THE MURDERED OUTLAW THE STATE OFFICERS PREVIOUSLY ARRANGING FOR THE KILLING. MOT DOWN -WITH A RIFLE WHICH HE GAVE TC HIS THREATS OF BIS FRIENDS r- GOT. CRITTENDEN'S AR-RANGXMKJJT WITH ROBERT FORD. Sx. Joseph, April The following are the particulars of the shooting of Jesse James yesterday: After having eaten breakfast, Jesse Raines and Charles Ford vent to the stable te I curry the horses, and, on returning to the room where Robert rrd vu, Jesse said: "It's an awf ally hot day." Be palled off his ooat and Test and tossed them on tbe bed.

Then he said: "I guess I'll take off my pistols for fear somebody will see them If I walk In the yard." He unbuckled the i belt In which he carried two 43-oallbr revolvers, ne a 8mlth Wesson and the other a Colt, and laid them on the bed with his coat and vest. He then picked a dusting-brush, with the Intention of dusting some pletnres whioh hung on the walL In order to do this he got on a chair, his back being how turned to the brothers, who silently stepped between Jesse and his revolvers, and. at a motion from Charlie, both drew their runs. Robert was the quicker of the two. In one motion he bad the long weapon on a level with his eye, with the muzzle not more than -four feet from the back of the outlaw's head.

Even in i mac motion, quicr as thought, there was some- I AV 1 .1 a a cuiuK wmcu aia not esoape toe acute ears of the bunted man. He made a motion as If to turn his bead to ascertain the cause of that suspicious found, but too lute. A nervous pressure on the trigger, a Quick flash, a sharp report, and the well-directed ball crashed through the outlaw's skull, a bere was no outory just a swaying of the body, and it fell heavily back upon tne carpeted floor, the ball having entered the base of the skull and made its way out through the forehead over the left eye. It had been fired out of a Colt's "46" Improved weapon, silver mounted and pearl-handled, which bad been presented by the dead Sau to his slayer only a few days ago. r.

James was In the kitchen when the snooting was done, separated from the room la which tne tragedy occurred bv the dining-room. She beard the shot and, dropping her household duties, ran Into the front room. She saw her husband lying on his back, and his slayers, each holding his revolver in his hand, making for tbe fenee in the rear of the bouse. Robert had reaohed the Incisure and was In Uie act of scaling It, when she stepped to the door and called to him: "Robert, you have done this; pome back." Robert answered: "I swear to God I did not," They then returned to where he stood. Mrs.

James ran to the side of her husband and lifted up bis bead. Life was not yet extinct, and when she asked him If he were butt it teemed to her that be wanted to say something but could not She tried to wash away the blood that was coursing over his face from the hole in his forehead, but It seemed to her that the blood came faster than she oould wash It away, and In her arms Jesse James died. Mrs. Samuels, the mother of the dead outlaw, arrived here at 9:48 this morning from her home la Clay County. Sae is a lanre woman, 67 years of aire, with black balr well sprinkled with gray.

She was inoredulous, upon her arrival, about the dead man being ber son Jesse, and was not fully couvtnced until she was driven to bis late residence, where she met his widow, who embraced the old lady. Both meat- gesiea Kroui emotion, jars, samuols. aeooiapaaied by Mrs. James and her children, was driven to the ti ndertaker's, where they viewed the body of Jesse. 1 lie scene was very affecting, the mother, widow and children all Jolnimr la lamentations.

Mrs. Samuels sutd that tbe body was that of ber son. and with great emotion exclaimed Would to God It was not." The mother re-entered the carriage knd was driven to the Court house, where she was to testify at the Coroner's Inquest whioh was then la procrress. The Coroner's lury assembled agalu at 0 o'clock this morning. Tbe court-room was crowded to tuQootttlon, there belnt no steading room Inside, aud crowds stood in the corridors outside unable to gain admission.

Tbe most Intense interest was manifested and the closest attention paid to the testimony. II. IL. Craig. Police Commissioner of Kansas City, was the first witness.

