..."Dingus (Jesse James,son of Robert and Zerelda) and some of the boys attempted to rob Nimrod Long's Bank at Russelville, Kentucky, in March, 1868. I wasn't present (J Frank Dalton/Jesse James, speaking), but Jesse Woodson James (me) got the blame.....So many people never did suspect that there were two 'Jesse James operating across the country. and believe me, we certainly did use our two "Jesse James' to the fullest advantage"....
