Kennedy wa not horn to be a bandit, nor even to have banditry thrust upon him. Ha wss unequal to the requirements for successful bindltry. Ho wa a bungler. An analysis of hla career. It Is believed, will prove thin.
The passtac of Jack Kennedy, nevertheless, has hlrh point of Interest to the atudent of Mlaaourt outlawry. With him die the lat trUKRllna; aurvlval of our somewhat picturesque and certainly sensational epoch of outlawry. Ken netfV. nk.ntnin l.li'V I a th. ime when desperate men.

Of Old Type at Desperado Those men were or a type vasNy different from those of the pike1 film who, in these days since tho world war. ar terrifying towns and cities, not only In Missouri, but In virtually every state In tho union.
The present day fallows, miscall ed "bandits," are chiefly ephemeral. They do not last In many instanrea they make but one at tempt to commit a crime with rob bery as the motive. Frequently they include murder. In other Instances they continue for a time In their desperado deeds, but In most case tri'lr methods stamp them as raw amateurs. In hut comparatively few of the ao called 'bandit' crimes of recent year havo the perpetrators evinced htah talent for their r.lllncr It Is quite true that many haven rnhbed and killed and none awav and that their Crimea hare gons unpunished; but the Instances are very rars wherein the clroumstanees have Indicated th presence of real bandit who know the bualness from A to Isssrd, who possess a positive talent for doing th Job and getting away with It.
The old timers, one of whom Jack Kennedy undoubtedly wss, were not ephemeral. They wsre professionals. ftaAflltw i new. Tnla statement, however, must be qualified. As applied to the James and ths Youngsrs, It should be qualified with the explanation that they were not bandits altogether by Intention and Inclination, but, rather, through the tragic ac cldent of the civil war on the border.
Kennedy, the Quail Hunter, so nicknamed, did not belong to that rlara He made a business of banditry because he was Inclined that vt ay, and he had bark of him no such unhappy acnldent as helped to make outlaws of boys who, like Francis Alexander James. Jesse Washington James and Thomas CMeman Younger and his brothers, were well born and well reared. Of course, we mean here Prank and Jesse James and Colo Younger. Kennedy la said to have been "the solo active survivor of the famous James brothers band." That, of course. Is quite untrue.
Jesse was killed 40 years ago last April 3. Prank James surrendered shortly afterward. The Younger had ended their outlaw cauer half a dosen years earfler, andwere in the Minnesota penitentiary for complicity in the bank robbery at Stillwater In that stnte. Ht Connected Witts Jesse Jarare. The banditry of the Jamea brothers' band ended definitely when Bob Pord shot Jesne James In the 1st ter's home at St.
Joseph, Mo. Jack Kennedy then was a boy of years, on a farm near Independence. In Jackson his birthplace. A 13 year old boy, It must be evident to all. could not make very much of a bandit alongside of Jesse and Prank Jamea Ha hsd.
of course, absolutely no connection with that combination of train and bank rob hers. Yet In new dispatches he has been so heralded, slnco his death, throughout the country. Nevertheless. Jack Kennedy was a sort of connecting link with the Jameses, a fact of striking Interest In any analysis of his criminal career. It 1 known to hi friend of early day that he aspired to emulate Jesse James.
In boyhood he achieved tho notion that Jesse was character to be lived up to. and. If possible, surpassed. Jtsse James wns tho acknowledged leader of hi group of outlaws. He became, In time, the most desperate of the gang.
Ilia personal exploits were of a character more sensational than those of any of the others: and his assassination by a youthful recruit who had grown np In his own neighborhood and was supposed to be hid friend served to add to the more or less romantic aspect of his career. Kennedy was born and grew upright In the middle of the James Touncer field of operations. When fc was a small boy the Jameses had ridden frequently through the Ouclter Nock district In Jackson rnunty where the Kennedya livd. They had many friends there and throughout Jackson county. In vrllrr years, when the Youngers f.
with them, the latter also were fj.millar figures to scores of cltl t.n in the vicinity of the Kennedy flnrrn. The Youngers were native to the re's Summit neighborhood, a few miles away. The Jameses were born and reared In tho adjoining county of Qlay, across the Missouri river. Kanaaa City was a chief Headquarter for th bandit crew throughout their long year of activity. The Ftael ef the James Bey.
When Jack Kennedy was about year. old. Prank Jame was takno to Independence and placsd for a short time In the county Jail after he had gone to Jefferson City and surrendered to Governor Thomas T. Crittenden, whose offer of a large monetary reward had Induced Robert and Charles Pord to kill Jesse, Charles standing by when Robert shot the outlaw In the hack of the head. That was 'he only time In his lite that Prank ever saw the Inside of a Jail as a prisoner, and ha was Indignant because he wss locked up.
