| JESSE JAMES ALIVE. |
For some time it has been supposed in detective circles and by the public that Jesse James, the leading spirit of that notorious band of desperadoes, the James Boys, was dead. This, however, is an error, as will be seen by the following communication, written on a postal card, which last week fell into the hands of Police Superintendent Walling:
SEMPRONIUS, Tex., Dec. 20, 1879.
Please send me a copy of your paper (THE POLICE GAZETTE), and greatly oblige JESSE JAMES.
The writer is evidently unaware of the many great changes which have taken place, not only in the New York Police Department, but in THE NATIONAL POLICE GAZETTE of New York. George W. Matsell (at one time proprietor of THE GAZETTE), Superintendent and afterward a Commissioner of Police, died two years ago, but had for several years previously no connection whatever with this paper. The GAZETTE is now the leading illustrated paper in America, known alike for its artistic taste, the beauty of its illustrations, and as being first in the field in depicting accurately everything of importance. Admirers of this paper should at all times be careful that inferior imitations are not given them. THE NATIONAL POLICE GAZETTE is published in New York, where a live, first-class illustrated paper can only be issued.
