JESSE JAMES ACQUITTED
Son of the Once Notorious Bandit Not
Guilty of Train Robbery.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Feb. 2S.-Young
Jesse James, son of the notorious bandit
whose name he bears, was tonight ad-
judged not guilty of completely in the rob-
berry of a Missouri Pacific express train at
Leeds, in the outskirts of Kansas City. The
robbery which the police accused young
James of leading was committed on Sept.
23 last, and was the last of numerous train
robberies in the outskirts of Kansas City.
The jury was out less than an hour, and
the verdict of acquittal was reached on the
first ballot. The courtroom was packed
with friends of young James. among them
being his uncle, Frank James, of ST. Louis,
and the announcement of the verdict was
the signal for applause and cheering that
neither judge nor bailiffs could suppress. In
returning the verdict of acquittal the jurors
were compelled TO dlScredit entirely the
confession of witness W. w. Lowe, who adj
mitted being a member of the band, and
who described the robbery in every detail,
duplicating as his accomplices young
James and Ryan (Evansl, alias Bill Ryan,
and several others. After returning the
verdict members of the jury stated that
they could not accept the Low confession
or the theory of the police, adding that the
police located James in too many places in
a very brief time, and that they could not
believe that a youth of his years could take
such a part in a train robbery as the police
charged and appear In so many different
