ious duspomilo Jcscu Juntas. Jemo mid
Frank Junius nro now almost tlio ouly
onus loft of tlio old bands of doxpuru
lous whuo namo wns a terror through
out tlio Missouri valleys for J cars. Tlio
lumen ami Younger brothers worked
together for a long time, and perpetua
ted a series of daring roliberle.n and
atrocious murders Hint made thorn fa
mous lu tlto criminal hlstoiy of the
West and Southwest, hut since tlio
Xorthlleld robbery, three ycais ago,
which terminated in the killing of two
or threu of tlio ruffians, and the perma
nent retirement ot three of tlio Young
cm to (he privacy of pculteutlury life,
the rest of tlio mob have beu leading
conipnr.it Ire unlet lives. The only
deed of ('ousuipicitco with which t liny
liavu been idcntlltad since the Minnesota
mishap was the (iiendale train robbery
on Lhu Chicago and Alton a couple ol
years ago, ami but for the occurrence) or
the Hock Island train robbery they
might soon hive boon forgotten. Frank
James, It Is understood, is living on ids
cnttlo ranch in tlio pau-liaudle of Texas,
and trying to bchav himself, or, at
least, restrain from ids brutal passions
to certain degree; but his brother
Jesse is too restless and Improvident a
man ever to bo anything else than an
outlaw. lie has been bred to tlio bust'
ness of cilmo, and It is i-oeonil nature to
murder and rob. Although he lias
made a largo sum of money by his nu
.morons robberies, he has not boon ao:o
to retain any of it, and parties who have
fieen hint in nn around Kansas City dur
ing the past few months say he was
"down at tlio beel," and in a bad shape
tlnaneially. He is an inveterate and
bard samblcr, and diligent pursuit of
that line of business has reduced bun to
(Hiimry almost.
The opinion is liwlil by many that the
Winston spoliation' was not done by
Jcsio James, or under his guidance, but
Iiv greou hands. Accounts seem to
jigreo that it was nu awkward and
' llMNDKUlNd 1UKCB OK WOKK,
And for that icason it is urged that it
'iiiuso-havo been tlio deed of lipprciitiVcM.
Mr. Joseph K, Dickey; of Missouri, win
is familiar with tlio methods ami the his
toiy of the Jameses and Younger, en
tertains the theory that the depredation
was committed by novices, and in nu
interview with a reporter for the Timet
lie gave his reason for so thinking
"The job was so blunderingly done,'
lie said, " us to proclitic the idea that
veterans could havo anything to do with
it. The robberies ptrpetatcd by the
Jameses and Youngers were generally
;ind I may ay, almost invariably plum
nod carefully and executed with skill,
They were prcculed by sonic nice do-
tectivo work, and it was very seldom
that they struck blindly or at random
The Jameses had a way of knowing
when valuable packages were about to
lie shipped, and on what trains they
were to bo forwarded, so that when
they uindu a descent tlioy captured
liooty thxt paid them well for tlio risk
takon. Tills time there was not enough
money on tlio train to uiako it worth
tvliilo for eight or ti men to pass
through all the trouble and danger of
"topping and going through a train for
it.. If the accounts of the affair I have
seen are to bo relied on, tlio robber
were about as bally frightened as any
(rt tho passengers, ,-uid fled without half
doing their work, leaving tho passon
crs untouched."
The polieo hero, however, arc firmly
convinced ihat

