JESSE JAMES UNDER ARREST
SON OF TIE FAMOUS TRAIN
ROBBER.
Suspected of Completely In the Re
cent Kansas City Robbery
Crackerneck District to Be Purified

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 11.-Jesse
James, jr., son of the notorious ban
dit, Jesse James. AIissouri's pioneer
train robber, was taken from his cigar
stand in the county court house by the
police this evening. and is being Sc
GREETED by the palice authorities. Two
other men, whose names are not known,
and whom the police absolutely refuse
to talk about, were arrested soon after
the police took young James into Gus
tody.
Jesse James, jr., has been under sur
VIGILANCE of the police since the last Of
the many train robberies in the out
skirts of Kansas City. This was the
robbery Of a Missouri Pacific express
near Leeds on Sept. "a. William Lowe,
Santa Fe Switchman, has been in
custody since five days after the hold
up. Lowe is a native of the Cracker
neck district, just east of this city,
which was made notorious as the hid
ing place Of the first James gang When
close pressed the James boys. the
Youngers, the Ryans and others of the
old gang, always found shelter in the
Crackerneck.
John Kennedy, the locomotive engi-
neer who has been twice arrested in
connection with the more recent train
robberies in Jackson county, is also a
native OF the Crackerneck. Kennedy
and Lowe and young Jesse James are
friends, and though young James has
always borne q good reputation he has
lately been under surveillance with the
others. The police maintain that train
robbing will not be suppressed in Jack
son county until there has been a pu-
riication Of the Crackerneck district,
and all their work since the last rob-
berry seems to have been in this direc-
ton
AT late hour tonight it was report
ed in police circles that the prisoner,
Lowe, had made a confession, and that
1t was upon the strength Of admissions
made h. him that the others were
taken into custody. Further arrests
are expected hourly. Mrs. James,
widow Of the dead bandit and mother
of the young man arrested today, de-
clines - talk with reporters. She has
employed a lawyer, who stated tonight
that haoeas corpus proceedings would
be begun in the circuit court tomorrow
morning, to compel the police to prs-
duce young James or to formally
charge him with crime. The young
mans friends declare that he can cas-
lily prove his whereabouts on the night
Of the robbery. Prominent judges do
not hesitate to denounce the police fol
the arrest.
The arrest has proved a pig sensa-
ton, and there is every indication of
bitter fight between the police and an
influential element in Jackson county.
