Tho True Story Is Told
, 5 at last
Quite a Romantic Tale of
Crime.
It Is Belated by the Private Seere
; tary to Governor Crltteudcu
of Missouri.
Attorney FlnU 0, Farr was private
tecretury to T. T. Crittenden when he,
a tlie governor of Missouri, Issued a
proclamation offering big reward for
the apprehension of niemU'r of the
James canir. Said Mr. Farr to a re
porter for the Kansas City Star:
"I nrohahl? know more als.ut tlie
circumstances leading up to the death
of Jesse Jame than any other man.
ttvcept Governor Crlttendeu. I have
-
tu etofore refund persistently to ooi
luiervlewed on the subject, but so
many false stories, have been prlnteit
recently about the "death of the noted
outlaw and about Governor Crltteu
don's conmvtlon with It that 1 am
willing to tell for the first time the ao
tusl circumstance a they liappened.
The latest story I have seen, which
purported to give an aceouiit of tho
ud of Jesse James, wad a Cleverly
written story, but, like all other stories
which I have seen ou the subject, It
was full of Inaccuracies from atari to
flulsh.
"Mr. Crittenden was Inaugurated
governor of Missouri In January, issi,
a short time after his Inauguration
f'P robbtry of the Hook Island train
occurred at Winston, lu this robbery
the conductor of the train and a atone
mason, who wa a ivassengor, were
killed, as wa generally supposed, by
the amen gang. A great tiuintier of
rc:-ot or trains ami nanus mm
been lie In Missouri prior to that
ttme'htmweeedlng governors, sheriffs
and oth,, oftUMals had tried la valu to
. i. .. .
ureas n uie jaunn kuuk.
"Afterlife Winston nbhery theeoru-
plalnta wcro so loud that the state
was being discredited by these rob
beries that Governor Crittenden began
to cast about him to see If there were
any means by whleh the gang could
be rounded up. He came to the eon
elusion that the only way to do It was
to offer a reward large enough to ap
peal to the cupidity of mender of the
gang and bribe them to betray their
chiefs. But the governor's hands were
virtually tied because of the Innde
quatyr of the law, which fixed UM as
the maximum amount of reward thai
could be offered for the apprehension
of a criminal. He knew that It would
be folly to offer a reward of that slo
for the capture of any members of the
James gang. The express coniinles
and railroads, through their roprton
tatlves, had many conferences with
the governor. As a rexult of these con
ferenees, the railroad and express
companies deposited with the governor
enough money to make up the largest
reward ever offered In the world for
the capture of a gang of rotiber, and
Governor Crittenden Issued his famous
proclamation, which has leen n- long
and flagrantly misrepresented by the
press aud people alike. He offered
reward of f IO.imhi each fur the appre
hension of Jesse James, Frank James
Dick Llddle, Wood Hlte, Jim Cum
niings and other members of the.
Jamea gang, and $10,000 additional
was offered for the conviction of either
or both Jesse or Frank James of com
pllelty In the Winston robbery.
"Governor Crittenden did not offer a
reward for the capture, dead or alive
of any member of the gang. He bad
no authority to offer a reward for a
man alive or dead, and there was not
a syllable in the proclamation lndicat
Ing a reward for tho dead body of any
man. 1 sent out hundreds of thoe
printed proclamations In October, 1HS1
and they soon produced the Intended
effect.
"Two of Governor Crittenden's chief
advteers were Sheriff James It. Tim
berlaka of Clay county and II. II
Craig, police commissioner of Kansas
. City. Both were brave, determined
and discreet men.
"Within sixty days after tho lusu
ance of the proclamation Dick Llddle
began to make overtures for surrender
to Tlmberlake and Craig through his
vweethcai't, Mattle Collins, who also
nad an Interview with Governor Crlt
tendon. The result was that Llddle
surrendered to Hherlff Tlmberlake on
terms which required him to asst Jn
the capture of the rest of the gang
"Later Hob Ford, who was living in
Itay county with his uncle, Captain
Ford, went to Sheriff Tlmberlake and
informed him that ho believed Jesse
Jieco was hiding In northwest Mis
sour! somewhere, but did not know
where. He said his brother. Charlie
rord, wag with Jew James, and said
Ford: 'I believe Jesse will be after me
before long to help him hold up some-
tning."
"'limberlnke well knew that Bob
Ford had teen with Jeae James on
more than one expedition, and for that
reason he placed a great deal of rell
ance on what Ford said, especially as
ora seemca anxious to earn the re
ward. He Instructed Ford to go wltn
Jesse If he came after him. He was
to keep llmberlake posted on every
thing that happened, aud when he bad
J ewe James located ho was to notify
Tlmberlake by telegram or mall, so
that a posse could be formed for his
capture.
"Nothinjr was said about the killing
' of Jesse .fumes, nor was It thought of.
"On the night of April 1, 1882, Jesse
JameA r ! up to the house of Cap
tain Forr1 In Kay county, and called
Bob out de. lie told him he hail
work for aim to do and the two rode
away together. The next day Captain
Ford notified Sheriff Tlmberlake that
" :b had j me to St. Joseph with Jesno
V james, a; .1 the sheriff, acting on this
Information, notified the members of
his posse o be ready to go at a mo
ment's i tli'c, and kept a Hannibal
engine r round-house with Bteam
up day' a night, to carry the posw
to St. . . Dick Llddle was to
head tht o j, and he assured Sheriff
Tlin rL: - 'mt he would be the firm

