se ere were two Jesse Jams'? The Jesse_Qgdson*fgmes ofQuantrill and Civil War fame was killed at St..Joseph in I882,and this J. Frank Dalton at Stanton claims this was a frame-up,and that he is acmually the Jesse James born in 18b7, Sept. 5,at Kearney, Clay County, Mo. I find that yor letter stated theJesse James you refer to was born in Goliad, Texas. I am sorryI did not write you on out letterhead at the time of my first in-quxiry, as it would have prevented this delay. I have been astudent of the James legend for many years, and am anxious tolearn who this J. Frank Dalton at Stanton, mo. really is. Icertainly will appreciate it if you will allow me the benefitsof your records on Jesse James, alias J. Frank Dalton, and alsoa set of prints and a photo, if at all possible. ~ - é
Believe ne, I appreciate your fine cooperation in this matter.é7p%K1 S. A 2 Z " ~ _ f ndest regard I

The Story of the FBI
Know your. . . FBI '
Cooperation--The Backbone of Effective Law Enforcement
Fingerprints--The Infallible Means of Personal Identification
The FBI Laboratory V
NOTE: Bufiles contain no record identifiable with correspondent.
The information concerning the death of "Pretty~Boy" Floyd was _
taken from the notes in .-!'The FBI Story" by Don Whitehead. The
information concerning the claim of J. Frank Dalton to be Jesse
James is contained in Bufile 62-26471. This file indicates that
Dalton filed a petition in January, 1950, in the State of Missouri
to change his name to Jesse Woodson James, claiming he was the
real Jesse James, the notorious outlaw. This "case was dismissed
by a Missouri circuit court judge on the grounds that if Dalton was
James in the old days and had never had his name legally changed,
it was impossible to change his name back to the one he had already
had. The outlaw's son contested Dalton's action, charged that Dalton
sought publicity as a tourist attraction. The fingerprints of Jesse
James, with alias,» J. Frank Dalton, were submitted by the Lawton,
Oklahoma, Police Department on 5-21-48. This fingerprint card
showed that Dalton vsas. born September 5, , at Gcliad, Texas.
Encyclopedia references show that Jesse Woodson James was t
born at Centerviile, now Kearney! Missouri, in 1847, and that he _
died at St. Joseph, Missouri, on April 3, 1882. -,
