Further Developments in the
Trial of the Great Mis-
souri Bandit.
General Shelby, of Missouri, Has
to Apologize to the
Court.
The Frank James Trial.
Sr. Louis, August 31.—A special from
Gallatin to the Post-Dispatch says: Iu
the Frank James trial the defense con-
tinued their line of Impeaching the
State's witnesses.
Jauie6 S. Denasters, Justice of tbe
Peace, testified at the coroner's inquest
on the body of Wood Ilite.
Mrs. Bolton testified that she had not
seen F>ank James for two years, and
then at her father's house.
Colonel Phillips then arose and stated
that General Slielbj' desired to make a
statement to the court. When the gen-
eral came iu he saluted the court with a
courteous Low and said : " If anything
that I may have s lid or done yesterday,
offended the dignity of the court, I regret
it exceedingly. As to other parties, I
nave no regrets." Judge Goodman re-
plied : "General Shelby, jour conduct
yesterday in appearing before
the court in an untie condition
iind showing r.n insubordinate spirit, was
reprehensible in the extreme, as it was
not only in defiance of the dignity of
the court, but calculated to prejudice the
interest of the defendant. You are a
man of national reputation, and ei.joy
the respect and confidence of a large
number of people in Missouri. I can
only say that I was much astonished at
jour verjr reprehensible action of yes-
terday. It is in testimony that j'ou have
drawn a pistol right iu the verge of the
court, which is in itself a contempt of
court.
Genera! Shelby, interrupting: " That,
sir, is false!"
The court: " The marshal of Lexing-
ton testified to it under oath."
General Shelby: " Then he lied."
The eo.irt: " Tbe court is amply sat-
isfied with your apology to it, but j our
attitude towards the attorneys for the
State j-esterdaj', in ausweiing thein in a
threatening manner, aud your talk of
calling them to personal account, cannot
be overlooked."
The court fined General Shelby ten
dollars, which ha paid and passed out of
the court room.
J. C. Mason, Ananias Duval, W. J.
Rk-e and James Duval, all impeached
the testimony of the Fords and Boltons,
testifying that they had heard them say
they had not seen Frank James for
j'ears, and that he had gone South.
John T. Samuels, half brother of
Frank James, testified : In May, 1831, I
saw Jesse James with Dick Liddell at
his mother's house; heard Jesse and Lid-
dell both say they had left Frank in
Kentucky. There was a striking
family resemblance between Wood Ilite
aud Frank'James. Frank James was at
his house with his sister, the witaess'
wife. He fouud him there on his return
trip to Texas. Next saw him yesterday
in jail. Witness was rigidly eross-exam-
ined, but he did not make a good wit-
ness.
