able on account of the character of the
men who lent him their moral support
to free him. These included the Clerk
of the Jackson County Court, the
cashier of one of the strongest banks
of Kansas City, the venerable Judge
of a division of the Circuit Court,
leading member Of the Kansas City
School Board, the head of one of the
largest departments of great pack

The face of Jesse James, Jr., is very
much of the cast of his fathers before

the crown was too wide and too high

Jesse James has been legally acQuit-

fact that he is now free man largely
through the moral influence Of men
who stood by him and with him be-

time and viewed it as a legitimate
business, rather than as what it is?

Lucas took place at the Vermont Ave.
Baptist chvrch on March 18TH at two
O'Clock.
Notwithstanding the threatening

qualities, possessing the power to
charm all she came in contact with by
her amiable, quiet and sedate manner

she came i'm contact. 1t can be truly
said, 'none knew but to love her. I"
Her chief aim in life was to educate
her children TO such standard that
they may be able to obtain living
not only by hand but by pen and Skill.
Having accomplished her purpose to
such an end, as to see her last child
OH the vefy eve of the pinacle for
which she strove so hard, the mighty
hand of disease laid Seige on her, and
after struggle with the fatal disease
for nearly year the angel OF death
claimed her as his own.
She leaves husband, FIVE children;
Robert, Thomas, Minnie, Ada, Louise
and Lottie Lucas and host of friends
to moan their lost.
The floral tributes were both nu-
merous and beautiful. Mrs. Lucas
was a good wife and loving
mother. She was loved by her chill
dren and respected by her friends.
The sermon by Rev. Geo. w. Lee was
impressive and eloquent. The scene
at the cemetery was sad which caused
tears to flow from the eyes of those
who witnessed 1t.
