With the gradual scattering of the James boys’ band through relentless activities of police and state authori- ties, Jesse James retired to his home at St. Joseph, where for a time he remained undisturbed. Bob Ford, cousin of Jesse and one of the band, most intimate with the feared leader, was persuaded by the authoritise, it {s said, to shoot down the bandit for the promise of im- munity and the large rewards offered.