He was tried at Gallatin, on a charge of murder In connection with a train robbery, was acqulted. and for the rest of his life was a free man and good citizen. These facta are act forth by way of Indicating how Jack Kennedy was environed by Influence quite well calculated to make a lad look upon the Jameaes and their associates as heroes, with Jesse James as the super hero. Por year following th breaking up of the band of outlaws th Kansas City paper published storic about their exploits. Jack Kennedy, though ho grew up with a most rudimentary education, could reao.
and these stories added fuel to the flame of his ambition to put a second Jesse James on the map In Missouri. In those daya, everywhere in this general region, crowing boys were bitten by that bug or unholy aspirations, but In most instances th bite failed to take. With Kennedy It wa different. Keaanly Kgetlstlral. most striking chsrarteristle of Jack Kennedy wa hla egotism.
He was Intensely proud of the fact that ha wa a train robber. Detectives who have worked on cases in which Kennedy figured recall this trait In him. "lis was obsessed by his rgn," says Bamuel Allender. now chief apeclal agent for the Frisco iilroaJ system fcrmcriy chief of deterti 'sa In tit. IxjuIs.
"Kennedy liked to brsg. stnongst crimlnsls. about hlm lf as 'the famous Missouri train He was very vain, and ver Ignorint. He had nothing of the svirwdness possessed by sitCh rpcti ashe Jameses, was larking In the acuta Intelligence which enabled thossRien to operate successfully for sotnany years, and was characterised by an Ingrowing egotism whichNdlfferentluted htm from men of then; type." liefer he was StKyears old Jack Kennedy left home. He had read and heard about life In Texas.
He went to thav state and got a Job as a brakeniun on a Southern Pacific rallroaik train. After a time he Was advanhed to the front end of the train as lo comotive fireman. Kennedy been advertised widely as havln been a locomotive engineer. Ramuel Allender. who was In railroad detective service for many years before he served as chlsf of detectives at St Louis tells the writer that Kennedy never wa a locomotive engineer.
"Kennedy was a says Allender, "and In that eapaolty of course teamed how to handle an entries so that be enuld start and atop It. He did not get promotion to a regular engineer Job. Ther la no evidence to uphold hi claim that ever was an engineer. Kennedy's Tratax Hekbertea. Th statement ha been made that Kennedy was connected with ,19 train robberies.
Only about half a dosen of these Jobs have reached the courts, and In only one of them was Kennedy convicted. Because he wss supposed to have been locomotive engineer, and because he undoubtedly did know how to handle an engine fairly well. It is believed by some authorities that at some of the robberies of which Kennedy has been accused he probably was not present. The fact that a robbery took place In which the engine, th express car and the mall car were cut loose and pulled away from the rest of the train, wltn ona of the bandits at the throttlo, was enough to crests the suspicion that "Quail Hunter" Kennedy was on the job In the cab. This suspicion had more than usual weight In the case of the most noted train holdup Job attributed In part to Kennedy.
It was not the one for which he was convicted, but one which took place several months earlier. The Job was known i as the Leeds holdup, and its chief interest to the public lay In the fact that Jesse E. James of Kansas City, the only son of the bandit Jesse W. James, was arrested short ly after that attempt at robbery, was accused of participation In thn crime by William Lowe, a state's evidence witness, was tried and acquitted. Chief counsel for "Young Jesse" In thst trial was Prsnk P.
Walsh of Kansas City, and tho pros ecution was conducted by James A. Heed, now united States senator, then prosecuting attorney for Jackson county. Ths Leeds holdup took place on the night of September 23, 18)1. A Missouri Pacific express train was held up near Leeds, about eight miles out of Kama City, It wa called a robbery, though from all accounts available It Is not evident that the would bo robbers got any loot. That, howover, was th fault of their overxealous methods, and not of their intentions.
Bspleelen at Leeds. About 10 o'clock that night a dull explosion was heard throughout th southeastern part of Kansas City. It wss the sound of the explosion of dynamite which blew up and utterly wrecked the express ear near Leeds. Jsse James, long after his acquittal, wrote a description of that Incident in which he said: "That they did not blow off their own clothing was a wonder, for the car was rased, the great iron safs was shattered, and, fur a distance of two miles, waybills and papers and fragments of baggage were scst tered along the track. The party of masked bandits, thinking they had cut the telegraph wires to Kansas City, used no stint in the application of dynamite.
They left a card with the express messenger stating that the supply of quails was good." This card, according to James, was In possession of Chief of Police Hayea of Kanaas City. On one aide was printed an appeal for votes for a St. Louis candidate for office. The bsndlt had used th other slds nf this political card on which to pencil this message: "We. the masked knight of th road, robbed the M.
P. train at th Bell Line Junction tonight. The supply of quails was good. With much lovs, we remain, John Kennedy, Bill Ryan, BUI Anderson, Sam Brown, Jim Xtsked men took charge of tn THE SPRINGFIELD DAILY LEADER, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1922. engine, cut loose th express car.

