DID JESSE JAMES FAKE HIS DEATH?

Soon we'll know whether the Outlaw pulled off one last great escape. James E. Starrs, professor of law and forensic sciences at George Washington University, has been awarded the right to open up Jesse James' grave in Kearney, Mo. to settle whether James actually staged his murder in April, 1882, as some believe. Allowed 90 days to study the remains, a 15-member team hopes to determine the identity of the body in the grave, and assuming it is James, establish the caliber of bullet that killed him and the angle and distance from which it was fired.
