This has been reported in issues of Texas Co-Op Power members and suscribers magazine. The Austin labs say the photo has not been tamperred with and even the print on Mrs. James's dress was a perfect match to the Missouri Photo. a Frank James settled in South Bell County and 80 yeatr old men in our church used to hunt on his land According to the Courtney researcher, eye witnesses said the body exhumed in Missouri was lying face down in the coffin and the only DNA missouri evidence came from a tooth of jesse's buried outside his childhood home, not his grave and the corpse was the wrong size for Jesse. a St. Cloud Minn, prof published a book about 1994 proving the claims of his gang that he was not at Northfield Bank Robery as 2 of the men were drunk enough to smell, one so drunk he fell.
