Deputy Sheriff Mcclure has the bowie
knife of the noted oatlaw Jesse James,
The relic is in a good state of preservation
1t is about s inches in length, has the
ordinary bowie knife blade and has fine
horn handle, with solid silver fnishings.
On one side of the handle is silver
heart, while in the other there is a large
silver star. Small stars also adorn the
handle. On silver bar the name of Jesse
James appears, beautifully engraved.
The knife is incased in horn scabbard

FOR MURDER.


While the officers do not saw in the
statement printed above that the pir, has
confessed, the language they use would
indicate such to be the case Tbev say
that they have strong reasons for beliey
ing that the child's body is in the woods.
and they are going to renew the search.
1t looks as if this visit was the result
of statements made by Rose during her
examination yesterday afternoon. To
days search will be an exhaustive one.
Last night Mr.. Plummer sent an officer
to Pride's corner to organize searching
party, and it is expected that a. large
number of men from the vicinity will
turn out. The tracks made by the girl
have, Of course, been long since obliterat-
ed, but the places where the little dress,
the handkerchief and the cord and tassel
were found, have been marked and will
dent, too, that the officers know about
where to make the search. The route fol-
lowed by Rose Dolley on that stormy
evening was over a mile in length. and
there are indications that the officers do
not think they will have to search any
great distance from the place where the
dress was found.
There is another Significant statement
made in the authorities summary of the
case They say that articles worn by the
child at the time of his disappearance
were TO und in the woods. They do not
say that articles such a the child wore
were found, but they speak of them as
positively identified. As the dress frcm
the Temporary Home could be identified
only as one made there and not as the
particular dress worn by Roses child, it
is apparent that the officers have other
means of Identification. 1t is understo I'd
that the lady in whose EoEse the unfor-
tunate little child had lived the last day
of its life, will swear positively that the
handkerchief found in the woods was one
which she herself pinned around the in
fant's neck when his mother called for
him on the day of his disappearance
The two women will probably be ar
raigned before Judge Robinson today.
and the county attorney will move that
the hearing be continue to Saturday.