and enrried it through, and at I'inker-

le held. Francis Warner, tlio Superlii

wlio know a great leal about thoso

little doubt that Jwe James was the

Tho I'lnkertoiHi luwo had a vnrifst ex.
pcrlcncu In running down tlm Yonngcr
and James freebooters, ami tlicy nro
thoroughly ncquittnted with their career
ot crlmo and bloodshed. In n chat
with a Times man 11 few days slnco, Mr.
Hilly" I'lnknrton related mnny passa
ges In their history, which will be road
with interest at tills tlmo. Much of It
has been given to tho public at differ
ent times, but now that tho laud pirates
havo ugalu niadu their nppearaneo, it
becomes now. Tho facta jrlvun arc pre
sented below.
"THE OANO
was mndo up originally," began Mr.
Pinkcrtoti, "of Jesse James, Frank
James, Cole, James and John Younger,
Tompkins, McDanlels, Clcl. Miller and
Arthur McCoy. They had acquired nn
upputlto for plunder and crlmo during
tho war, when they served under Qunn
troll, Anderson tho 'Swamp Fox and
tther noted guerilla loaders ot tho Mis
souri vnlloy. After tho war they kept
on with their lawless work, but did
nothing thai brought thorn Into nation
al notoriety until they robbed a bunk at
Ellzabcthtown, Ky., In 1868 or 1669, 1
believe It was. This wn followed by
Uio robbery ot tho Columbia bank, In
tho satire State In both Instances tho
deed was dotio lu the snmo way. The
Youngers mid Jameses roilo up to the
bunk 011 horsos, and while two or three
of their number went in, overpowered
tho bank oflicers and got away with tho
booty, tho others remained on tho out
fide shooting off their revolvers and
kcwpliig tho streets clear. At Colum
bia they killed tho cashier of the plun
dered bank. Thuy next turned up in
Missouri, where thoy robbed a bank at
St. Genovleve, Killing dipt. Sheet.,
llio ilist connection wo had with the
gang was after tho Corydon, Iowiv, bank
robbery, which followed upon tlio heels
Of the Gouovlovo episode. There was
a political gathering of so mo kind at
Corydon, when tha gang rode Into
town, captured tho bunk and about ten
thoimaud dollars hi currency, and took
their departure with tho utmost cool
ness, loudly cursing tho d d Yanks'
for cowards as tbev left. Robert A.
I'iiikertmi was dhpatehed to tho scene,
and, together with a number of citizens,
followed tlio raiders to tlio Missouri
line. Tho Inwniis abandoned tho search
at tills point, and ltnVurt went on alone.
IIo traced them to Itluo Mill ferry over
tho Missouri, on tho border of Clay
county, and spent several days lu the
vicinity acquainting himself with tho
history of tho men who were engaged
in the expedition. During tho progress
ot his investigation ho visited tho hoii-o
of Mrs. Samuels, the mother ot the
Jamrs brothers, and called 011 several
parsons who wcro more or less Inti
mately connected with tho gang. lie
fulled to gel Imld of much Information
of value. Willie looking abo'nt'be ran
across an old woman who warned him
that
HK WAS lli:iN(l SHADOWKI)'
by a tall, power ul man with red wills
kets, who intended to kill him If ho got
troublesome, lloboit was n young fol
low thou mid quite boyish In appear
ance, a fact which warmed tho old wo
mini to hir. 1 ho tail muii turned out
to bo Arthur MaCoy, 0110 of tho most
ferocious of the James gang. Soon af
terward the bank determined to give up
the hunt and Hubert returned home
"This was In 1871, 1 believe. Tlio
plunderers, soon alter tho Corydon ox
plolt, turned rord agents, and a scries
of stage robberies in Southern Missouri
nnd Arkansas uro laid to their credit.
They did quite a business 111 tlio neigh
borhood of Hot Spslngs, nnd after 0110
of their boldest opt rations lu this line,'
thev Jumped across tho country to,
Gad's Hill, a station on tho Iron Moun
tain railroad. Hero they stopped a
train, robbed nil lhu passengers nnd
carried off tlio contents of the safe in
tho express car. The Gad's Hill case
was put into our hands. I was in Eu
rope at tho time, but the case was lu
progress on my return. Tho gang wns
traced to St. Clair county by tho man
who was sent on to make a prelimina
ry report, and thoru the membeis scat
tered, tho Youngers remaining in that
county and tho Jameses proceeding to
Clay county, wlioio they, lived. Oper
atives were detailed to go into the re
spective vicinities to obtain Ovidou'cu of
tlio guilt or Innocence of tlio pm.tles
charged with tho robbery. Cup?.' Louis
J. Lull and John Hoylo wpro sent to St.
Clair county, nnd J. W. Wllehor wits
dispatched to Clay county, tynll nesu
mod tlio namo of W. J. Allen, and Boylo
that of W. J. Wright. Tho tectivcs
wero not expected to make uiiyjiirrosts,
their duty merely being to look lA'or tho
ground nnd roport whnt thoyMcould
learn. Witcher went to KansaS City,
whero ho changed his clothes add ap
pearance and assumed tho disguise of a
farmer, having previously urdon
tl his
hands in order to butter persomlo the
character. On bis arrival at Llb( ky, a
village near tho homo of tho 1 Panics
beys, ho made sonic InqnHos jHiich
must havo attrnctcd tho (tyontion of
somo of tho friends of tho outlaws.
This was a fatal error, nnd was con
trary to speclllo Instructions, which
woro to make no Inquiries. From
Liberty, Witehor stavted out ostotm
bly to find employment. IIo pro
ceeded to Kearney, from which point
ho made his last report, detailing
what ho had done, and stating that ho
was on tho point of starling 011 foot
to tho James' farm near by. As wo
learned subsequently, ho reached the
house shortly after dark, rapped at tho