.-. (and up,' said Llddle to the slier
- ?eruor Crittenden was kept In
foru of every move made by Sheriff
Tlmbeii.,ke.
"Several days went by and no word
came from Ford, and then on April
3d, at about 10 o'clock, telegrams were
received by Sheriff Tlmberlake at the
executive mansion In Jefferson City
announcing that Ford had hot and
killed Jowse James. I was alone In
the governor's private ofllce when the
telegram came. It was addressed to
tho governor, but he was In St. Joseph
on business, and I opened It, as I did
all his letters and telegrams Jn hi ab
sence. The telegram read:
"'I have killed Jesse James.
"'St. Joseph. BOB FORD.'
"I Immediately telegraphed the au
thorities at St. Joseph for particulars,
and In reply was Informed that Jesse
James had been shot and. killed by
Bob and Charlie Ford, who had been
arrested and were In Jail. Governor
Crittenden reached Jefferson City
from St Louia on the coon train, and I

Llddle' surrender. Just tln-n Mrs
James came In from the kitchen am
said breakfast was ready. My only
thought then was to hide the paper
from Jesse. Beside me was a chair
with a shawl on It, and as quick as a
dash I lifted If. and shoved the paper
under It. Jesse couldn't have vn
me, but he got up. walked over to the
chair, picked up the shawl and threw
It on the bed. and, taking the psir
went out to the kitchen. I felt that

and then sat down at one end of the
table. Charlie was at the oilier end
and the two children sat one on eacr.

paper on the talde lu front of him am
sort of folded bis hands on it and be
uan to look over the headlines. My
heart went up In my neat, and
couldn't have on ten a bite then to saw

'Hello, here. Th surrender of D

I got up and went Into the front room
again. In a minute I heard Jesse posh

I expected the shooting to begin right
there, and If It bad Jess would have
got me, for I was nervous. But m
came In smiling- and snld pleasantly
"Well, Bob, It's all right, anyway."
" 'Instantly his real purpose Unshed

" 'That Is the story told to us by Bob
Ford and corroborated by Charlie and
others," said Mr. Farr. "I have never
had reason to doubt Its truthfulness."
In 1885 T. T, Crittenden, Jr., son of
Gov. Crittenden, and now clerk of
Jackson county, formed a partnership
with W. B. Phlster and opened a real
estate olTke In Kansas City. They ad
vertised for an ofllce boy and the next

Into small scraps in such a maimer u
to biive no doubt that the dcstrilciion
of the ciimIi was intentional. Karly In
Ihe morning of Ihe twciiiy-elgliih day
of that month two coloied laborers
named Biowu and t'nnipMI were
walking along the shore south of
Twenty fourth street, w hen they no
ticed some scraps of green pajsr blow

ooverou n giHiii many more pieces,
which were distributed for a distance
of a couple of bhs-ks. After some
hour of patient search they had gath
ered enough to represent In a rosjHVt.
able manner two notes for f,MM each,
two moro for f-0 each, knd two for
$10 each.
They took the frngmcnts to the sub.
treasury, supposing that they could
claim the face uilue of the money. Im
agine their disgust when they were In
formed ilia t the fact of having found
It gave them uo title whatever to the
cash. It was evident that they were
honest incii, nnd memoranda of their
story were taken down. 1-ntcr a fish
erman picked up several other pieces
of tho same note on ihe lake front lu
tho same nclghhorlumd, nnd these nlso
were handed In nt the subtreasiiry.
All of them were forwarded to the re
demption division at Washington,
whom they are now held and iiwnltlng
a claimant. They have been pasted
together on shoe! of paper In such a
Mbapo as to show what parts are pre-s-eiit
and what nre missing. There I
not enough left of the tens nnd of tho
twenties to make It practicable to re
deem them ! but the two notes for foOO

to present the requisite evidence, nnd
