Frank James at Mount Vernon fair talks of the old days
Missouri’s Frank James brother of Jesse James, aged sixty three, drew crowds at a Mount Vernon Indiana fair last week while starting races. He avoids discussing his criminal past, recalls a quiet life at the Clay county homestead, and says he was tried and acquitted by state and federal courts. He keeps a Bible, reads often, and lives simply on his old farm away from controversy.
