There has been considerable of a wrangle over the remains, between H. Hi. Crai Police Commissioner of Kansas City. Sheriff Timberlake, of Clay county, and the local au- thorities, who insisted on seeing the body placed in the keeping of the relatives instead of being taken ‘to | Kansas City. The body was of- ficially turned over to Mrs. James by Coroner Heddens this afternoon, en an order from the grand jury ol Buchanan county and the dispatch of Gov. Crittenden. THE JAM on the depot glatform this evening as the relatives stepped from their conveyance to take the train, was tremendous. Mrs. Samucls was the most conspicious personage in the gan ring crowd. She insisted upon havir official escort from this city, fea that an attempt wotld be made to take the body from the train at Kan- sas City.

THE JAMES’ AND THE esse ames, the murderea out- law, w ve feet eight inches high, compact, yet slender in build: his hair was black, of medium length; his eyes were of piercing blue, shad- ed by dark lashes and heavy eye- brows, while the entire lower por- tion of his face was covered by a full growth of dark brownish whiskers, which were closely trimmed. His complexion was tair and scarcely tarnished by the years of constant exposure to the weather. He was neatly clad in a business suit of cash- | mere, dark brown in color, which fitted with conspicuous neatness his finely-molded figure. He wore a shirt of spotless whiteness, with col- lar and cravat, and more nearly re- sembled a substantial business man than the bandit he undoubtedly was SSASSINS. SHEPHERD'S INTERESTING STORY. Kansas City, April 5.—George Shepherd was interviewed this morn- ing as‘follows Shepherd was one of Quantrell’s lieutenants, participated in the nu- merous —_ erate encounters in which the guerrillas were engaged. and fought side by side with Jesse and Frank James in many a serious con- flict. He was withthe Jameses for nearly five years constantly, and. as | their immediate commander during! much of the guerrilla warfare, knew them as intimately as was_possidle for anybody todo so. Shepnerd was tound at the lumber yard of Baker & Cotesworth, corner of Hick- ory and West Fifteenth streets. where he is engaged as a night watchman. i which can’t be Gov. Crittenden, inclading Mattie! nine pounds n who was once the ir FPRIEND.*ASSOCIATE AND LEADER ofthe 1 rious oys. in answer to a quesuon, he said: ‘In the first place, I won’t believe fesse is until £ see him or somebody whe knows and has seen him since death.’ “Why no “Weill, [know Jesse James too well to. believe ‘that he would be caught na apping- Besides, there are plenty of people who claim to know jhim who have met him tme and again and failed to recognize him. But if Jesse is dead there wouldn’ t| be no trouble in identitying him. for he has bullet wounds on his body two wou inches apart “Did you really believe YOU KILLED JESSE in, Mo., in 3579, when you on that expedition under direc- ex-) I] Liggett? death until about cight months ago, when. a friend of mine, who T knew knew Jesse. talked wi eee on the back of his head.’ “It you one him, why is ityou have | never had any trouble ‘bout it?’ “There is nothing funny aboutthat both Frark and jesse have got too | kle a man in his own house that can shoot as good as much sense to they can * ‘Have you known anything of the doings or whereabouts of the Jameses of late? ‘No. Two years ago I went on a visit to Nelson county, Ky., and called at the house of Don Pence. [tearned from Pence that Frank had been visiting him, and had the night before my arrival left tor Nashville. Tenn. [ was un- | while ther der the impression then THAT L HAD KILLED JESSE and went to Kentucky on purpose to put an end to Frank. Since that i time L haven,t known anything about cas- either Jesse or Frank, except Pence’s wite was a wife’s uneasiness about his safety. Mrs. JAM had told) Mrs. Pen Frank’s custom to ~ ve expe stant mi law made rlir her him TO MOVE TO TEXAS, £ ‘and they were on their way to the ‘Lone Star State’ when they made | this visit to the Pences. Mrs. Pence | also told me that FRANK JAMES WAS WORTH ABOUT $100,000. | That is the iast positive mformation | about Frank.’ ‘What is your opinion of the two j men?’ ‘Well, my opinion is ble; in fact Jesse can’t compa with him. Frank is a man ot educ tion and can act the refined gentl man on all occasions. Jess is re less and a regular daredevil in cour- /age, butit’s Frank that makes all the plans and perfects the methods | ot escape. Jess is a fighter, and! that’s all. Why, he can hardly read or write, and these stories about his writing to the Kansas City papers and the Nashville Banner is all stuff. If any letters were ever written Frank wrote them, and Jess may have sign- ed his name to them.’ ‘Why is it, then, that Jesse gets all the credit for leading in all the robberies ‘Oh, because Frank is quite a gen- tleman and would rather not be | known, so he directs Jesse, and Jess | directs the crowd. He likes notori- ety and always takes care to let the) people know he 1s the leader, and | he always enjoyed the reading of his | exploits i in the papers.” ‘What is the personal appearance ot the Jameses ?” ‘Frank would pass for a man ot wealth anywhere. He has ple manners, is very quiet, and talks low. He has light blue eves sandy hair, and wears a Close cut, reddish, sandy full beard, is about five feet eight inches high, and weighs about 1 145 pounds. Jess is larger and coarser than Frank,weighs 160 or 175 pounds, has dark brown hair and Peace! eyes.” ‘Do you believe that the James boys were driven to outlawry 7’ o, I don’t think there was any driving about it. They could have stopped and gone away from this part of the country thesameas! did. They could have stayed away sever- al years, then returned to Missouri and settled down without trouble, if wiped out.

They will go on just as they have all along. The fact that Jesse is dead rouldn’t stop them any morg than Little’s dese tion.’ *Do you think FRANK WILL AIL! these Ford boys *He might ithe ever has a x opportunity. but I don’t think t is any likelihood of his hun up for that purpose. | “*How do the James boys disguise ‘themselves when they are traveling around ?” *They don’t make any attempt to disguise, except te go under differ- ent names.