Whatever was In th safe was lost, but the robbers got noth Ing. Everything was blown to smithereens. Plre followed, com' Dieting the wreck. Jack Kennody and several other were charged with thla holdup, but only Jease E.
Jamea waa put to trial, James and his friends contendeo that It wa a frame up against him, that because he was the son of his father the authorities would find it easy to saddle participation In th crime upon him. He had grown up In Kansas City, being but a small boy his father was killed. At the time of the Leeds holdup he waa owner of a cigar stand in the coun ty court house at Kansas City. He had many friends, as had hla father before him, in that city. Prosecutor Reed tried hard to jonvlct him, but the defendant Droved an Jamos later studied law, practiced for a number of years Ju Kaunas City, and about two years ago retired from bis profession to become an actor In and producer of a mov.

After the acquittal of James, prosecutor Reed had the indictments against Ken nedy and several others dismissed. dropping tho whole case In March. IsSS. Tho Incident which caused many to helisvo that Jack Kennedy wa in. the ljccds affair had to do with the capable handling of the locomtv time.
When It was cut loose and drew away, the bandit In the cab blew five blast, the signal for a flagman to go bock and protect the rear end from oncoming trains. The argument was that only a man who knew the engineer's business would have done that. The sentence In the message. "The supply or quails was good." no doubt wus Intended as some sort or compliment to Jack Kennedy. whether he was cn hand or absent.
Kennedy's nickname of "The Quatl Hunter" hsd been acquired about eight months earlier, and the Kansas City police had nit lorgotten. On the night of January 21. 1W. when the snow clad streets of Kan. sas City were slippery from a uris xle of rain, a lone horseman was riding along the West His steed slipped and fell.
The rider was picked up unconscious. The police identified him as Jack Kennedy, who already had been accused of several train robberies, had been on trial more than onceand had used handy alibis supplied by friends, which brought him his acquittal. Kennedy waa picked up and nursed back to consciousness. He was euulDoed to rob a train. In his possession were a black mask, a set of false whiskers, a red lantern, a rifle and a revolver, wlh plenty ot munition.
The ausll Hester." ack. what were you doing with all this outfit?" inquired the police. "Why, waa going quail bunting, replied Kennedy, There being no evidence against him, was. released. The quatl hunter outftt wa exhibited at police headquarters for several yeara Recently It was placed in the museum sj th Kansas City Public Library, where it still attract me attention of th curloue.
That same year Ksnnedy wa arrested several times on charges of robbing trains, but always he had an alibi ready, and usually he would Insist that he was going quail hunting If he happened to be picked up with a suspicious outfit on his person. The nickname aturk, and as guall Hunter" Kennedy, or Kennedy, "tlm Quail Hunter," the outlaw was known far and wide down to the hour of his sudden exit. Long before tho charge aKSinat him In connect Ion with the Leeds affair wan dismissed, Kennedy con lvfd and executed the one treln robbery for which he served time behind stone walls. He got KjU for himself, pluij a sentence of years in the state penitentiary. Ho served 12 yt ars and nine months, getting one fourth time off for perfect behavior.
The Job that put Jack Kenneds out of bandit commission for long was a budly bungled affair, in some respects. It took place on tin night of Jan. 4, 1889, at the "little way station called Macomb. In Wright county. about 60 miles east of Springfield.
The train that suffered was on the old Kanflis City, Fort Scott A Memphis line. now a part of the Prtsco yaterc, W. J. Orr of Springfield, now an attorney for the Prlsco, was Instru mental In effecting Kenendy's conviction, Orr, who was in St. Louis when Kennedy met his' final doom.