Being iworu. be said: "The body corresponds with the description of Jesse James; I know the Fords; Robert Ford assisted Sheriff Tim ber lake and myself: he was not commissioned; he acted under our Instructions: Charles Ford was not acting under our Instructions." Sheriff Timberlake testified that he was acquainted with Jesse James and recognized the body; they were personally acquainted: saw aim last in 1870; knew his face; lie had a finger off. The witness told Ford to get hli brother to asMst him. Dick Little was sworn and testified: I have seen the body and recognize It as tbe body of Jesse James; I have no doubt of it; the general appearance Is that of Jesse James; tbe finger is off. as James's was, and 1 recognize the sears on tbe side and thigh." Jame Flnley testified: "I was not acquainted With Jesse James; I went to the house after the tliooting, and found two horses; I sent two offloer after the Johnsons, as they were then called; Ford oame and acknowledged the shooting; he described the wounds on the body, and claimed that tiie nan was Jesse James; Ford told me that there were watches and Jewelry at the house: I found watches, Jewelry, pistol, cartridges, and a purse: gave the purse to Mrs.

James; it had some small Jb "i a oarf-pln was feund with tbe letters S.W.J.'" Mrs. Samuels was then called. As she entered the room all eyes were turned upon ber, and men stood on the seats, craned their necks, and used very endeavor to rain a view of the who, although the mother of an outlaw, bad the resneot of every one In the room. She moved with a slow step and bowed bead to wllness tuD(l- She was a large woman, with kindly face and eyes and a somewhat prominent bose. Her hair is black, sprinkled with She was dressed In black, with a black straw hat and blaok veil, tbe latter partly covering her ace.

when she took the stand ber faoe bad a resolute appearance, but as the examination went on that disappeared, and she was very much affected. She testified that she was the mother of Jesse James, and that she had seen the body but a moment before. "Is that the body of your son?" asked tbe Cor oner. It is," she answered, and then sobbed out, I would to God It was not." Placing her hands upon the beads of the little son aid daughter of Jesse James, who were standing Just In frent of her, she continued, "and these are his orphan children." As she said this oho was poved to tears. Mrs.

James was asked to raise ber veil, and as she did so Mrs. Samuels was asked If she recognized her. She answered that she Old. and that it was the widow of Jesse James. Mrs.

James testified that she recognized tbe preceding witness as Mrs. Samuels. When Mrs. Samuels retired from the court-room a thrilling incident occurred. Dick Little was standing by the door, and as she Beared the opening she saw bim.

Her eyes rested on htm for a moment, then she turned upon him with the fierceness of a tigress. "Traitor! traitor! traitor!" she excitedly ex-claimed; "God will send vengeanoe on you for this. Yon are the cause of all this. Oh, you villain I I Would rather be in my poor boy's place than In yours." Little cowered like a whipped dog before tbe bereaved mother, and turned pale and red by turns. "I did not hurt him," he answered.

"I thought you knew who killed bim." Mrs. Samuels's only reply was, "Oh, God 1 my poor boy 1 my poor toy 1" Sbe then left the room. The lury retired, and subsequently returned the following verdlot: We, the Jurv. find that the deceased is Jesse James, and that be came to his teeth by a pistol shot at the bands of Robert Ford." The two Ford brothers are oonflned in jail charged with murder on a warrant sworn out by Mr. James.

They will not be Interviewed, and tbe Sheriff refuses admittance to all comers. Robert Ford, who did the shooting. Is 24 years old, and Charlesla 0. Kansas City. Ma, April 4.

The Inquest at St. Joseph was concluded at noon to-dav. Mrs. Samuels, mother of Jesse James; his wife. Dick Little, and Sheriff Timberlake Identified the body, aud during the proceedings Mrs.

James and Mrs. Samuels made a highly sensational scene, attack-lug Little and calling all manner of earoes down upou hitn for having conspired to betray his leader. The Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of murder In the first degree against Ford, and the authorities of Buchanan Couuty refuse to give him no. Tbe Governor has ordered tie officers at Bt. Joseph to turn over tbe body of James to his wife and mother, as It has been fully Identified as that of Jesse James.

