Hi All: I don't know who they dug up but the J. Frank Dalton claim pops up every so often. Fact is, Ole Jesse shot off one of his fingers while cleaning an "unloaded" pistol during the latter days of the Civil War. HIs comment was and this is a direct quote, "Isn't that the dingus-dangest thing?" His brother and the other members of Quantrell's Raiders gave him the nick name of "Dingus because of it. J. Frank Dalton (What ever his real name is) had the missing digit when "interviewed" and vouched for by would be outlaw Al Jennings in the 1950s. MOther and wife both swore that Jesse was indeed murdered as officially stated by Bob Ford. Indded, it was Jesse's murtder that induced Frank James to turn his guns over to Governor Crittenden of Missouri. Though there maybe something to Jesse not being interred where he is said to be, it may be a case of the family moving his body to protect it from souvenier hunters. J. Frank Dalton was not Jesse James. He might however have been Judge Crater. Hmmm bears watching. Neil
