As
court martials have frequently prescribed
the issue OF such reprimands as penalty
for proved offenses there could be little
question that the order must be construed
as punishment Consequently the court
decided that the Captains plea in bar was
good. But Admiral Walker directed the
court to proceed regardless of the plea, and
it did so, finding the Captain guilty and i'm
posing a punishment of one years suspen-
sion on half nav. Admiral Walker ap-
proved the proceedings and the notice of
his action has reached the Navy Depart
ment There is nothing for the department
to do in the case, however, unless Captain
Meeker should appeal from the action Of
the court and the Admiral, but he is being
urged to do this by naval officers who feel
that there should be some aut foritative de-
cision upon the question as to whether an
officer is liable to be punished twice Tor the
same offense, in violation of the principle
of common law.

heavily. Who could be unkind to he ITO
-(his thoughts grow hasty here and some
what confused) to any woman?
Of one thing only can he be sure, and that
is, that she is of good birth. Gentle breed
ing is stamped on every feature of her face.
Whatever dire chance has flung her into
her present life she certainly does not be-
long to it.
Not for one moment does the thought of
guilt, as connected with her, occur to him.
In truth, her face is far too sweet and brave
and noble to permit the harboring of such a
hateful fancy in any mind. As for Drayton
he feels only sympathy for her; his heart is
stirred to its very depths as he thinks of
her, and his one thought as he moves slowly
across the grass is, how can he help her
be OF use to her-restore her to the position
from which he has no doubt she has fallen,
though through no fault of hers?
Yet how to compass this end: To seek to
discover her secretI That is beyond him.
He would take no step in that direction.
Her secret is her own; her own it shall re-
main. 1t would be but simple matter to
write to Lady Barker and make few in
quiries, but he knows he would cut his
hand off rather than do it. She has chosen
to come to his house, be it for refuge or
through want and here she shall remain un-
molested, and with all that he can do to in
sure her happiness, until she chooses to 60
again.
In the meantime
In the meantime he is causing her very
keen unhappiness. His walking away from
her after her last odd little speech, 50 ST.
lently, so thoughtfully, has filled her with
dismay. Was there not something marked,
something condemnatory, in the fact that he
never looked back, gave her no orders, no
word, no sign? Oh, undoubtedly suspicious
have arisen in his mind; the fatal way in
which she blurted out that "Sir" has un-
done her.