door and was invited lu by Mrs. Sam
uels. Ho hud Kcnrecly begun to state
lilc nitiiiii iiMimi hi u-iw mm niul iinnii
I by Frank Junius nnd CI el Miller, over-
powered nnd bound. An nttompt wns
made to extort a confession from him
that ho wns a detective, but this ho re
fused to do nnd adhered to Ids origin
al story. They woro ttnablo to got any
thing from htm, but, bolng convinced
thnt ho was nn enemy, they determined
to put hint out of tliu way. Not wish
ing to commit a murder In their own
house, which would onllst tho authori
ties ot their own county 111 nn effort to
capturo them, tlioy bound tho opornttvu
upon n hon?o nnd took him to llluu
Mill ferry. Arousing tho forrymun,
they Intnrmcd him thoy wero deputy
Sheriffs nnd thnt their prisoner wns a
horse-thief, llo accordingly consented
to tako the party across tho river, and
lid so. In relating the story afterward
tho ferryman stated that tho prisoner
was mounted on a gray horse, nnd thnt
ho did not say a word. If tho ferry
man told tho truth, Witehor must havo
been gasged as well ns bound, or
ho would have disclosed his identity.
Noliodv can over know whi ther ho told
tho truth or not. Tho next morning
Witchcr's body was found on tho road,
three miles from Independence, Jack
son county, not far from tliu ferry, with
two bullet hwles In his head. Tho first
wo know of Ids denth wut a tolegrnm
In tho Times tollluir of a mysterious
murder that had occurred neat' lude-
pendonco. An opuratlvu that was sent
brought tho body homo, nnd it wns
buried In Allan I'lnkcrtonV lot in Grace-
land.
"Word wns Iminedintoly sent to
Capt. Lull to bo on his guard, but be
fore ho received it ho had fallen In witu
MuDanlols, a dopHty-horlff, to whom
ho intrusted tlio secret of his namo and
business. McDanlels wain trusty fel
low and a bravo man.
Tho three, McDanlels, Hoylo nnd
Lull, determined to work together.
Thoy mudotip iholr minds to visit tlio
Younaers, near Monegraw Sprlngs,und
tho hotter to carry out their purpose
and avoid suspicion, Hoylo and Lull
n-sumed theguiso ot lnnd-buycrs. Ar-
nvlHg in tliu Younger neighborhood
tho pm ty stopped at tlio placo of Owen
Snolffer, a former friend of tho outlaws.
They made somo inquiries relating
to tho piirehnso of land, nnd s:eing no
body loit. When thoy had gone about
a hall a mile thoy heard tho sound of
horses' hoofs on tho road behind them,
and looking around thoy beheld two
mounted hototnen approaching rap
idly.
'MY tlOD'
exclaimed McDanlels, lt is John nnd
Jim Younger.' Thoy wero nrimd
with doublcd-barrelled shot guns. Xot
expecting an attack, tlio detective lot
them ride alongside, when tho loung
ers commanded them to halt and throw
up their handb. Hoylo put spurs to his
horse and lied, Jim Younger pursuslng
liini a distanco and firing "at liiin with
out effect. John Younger kept Lull and
McDanlels covered with his gun and
ordered them to drop their bolls, 'wbieh
they did. IIo thou shot and killed I ho
Deputy-Sheriff, when Lud diow a sma 1
Snilih & Wesson revolver from his
boi-oni and fired at tlio murderer, tho
bullet striking lilm in tho nock and cut
ling Ids jugular. Heforo falling from
ids horso John Younger discharged the
remaining barrel of his gun, scatter
ing Lull's bridle arm with bucks-hot.
Jim Youngor returned when he hoard
tliu shooting, nnd shot at Lull, who re
turned tho flro, wounding tho despor
do lu the side. At this point his horse
became unmanageable, mid before ho
could got control of tho animal tliu re
maining Younger shot him In the back.
This was tho closo ot the battle. Lull
was canted to Chalk Lovcl by somo
colored people who found him a few
hours after the light. Allan Pinkcrtoti
sent H. J. Linden, now superintendent
of tho Philadelphia agency, on to tako
euro of Lull, and Linden changed the
doctor and brought nu old army surgeon
from u point twenty miles distant to
attend him. Tho wounded man got
along nicely, nnd wns on thu rond t
recovery when ho caught a cold and
1111:11
from congestion in a few hours. Wo
weio getting ready to bring him home
when tho change in his condition oc
curred. . Tlio living Younger sworo
tho Captain should never luivo the
country alive. Tlio body lies In tho
Maso'nio buryiiig-grnund near this city.
"Soon after this tho Kxpres3 compan
ies, concluding that tlio robbors had
been frightened enough to make thum
hohave, withdrew from tho prosecu
tion of tho case. Allan I'inkorton thou
took up the matter nnd expended 810,
000 of his own money trying to bring
tht mnrnudors to justice.
"Tho noxt exploit of tho gnng wns to
rob tho olllco of tho Treasury ot tho
Kunsns City fair grounds lu 1874 or
1875. Thov rodo up to tho office In
broad daylight, presented tholr revolv
ers to. tho heads of the men in charge
and took tho receipts of tho day,
amounting to about 87,000. There
wero probably 10,000 pcoplo on tho
grounds at tho time, Capt. 1). L. Hall,
Superintendent of thu Chicago Driving
Association, wits manwior of tlio Fair
Ground Association, mid ho must havo
a lively recollection of fife ndvonturo.
"Upon tho heels of this occurred tho
robbery of Corinth, Mis and of a
train on tho Kansas Pacific nt Muncie,
n small station near Kansas City. Tho
Youngers (Robort having joined the
gang In Mio meantime) assisted by
somo of their old guerrilla friends, rob
bed tho Corinth bank, and made their
o-eapo Into the Missouri swamin. and
and Youngers nnd thu Jameses did the
Mlinelo train l-oldim-v."
"Thu gang noxt turned up In West
Virginia, where thoy