The body will probaby be taken to the old farm, near Kearney, Clay County, for burial. The cenQrmatlon of James's death has oreated a firofound suusatlon in Western Missouri, and amiers near this place and Independence who have not been in either place for years, rode hi to town this morning In the rain to Investigate tbe rumor. Some denounoe Ford as an assassin, whose pnly object was blood-money, while others exouse him upon tbe ground of expediency. Tbe Governor will not go to Hi. Joseph, but will return to Jefferson City to-night, where some steps will be taken to protect Ford, who Is thought to be In danger from the friends of tbe dead robber.

Louis, April 4. A special dispatch to the from Kansas City, says: "It la now known that the taking off of Jesse James was the fulfillment of an arrangement between Gov. Crittenden and Bob Ford, and that Ford was to receive one-fourth of tbe reward and Immunity. In an Interview with Diok Little, on Sunday night, the loheme was foreshadowed, but he said it was not to bave been accomplished before Wednesday or Thursday, and only then If It was found Impossible for Timberlake to capture tbe bandit leader alive. Gov.

Crittenden stated hereto-day that his first meeting with Ford, at the St. James Hotel, In this city, was on Feb. 22. when the arrangement by which Jesse James was to be either raptured or killed was consummated. He met Little a few days later.

He was noncommittal as to tbe disposition to be made of Ford and Little, but ad mitted that their ultimate pardon was not improbable. The double confession of Dlek Little Is still a mystery, and theoffloera are endeavoring to solve it and ascertain which is correct. The trial of the Bine Out robbers Is still in progress at Independence, and the utmost efforts of counsel are directed toward proving an alibi.

ana Pas always been considered respectable. For some time both brothers are believed to have been In tbe detective service, and specially engaged In hunting out members of the James gang. Their aunt. Mrs. Bolt, is supposed to be the lady who recently had a secret interview with Gov.

Crittenden at Jefferson City, pov. Crittenden, at the request of the Police authorities, ordered out some of the St. Joseph Militia last night to guard the body of the dead outlaw, at there seemed to be danger there would be an at tempt made to capture It. He has also ordered out part of two companies at Kansas City to serve as guards at that place. In Jnry last Robert Ford engaged In the detective business at Kansas City.

He soon got his oreden tlals as a detective, and then became engaged in the search for Jesse James, and Charles assisted bim. The one who did the shooting it rather slender, not very robust, yet wiry, and evidently capable of great endurance, as well as being shrewd and brave. His eyes are sunken, of a hazel color, and are large, restless, and piercing. His forehead is high, and his hair it thin, short, and of a light brown color. He ii about 5 feet 8 inches high, and wears a nnt brown suit.

He would never be singled on of a crowd as a youth of qualities wortbi of especial notice, yet he would be taken for a mat of Iron will with the courage of a lien and an abnn dance of self-control.

The steam-ship Arizona, of the Onion Line, which sailed from Pier No. C8, North River, at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, bore away Mme.

Adeline Pattl, the diva. When Fattl and NIooHni drove down to the pier at 8:80 o'clock they found very few in the large crowd whom they knew te bid them farewell, and their leave-taking of America was rather dismal. There was no muslo and very little excitement over the departure. Patti wore a bine flannel ulster, which oompletely enveloped her, and on ber head was a brown velvet turban-shaped bat, with a yellow feather. Her face was pale and worn.

Onoe on board. Nico-llnl busied himself talking to his Italian friends in his native tongue. He was an objeot of very little interest, and Mme. Patti occupied tbe undivided attention of the few people who surrounded her. About baif an hem- after Patti arrival a florist oame oa board, bending under a load of floral offerings, which he deposited on a table in tbe main saloon.

There was an anchor from Henry E. Abbey, Parti's manager; a white pillow with tbe words Boa Voyage," In purple flowers, from Napoleon J. Haynes; the piano-maker; a lyre from A. J. Dam.

the proprietor of the Union-Square Hotel, and half a dozen bouquets from others. Paul said she was going to ber castle In South Wales, to remain until May 18, when she is to begin an engagement with Manager Gve, at Oovent Garden. She was charmed with Amerloa. and, she added, with a sigh, it grieved her to leave these shores and the dear friends she had found. She hoped to oome back In the Fail, and she certainly should return in a year or so, if not te sing In publio, to see the ones whose short acquaintanceship bad been so pleasant to her.

