We were all exhausted. people had recovered from their ex- citement. Unfortunately for us, we had miacalculated. As we rode up and down the street they began popping at us. We returned the fire, taking care at first to hit no one. Fi- nally two of us were shot from our horses, and myself and Jim had both receiyed wounds. Riding up to the bank door, I shouted to the boys within to hurry out, as the game was up. Atthat moment Bob stepped from the door and mounted his horse. He was soon followed by a companion, and then, just as,the third man came running out, with revolver in hand, we heard a shot within the house, but paid no at- tention to it, never thinking any- body but us had been hurt. As we wheeled to leave Bob received a bul- let and fell to the ground with his horse, which was also wounded. Dismounting, I lifted him up behind me, and at full gallop we dashed out of town, leaving two of our party dead in the streets. Who were they? The detectives have claimed to identify them, but we have never said who they were. Then came the long pursuit of two weeks over a country made up of little marshes. The country was in arms against us, and finally we had to abandon horses and take to our feet. PURSUIT AND CAPTURE. Our suffering during that chase of more than 100 miles I cannot de- scribe. All of us were badly wound- eh during the fight at Northfield and endured untold agonies from ex- posure, for it was cold and raining most of the time. I had to nurse Bob, who had a bullet in his hip that gave him great trouble. Then the alarm had spread beyond us, and our pursuers, using the railroad, had got in advance. We pressed through their guards at Mankato and made for the country to the southwest. Hunger drove us to the farm houses for food. It was daily growing more serious. An army seemed to surround us. We decided to separate. The two men who fi- nally escaped pushed on ahead, while I and Jim remained to nurse Bob and the other also badly wounded. man who was Then came the capture near Ma- I had eleven wounds, Bob four and Jim seven or eight. The fourth man fell dead at the first fire, with a bul- let through his heart. It was useless to resist longer, and so calling out to the officers I told them that we were shot to pieces and wanted to surrender. ‘The man killed at Ma- delia was the one who shot Heywood inthe bank at Northfield. After leaving Northtield he told us that as he was leaving the bank Heywood ran to the desk to get a gun, and, without taking aim, he fired back andran out. We did not know Heywood had been killed until after our capture.” “That man was identified as Char- lie Pitts, was he not?” “We have never said who he was. After our capture we determined to say neither or nay to any questions, for fear we might be betrayed into saying something we didn’t want to. The men in our party had respected relatives living at home, and should we have given any names it would have caused these innocent people disgrace and bitterness. The book- makers and newspapers have said so many cruel things about the so-call- ed James gang that it is better for us to keep our own counsel. Many crimes of which we were innocent have been Jaid at our door, when it was known that we were far away at the time. Why, in that big express rob berry, which occurred since we have been here, they had Jim Cummings as one of the participants. when I knew positively that he was then dead.” “It has always been said that Jesse latin. | who got away are also dead. Only! we three remain, and we are suffer- ting a living death.” “Jesse James is dead and anything you might say would not be likely to disgrace his relatives,” was sug- gested. “I can only repeat,” replied Young- er, after having weighed the ques- tion in his mind for fully a minute, “that the party is all dead except the Youngers. That's as far as I can go. Although our friends are gone we still owe an obligation to their surviving relatives not to speak their names. It would hurt innocent peo- ple and do no good.” “Do yoa think any of you will be pardoned?” “T have little hope, and have not allowed myself to be deceived in the face of stern reality that constantly presents itself. Bob is very sick— daying—and it would be an actof mercy to let him pass his remaining days in freedom. The poor boy has not been bad although they charged him with the most heinous crimes hefore he was 16 years old. I don't see why all of us have not some claims to clemency. Since we have been here 20 life men have been par- doned. Some of them committed the most horrible murders, and for only afew dollars. Yet the are allowed to go, and tne average sentence they have surved is only half as long as we have been here. I don’t think that the fact that sensational stories have been told of us that we should be treated different from other men. I fear ‘though that it will takea gov- enor with the nerve of a Lincoln or a Jackson to pardon one of the Young- er boys. There is some movement on foot. Friends we have made here have kindly spoken of us, and we learn they contemplate circulat- ing petitions. This is through no effort or suggestion on our part. SUFFERING SILENTLY AND WITHOUT. “We have asked nothing for our- selves since we have been here. I cannot tell how such a movement would result. We have nothing— not a dollar. If we had money, and could pay people to urge the petitions the movement might possibly be successful. As it is I have little hopes that we will ever leave this prison.” “Have you ever been beyond the walls since you were received here?” “Only once; at the time of the fire. We walked up the street with the deputy, and when it was suggested that we be manacled, he positively refused to go with us if we were put in irons. He had no fear that we would try to escape, and such an Intention has always been furthest from our thoughts. But for my failure to obtain amnesty, I never would have been here. In 1875 my friends (among them Montgomery and Frank Blair, B. Gratz Brown, Gen. Joe Shelby and Gen. Shields) proposed an act in the Missouri Legislature granting me amnesty. I asked only to be forgiven for what I had done during the war. My intentions was then to return to the State and offer myself for trial on any charge that might be brought against me. “The amnesty bill on account of three votes, and those three votes came from three ex-confederates in the Legislature, members from Gal- Although it was well known that Jesse James and Jim White commited that Gallatin bank rob- bery, still it was charged to the Youngers. At that time I was in Houston, Texas, and this fact was known to over 100 persons. About this time the Iowa train robbery, in which three men were killed, occur- ed, and this also was urged against me. At that time, I with Bob, was at the Mardi Gras Springs, in Wes- tern Missouri. While the matter was pending in the Legislature I was down in Jacksonville Fla. What- ever has since occured was due to iB. B.

Nat'l B’k ee Contagious Blood Poison Is the constitutional blood disease which has for several centuries past been infesting mankind with its an- noying features and destructive re- sults, and is now the great bane of the human race.
