But the insects that are singing in

they do considerable damage to trees

stories regarding Frank James, the
one-time bandit Frank James has
died in oregon, California and few
other States, he has gotten religion"
in the East, and he has been active

James is buried,
Brings Citizens Statement.
This is the information that Is
brought to Denver by L. Wright, a
motion picture proprietor, who re-
Gently made a visit to the farm In
Missouri. When he returned he
brought statement with him, signed
by various citizens of Kearney, and
which reads as follows:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
This is to certify that we, the
following citizens of Kearney,
Clay County, Missouri, hereby af-
firm that we are personally ac-
quainted with the original Frank
James, brother of Jesse James,
and that he is now enjoying good
health and is living on the old
James homestead about three
miles northeast Of this city, and
we furthermore state that he is
an honored and respected citizen
of this community.
Il went back to get Mr.. James
opinion regarding law and order" Mr..
Wright said. Il am the proprietor of
set of Jesse James pictures and |
had received the criticism that they
were not moral. l cOntended exactly
the opposite-that they showed the
bad effects of a life of crime. So |
went back to get some expression
from Frank James on 1t. He told me
this
James Maintains Innocence.
eff anyone thinks he can violate
the law and make a success of it, /
consider him insane, and his finish
will be the gallows or the peniten-
tiary'"
Frank James contends that he was
innocent of all the charges of out
lawry placed against him. He points
to his acquittal as evidence.

With flushed face and bowed head,
Lauterbach faced his tormentors as