Manager Gye wished her to oornmenee her engagement on April 15. but, she continued, with another sigh, which was echoed, though leas artis-tloally. by Nlcolinl, who stood Just behind her. rMt did her overworked Nioollnl, and she could find it in no other place than her castle. As the time approached for tbe Arizona to sail Patti became both tearful and affectionate.

She kissed Mrs. W. J. Florence, tbe wife of the comedian, and several other professional ladies. She did not stop here.

Blinded with her tears, she frantically kissed several or the gentlemen before they were fully aware of it themselves. Mr. Abbey was tbe last one to leave tbe steam-ship. It nearly broke her heart. Patti said, to part with him.

Sbe wished he could accompany ber across the ocean as her manager. Besides being a successful manager he was one ef tbe few who were real gentlemen. She had received six offers to come baek, one from CoL Mapleson, ana another from Mr. Haynes, but she preferred to sing under Mr. Abbey's management.

As that gentleman stepped on the gang-plank she sobbed convulsively aud ber eyes filled, but no kisses were exchanged. Perhaps the knowledge tbat Mme. Patti had expressed tbe deepest sorrow tbat every one else who came to see her off was not to arose the ocean with her. made Mr. Abbey less affectionate than berHclf.

Dion Boucioault was a passenger on the steam-ship. Put he kept out of sight. Exactly how many came to bid farewell to Mme. Patti was not disclosed until tbe party got together to go down the Bay on the revenue cutter Washington, the use of which was kindly tendered by the Survevor of the Port, Gen. Graham.

As the Arizona backed out into the river they went on board the Washington. There were In tbe party Mr. Abbey, his partner, John B. Scboeffel; bis manager. W.

Patti stood on the stArboard side of the steam-skip, and was surrounded by Slgnora Castellan, the vlollnlste. ber father, and Nlooll Barelll and bis wife, wbo were passengers. Patti waved ber handkerchief and wiped her eyes with it alternately. Nioolint, in the background, took bis baads out of bis ulster pockets and threw his handkerchief to the breese. Mr.

Abbey said that Patti took away in clear money as the result of her 88 appear-anecs la this oountry, and it was not to be wondered at that she wept when she left. RICH AUD RARE FLOWERS. Til FINE DISPLAY MADE BY THE 60CTETY YESTERDAY. The April meeting of the New-York Horticultural Society, held yesterday afternoon In Republican Hall. Thlrty-thlrd-street.

near Sixth avenue, wa marked by an exceptionally fine exhibition of flowers. Viewed as a whole the display presented a variety of form and wealth ef coloring that were pleasing In the highest degree. Tbe roses made the finest show among the cut flowers. There were roses of all colors, from pure white to deepest saffron, from tinted white to warmest pink, and from pale scarlet to the burning crimson of the Jacqueminot. A remarkable feature of tbe rose display was the extraordinary slse of the specimens, many of which were as large around as an ordinary saucer.

Tbe most noteworthy feature of tbe exhibition, however, was the display of orchids, which was not only very large, but very varied. There was the Venue's slipper." the ''cow's mouth." tbe fiery orchid, orchids with clusters of yellow, bell-like flowers, orchids resembling monstrous speckled spiders with legs six Inches long.and orshlds covered ylth a perfect cloud of lilac and purple flowers. The display ef cape asters, or cineraria, was especially fine. These flowers are so thickly clustered together as to present to the eye a surface like a floral carpet, and when seen as they were yesterday. In numerous colors harmoniously blended, tbe effeot Is most agreeable.

There were varieties showing the richest hues of pink, scarlet, crimson, blue, and purple, variegated varieties, and one very pretty and peculiar specimen with a pure white centre, eneireled by a rieh purple rim. Another Interesting feature of the exhibition was a eolleetlon of hardy Spring flowers, both native and foreign, which lnoluded the bird's foot" violet, the white variety found on Long Liland and the blue variety from the New-Jersey lowlands. Ia the same class, also, were some pretty croon sua. Among the peouliar plants oa exhibition was a specimen of cyclamen trained over a balloon-shaped wire trame. upon whioh its quaint, cone-shaped bleesoms of crimson, tipped with purple, hung like a fantastic head-dress.