I soon aflnnvjird. John MolCcau, 01.0 of
tho lot wns token with $2, 100 of tho
money on ids person nnd wns given
fourteen years. Tomklns MeDanlels,
nnother member of tho gang was shot
and mortally wounded by James Dillon
while resisting arrest.
"Some time subsequent to tho Guild's
IIIII robbery nn offort was made to ar
rest tho James brothers nt their homo
nenr Carnoy. Their honso wns sur
rounded by 11 pnrty of men said to havo
been l'lnkorton's detectives. A ball of
flro was thrown Into tlm house from tho
outside to' light It up. Tho premises
were senrched, nud when tho parly left
Dr. Samuels threw thu ball of lire into
tlio firc-plneo, whero it exploded, Injur
ing a son of Mrs. Samuels by the doc
tor so that ho died, nnd tearing one of
Mrs. Samuels' bunds off. It has been
charged thnt I lud thU expedition. This
is not truo. Tho court record-) estab
lish tho fact that I was lu Chicago at
tho tinio ns a witness In an important
ease. I will say right hero, too, that
none of the I'inkorton men were there.
The men who did Uko part In it would
bo in dunger of their lives if their Iden
tity wero known, and to protect them
selves they gavo the credit of tho net to
I'inkcrton's aconey. Tho Jameses wcro
led to suspect that Daulcl Askew, who
lived on an ndjolning farm, hnd fur
nished tho luvmllng parly Information,
and soon aftur tho attack hu was shot
down whllo ho wns going from his
house to a spring for a pale of wnter. It
has been Mild that conductor West fall,

that occasion. Wo know nothlugof

THi: ,101'I.IN BANK ItOIIllKltr
perpetrated by thu Youngers and .fames
boys and Hobs Gary, Hill Stiles and

train robbery on tho Atlantic and Pa
cific road, and sovrral stagu robberies
a 10 included lu thu lUt of outrages from
187IS up to tho time of thu Xorthlicld
bunk robbery.
This job wns undertaken under tho
guidance of Stiles, a desperate charac
ter, well acquainted In that locality.
They road up In their usual stylu and
took pot-session of tho bank. Jesse
James killed Cashier Haywood in cold
blood for refusing to open the raul:. It
happened tobo-lu the midst of the
chlekcn-shooting season, and everybody
who come to town was around with a
shot gun or rifle. The outlaws hud
coiisldorablo difficulty in getting out of
town, ami for the first limu they met
witli something like an o'-gaul.ed re
sistauco. Clol Miller and Hill Chadwell wero
loft dead In tho street and fovcral oth
ers were hurt. Thoy wero pursued
into a swamp, where Stiles, alias Pitt,
was killed, nnd Jesse James ami all
three of tho Yocngors wero wounded.
Frank and Ji-sso James mado tlielr es
cape into Dakota, but the Youngers
wero captured. Josso was seriously hurt
but ho managed to pull through, and
eventually thu brothers made their way
back to Missouri. Tho Youngers plead
ed guilty and uro now curving life sen

to get out soon. The particulars of

This Is, in hrict, nil I know of tho tribe,
though Mr. Warner and myself might
