ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Aug. 26, 1883 

* Outlaw Frank James
* Jesse James gang
* Gallatin, Missouri trial


The top of pg. 2 has column heads: "Giving Away The Gang" "Dick Liddell [Liddil] on the Witness Stand at Gallatin" "Full Details of His Connection with the James Boys" "How the Winston Train Robbery was Planned & Executed" and more. Three columns of text with a fine & very detailed account of the murder trial of Frank James, brother of outlaw Jesse James. The report begins: "The hearing of testimony in the case of the state vs. Frank James, charged with the murder in the first degree, was resumed..." with much, much more. Some of the subheads include: "How Liddell Looks" "Counsel For the State" "Opinion of The Court" "Frank & Jesse" "Liddell's Testimony" "Captured a Couple" "Jesse Was Killed" "Plan for the Robbery" "Jesse Got Sick" "We Went to Kansas City" and even more.
Dick Liddil was an outlaw & member of the Jesse James Gang, and the Winston Train robbery was one of their escapades.
An interesting & unrelated article on pg. 4 is headed: "Western Outlaws" "A Band of Cowboys Organized for the Purpose of Kidnapping the President" "Half a Million Ransom to be Demanded..." and more (see).
Sixteen pages, rejoined at the spine, very nice condition.