Tbe Republic of Chili was represented by a showy flower of the nastnruon family iYoptolum tricolor m. The blue statloe; the scarlet hibiscus, better known as the Chinese blocking plant; the iris susiana or 'mourning rose." a peouliar flower of tbe fivrU famlly; gaudy specimens of amaryllls; the flam-lag scarlet banner plant; a flowering banana, with a soarlet globe supported by the junction of Its huge leaves; yellew daisies and variegated daisies were only a few ameng the rare and interesting flowers to be seen by a close inspection of the several tables. All the well-known flowers were also represented, and notable among these were some splendid spikes of mignonette, rioh dusters of geranium flowers, azaleas, camellias, violets, several trays of unusually fine panaios. and pots of double daffodils and narcissus polyanthus. But while tbe display ministered mainly to the senses of sight and smell, tbe sense of taste was not Ignored.

A table of fruit tempted both eye and appetite. There were large oranges, lemons, and oltron fruit frem California, Florida bleed oranges, and from Jacksonville. a dish of very peculiar little oval-ehaped oranges called kum-quat." Tbe centre piece of this table was a dish of remarkably large and fragrant strawberries raised on Staten Island, and at tbe head of the table were several dishes of toothsome mushrooms grown upon the same island. Tbe ball was densely crowded from tbe opening to the closing of the exhibition, and the number of ladles in attendance was especially notable. Tbe business meeting was held at 8 o'clock, with President Sloan la the chair.

Among tbe members elected were Mrs. John Jacob Astor. Mrs. Robert Woodswortb. Mrs.

Charles T. Attenbury, Miss Paton.W. C. Germond. W.

H. Hellenberg, Otto Andre, and Charles Pratt, of Brooklyn. After the eleotion President Sloan complimented tbe members of the society on the very full and attractive display of flowers, and referring to tbe orowded oondltlon of tbe ball said: This shows the necessity of our having more room, an end to which we are working, but, like a valuable plant, the work grows very slowly." Mr. John Thorpe, a praetleal fiorlst of Jamaica, Long Island, read the paper of the day, tbe title of which was Steam Heating as Applied to Horticulture," The subject discussed was whether hothouses can be heated better and more cheaply by steam than by hot water, the means now generally la vogue. Mr.

Thorpe has been convinced by a series of experiments that steam is the preferable medium, and he argued that It is obeaper, safer, and easier of control A short discussion followed, in which Mr. Thorpe's views were In the main supported by a Mr. Fowler, of Boston. A general desire was manifested to get at tbe exact results attainable by steam heating, and Meeara. Thorpe and Fpw er were vigorously plieT with questions.

Finally it was resolved to print Mr. Thorpe's paper in the society's report of the meeting, and to renew the discussion next month. After-the reading of the awards of the Committee on Premiums the meeting adjourned. Premium were awarded as follows; For orchids to L. B.

CRUSHED BY A FALLING WALL COHTSAC-TOR AHD TWO LABORERS ARRESTED. The crash of a falling wall created a great commotion in the vicinity of James-street and 3(ew "Bowery at 2:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and those who heard, it rushed to tbe court between the front and rear tenements of No. 9 James-street, the noise evidently proceeded.

There a scene of terrible confusion was witnessed. A fifteen-fvot wall which divided the lots between the tenement courts of Nos. 9 and 11 had fallen, filling np the yard and a portion of the cellar and basemert of No. 9 to a depth of from one to three feet with brloks, mortar, and general debris. Several small children had been playing in the yard a few moments before.

It was rumored that a number of the little ones bad been killed, and all tbe women in the adjacent tenements who missed any of tbelr offspring were in a state of fVantio excitement, some of them endeavoring to tear up the brioks with their hands. The wall, which was 16 inches in width, had been forced over by about 15,000 brick which had been piled against it by tbe laborers who were tearing down the old brewery buUding in the rear of Nos. II and 18 James-street. Notice of the accident was sent to the Oak-street Police station, and Coroner Horrman immediately set the workmen who were occupied on the brewery building to clearing away tbe brioks and rubbish, and the body of a small boy was found near the edge of the fallen wall. Bis bead was flattened out of all shape, and tbe left arm, legs, and ribs were evidently broken in several places.

