Is Jesse James dead or alive?



Item # 700277

November 08, 1879

ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Nov. 8, 1879 

* Outlaw Jesse James
* False death report


Page 4 has: "The United Bandits" which is a follow-up to a report that Jesse James had been killed. One bit notes: "...has before, fully satisfied that a struggle had taken place...No traces of blood could be seen, however & nothing was learned of the disposition of the remains of the notorious outlaw, if he is really dead...". He in fact would not be killed until April, 1882.
Other crime related reports as well (see photos). Twelve pages, nice condition.
