reputation in this community, where
he has lived since he was a child, will
be shown by the defense before it

notorious James brothers, and grand
mother of the defendant. She testified
that she was at the James home on
the night of the robbery and that Jesse
was sitting on the porch with her when
they heard the explosion of the dyna-
mite that wrecked the express safe
Jesse James mother, his sister and the
defendant himself gave testimony to
the same effect.
Mrs. Samuels attracted much atten-
ton in the court room. Mrs. Samuels
carried one empty sleeve, her right arm
having been shot off by detectives who
bombarded her house in attempting to
arrest her notorious sons.