Tae body was identified as tbat of John Donnigan, the son of a widow wbo lives on the top floor ot the tenement at No. 9 James-street. Shortly after the horribly mangled body of Louisa Boehnoke, only 84 years old, was taken out, and the two little bodies were carried to the Oak-street Police station on a stretcher, followed by tbelr aorrow-striokea parents. Additional search among the rubbish of tbe fallen wall only revealed a cat which, strange to say. was not very badly hurt.

Two other missing children Jennie Phillips and Daniel teuton were discovered in the cellar of the tenement, where they had escaped but a moment before the wall fell "Johnnie" Donnigan, the boy who was killed, was an industrious little fellow of 14. He was employed by a milk-dealer named Nathan, and is very highly spoken of. The little girl was a daughter of Frank E. Boehncke, who lived In tbe rear tenement, and is an agent for the sale of paints. The residents of the adjoining tenements say that if the wall had fallen after school hours tbe slaughter of children would bave been terrible, as there are generallv from 40 to CO of them playing in tbe court In tbe afternoon.

Mrs. Phillips, who lives on the first floor of tbe rear tenement at No. James-street, and was the only witness of the accident from that side of tbe court, says that a moment before the wall fell she saw the two children who were killed and several others playing near it. She saw tbe wall totter and rushed toward the oourt to try and reecne ber little child of 3 years, who was among tbe children, but the wall fell with a crash the next moment, and, very singularly, ber child just escaped the bricks from tbe edge of tbe wall and wa uninjured. Upon ascertaining tbe cause of the accident.

Coruaer Hermann ordered the arrettof Daniel F. Mahoney, one of the firm of Mahoney Brothers, carpenters and builders, wbo have taken aeontraot to erect a three-story building on the site of the old brewery. Mr. Mahoney said tbat he bad let the contract for taking down the old building to Herman Uafke, whose foreman, a man named Holwell, bad oaused the bricks to be piled against the wall. Holwel! oould not be found, and two of tbe laborers, Thomas Cox and James Richardson, refused to say by whose orders they bad piled the brick, or whether they knew where Holwell was.

Tbey were also put under arrest. The building which is being taken down Is tbe oldjGotUbergerbrewery. and Is owned by the Kirk estate of Albany. It has not been in use for some time except as a store-bouse for old rubbish. The bricks which were piled against the wall must have weighed several tons.

Tbe bodies of the two children, by permission of Coroner Hen-man, were removed In tbe afternoon from the Police station to an undertaker's rooms, where a wake was held last evening. After assuring himself tbat there were no more bodies under tbe ruins of tbe fallen wall the Coroner ordered the debris left as it was. in order that It might be shown to a jnry which will be impaneled this morning. He subsequently took the testimony of Daniel i Manoney. the eon-trustor, and the two laborers, wbo were not so obstinate In tbelr answer after being threatened with tbe House of Detention.

Mr. Mahoney testified tbat he vtislted the plaoe at 11 o'clock yesterday morning with tbe inspector of Buildings, who thought everything was all right. By the advice of bis counsel, Mr. Mahoney refused to sign his deposition. The laborers testlnea that thy had piled the brick against tbe wall by order of HolwelL At the conclusion of tbe investigation Mr.

Mahoney was admitted to ball in the gem of $10,000, and the two laborers were allowed to depart upon Mr. Ma-honey's assurance tbat tbey should be present at tbe inquest. Christopher Holwell. the foreman la charge ot tbe work which caused the accident, was arrested soon arter 11 o'clock last night, by Detectives Karr and Manor, at his borne. No.

TBE BEWARB FRAUDS AJSD TBE GRAJSTD JURY. The Essex County courts were opened for the April term at Newark yesterday. Judge Depee called the attention of the Grand Jurors afresh to the City Ball irregalarities that made Auditor Palmer's embezzlementspossible.
