There a few words of ostensible greeting. Gestures of and again the party split. Three men Rode away together but after song a Short Way they separated each taking an individual position a few Hundred feet from the Bank. From these posts they were Able to observe the actions of citizens and detect any movement of a hostile kind. The nine others Rode to the Corner of the Bank building where the door was located.

Though Jesse was not on horseback anywhere upon that specific Day beg Flat on his Back at Home in bed there clings to the authentic history Rotthe raid one incidental episode suggesting his pres ence and participation. Jesse James was of a Jolly sort say what you May. One adds not ing to the myth supporting his alleged heroism when one states the Plain and proved fact that Jesse did most dearly love his Little joke. Apparently no situation in which he Ever found himself involved was too deeply tragic to turn him aside from his lifelong propensity for cracking to the Robbe Joko when the robber who entered the Bank vault and helped himself were exposed to these seven did not the streets.

The cashier and his Eon rushed to the windows and yelled out that the Bank was being robbed. Already the actions of the mounted men Hac aroused suspicion. Several citizens had appeared in the open wonder ins what was happening. The outcry by the Birds changed forthwith the scene outside. There was immediate and excited running to., and fro on the part of citizens there was sudden galloping up and Down Street by the horsemen. Also there was shooting promiscuous intentionally wild by the e raiders to frighten off anybody who might in interfere with the remounting of the two Active participants in Flie loot ing. Also that most terrifying of All sounds heard on the Border the re Bel guerrilla yell was ripping through the february air. Poor Jolly Wymore Jolly Wymore at this moment was standing just across the Street from the Eastern Side of the Bank. He had paused in his walk toward the College to witness the actions of the mounted men. Apparently he did understand the situation. It was not until the Bank officials gave the alarm that Young Wymore became aware. The youth started o run Arcy ind the Corner probably Etc Ndang to carry to men n places of business.

According to doubtful authority. Red monkeys. And Bud Pence the latter a relative of the James Brothers others whom suspicion fixed upon. They like Bill Chiles made themselves scarce in Missouri. Ivor years it was believed by Many Cia y count lans that Cole younger was one of the robbers. On a visit to Liberty i was informed that younger some years after the Bank raid paid a visit to his Uncle the Hon. Thomas Coleman who served at times in the and was a leading citizen of Liberty. Cole denied it Cole were you or were not a. Member of the Sang that robbed the savings Bank inquired he Uncle looking his namesake str Lgth. In the eyes. Uncle replied the Nephew Eye to Eye with the Hon. Or. Cole Man. I. Was considerate Reader you May take that denial for what you May count it Worth. I happen to know that there were very Many times when Thomas Coleman younger told the truth like Ordinary mortals As Well Afi certain other times when he lied like an extraordinary Renneman. One of these latter , for in stance was when to told inquirers that the Tojyo bandits who escaped from Minnesota after the raid on the Bank at Northfield in 1876 were not the James boys. Of course Frank and Jesse a re accused though not officially of participation in the Liberty Job. Frank James was in Kentucky at the time according to friends who constructed a. Alibi for him.
