One Woman Weeps Over the casket
as 1t Is Taken to Train-Wish Of
Dead Man to Be cremated Is to Be
Ignored.

With the SobS Of one woman follow
Ing it the body Of him who was for a
quarter of century known by number
in the Saltwater penitentfary - Jim
Younger-was yesterday sent beyond
the confines of the state which said he
was legally dead. Dead-from the stand
point of the medical expert-pronounc-
ed dead by the coroner-dead in the
mind Of everybody-Jim Younger was
only a little bit more dead when
shipped for the South yesterday morn
ing than he was when the great state
of Minnesota said he was dead in the
eyes Of the law; that he could enter
into no contract; that he could not
marry; that he could not take out an
insurance policy; that he could not as
sumo the direction Of a business in
which others should put up the money.
II studied enough in those twenty
five years, 1 went deep enough in the
arts and sciences to discount the diplo-
ma of many degree man at the great
universities. I primed my brain in the
library Of the penitentiary. I was
ready to show the world that I was the
equal in learning of many whom it
was supporting, but the world would
not listen.
"Jim Younger is murderer-they
never proved it. Jim Younger is a
robber and a horsethief-they never
proved that. Jim Younger was i'm
plicated in every dastardly deed Of the
James gang-before God swear that
is false. But the world is its own jury
and it evidently has decreed to me to
adopt the gun route
So, in effect, spoke James Younger
to police official before he retired to
his lonely room in the Reardon hotel
and fired a .half-cent's worth Of lead
into his brain.
May Not Be Cremated.
Today the remains of Younger will
arrive in Lee Summit, Mo. The North
Western train which bore the body left
st. Paul yesterday morning at 10
o'clock 1t is undecided whether the
last wish of the former bandit, that his
remains be cremated, will be carried
out. Miss Mueller and his brother Cole
bear witness to the fact that it had
always been his expressed wish that
his body be burned after death, but
other relatives are more inclined to de-
post what is left of Jim Younger amid
the mounds which mark the resting
places of the rest of the Youngers in
the cemetery of Lee Summit, fifteen
miles from Kansas City.
Mrs. Hull Objects.
The DIRECTORS are mainly Mrs. G. B.
Hull, niece, and her husband, who
accompanied the body to Kansas City
yesterday Cole Younger was too sick
to accompany the remains, but through
Chief Of Police John J. O'Connor he
gave suggest tons as to the funeral ar
rangements. No services were held in
st. Paul.
There was just one touching incident
in connection with the transporting Of
the body to Missouri. The permit for
it's removal, tackled on the box which
held the coffin, was almost hidden by
bunch of tube roses. They bore the
name of John J. O'Connor.
