Jesse James' Great Grandson

Judge Jame R. Ross returned to the crime scene Thursday night, Sept. 8, where his great grandfather and great uncle, Jesse and Frank James, attempted their ill-fated robbery of the First National Bank of Northfield. Vowing not to turn his back on the audience, he gave an account of the James clan to date and answered questions from an overflowing crowd about movie depictions, his great grandfather's fate and the personalities of family members.