His plans as thev were broUBht out ut th trial were not especially clever. He blundered in several wsys In laying his plans and in attempting to establish an alibi.
But Kennedy was a luck outlaw. Luck always seemed to break his way at critical times, and "because of this he was able to carry off successfully a number of tram robberies." In preparation for the Macomb lobbc ry Kennedy spent a long time in tne vicinity. He Induced three farmers of the neighborhood to thke part In the Job. From Krtnsii City he brought down two mor of I. ss experienced train robbers, WlUlam Jennings and Joseph Shnppard.
Jennings, the oldest man In tho ait. was said to have operated at times with the Japanese and the YoMtigers. The farmers were Rimer Hyrum, Lewis Nigh and Jacob Pit ley. By rum turned state's evidence arid was released after testifying. The railroad company gave him a Job ns section foreman and he made good.
Kennedy, as stated, got 17 ynars li. prison; Jennings, possibly because of his Imigor crime record, irot 0 years; Nigh and Pauley want to prison 12 years each; ciheppard got off with 10 yeara The Quail Hunter'a capture wis brought abou, through the gaffy of a corner torn oft a IVdfloTiat blll and ths trail of a iron gray horse through six countlns In Southwest Missouri.

In order to make sure thi, the train would stop at Mac mb, the leans: Induced another farmer, who lived thro mile from that statb to board th train at th next station, paying hla far to Macomb, Thla farmer aem to hive hsd no evil knowledge of th Intended robbery.

Age already had a reputation as a bandit baiter, having run down Rub Bur row, noted Memphis outlaw. In hla day ratsd as a lop notcher.
Agee saw a number of fragment of paper money scattered about on the floor of the ear. He collected all of the. Then he wired up and down the line to merchant In th various towns, stating that he would redeem all mutilated money they might taae in. Three day later a merchant at Norwood notified Agee that he had received a mutilated 6 bill. Th unoer right hand comer had been torn off.
Agee went to Norwood and fitted a fragment from pocket to the corner of th bill; It waa a perfect fit. The merchant told that Lewis Nigh, a Small farmer, living In a one room log cabin six mile from Norwood, had bought a shot gun from him the dsy before th robherv. on credit. After the rob bery he had com to ths store and paid tho mutilated 5 bill on account i Sleepers la Cabin Arrested. Deputy Sheriffs drove to Nigh' csbln and arrested him and two others whom they found In the at tic, access to which was by a step ladder.
The attic waa dark, but in its seclusion lay the vetoran Wil liam Jennings, reputed ex James gang man, and Joseph Sheppard of Kansas City. Both were asleep when discovered. Nigh wo put under the rural Oxarkian third degree and sweated all night. Where did he get the mutilated money? Finally he said that he got It from a man named Wright, a land buyer, who had hoarded with him for a time and left without paying hla bill. Ho had returned, Nigh said, and paid hlm l2i), the mutilated bill being a parr of the sum.
Nigh was tripped up on that statement and tricked into what waa Known to ne a lie. Further questioning cstised the ar rest of Elmer Byrum. NlRh's son ln 1 law, who gave away the whole story.

Two day later Kennedy wa picked up In 8t Loul at Eighteenth and Olive streeta, as a suspicious character. Samuel Allender, then chief of detectives, had him "mugged" at police headquarters.
The record as made then show Kennedy as weighing pounds, height 5 feet 7Vi Inches, medium slender build, long nose, hair grayish and thinning, and violet blue eyes. In passing. It may be stated that the violet blue eye I distinctive of the old time Missouri bandit. Prank James had such eyes. James C.
Cummins, the "Jim Cummlngs" of a great deal of blood and thunder romance which his reputation never earned, had such eyes. Certain other noted bandits had uch eyea Kennedy waa releaaed by Allender, there being nothing agulnst him. Some tlm later he reappeared In St Loul a "lecturer" in connection with a moving picture show which purported to portray some of his experiences as a train robber. Kennedy traveled out Into the small town territory with this show. In his lecture he stated that he had reformed, and he pointed out to youth the perils of such a career ss ho had led.
Ills lecture was considerably like a sermon. Sometimes It drew tears from sympathetic women and impressionable men. "II. V. a' p.rnn.Bil thav wnitltt say.
