The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Desperate Measures Against a Notorious Outlaw
Governor Crittenden: [pause]
Jesse James sent me a telegram last month, saying he was going to kill me if he had to wreck a train to do it. He said that once I was in his hands he was going to cut my heart out and eat it in strips like it was bacon. I'm going to wreck his train first.
Robert Ford: [scoffs, Crittenden glares at him]
I'm sorry, Your Excellency. I was thinking of something else.
Governor Crittenden:
Jesse James is nothing more than a public outlaw who's made his reputation by stealing whatever he could and by killing whoever got in his way. You'll hear some fools say he's getting back at Republicans and Union men for wrongs his family suffered during the war, but his victims have scarcely ever been selected with reference to their political views. I'm saying his sins will soon find him out. I'm saying his cup of iniquity is full. I'm saying Jesse James is a desperate case and may require a desperate remedy.
