While Jesse stood on a chair in the family home at 1318 Lafayette Street in St. Joseph to dust and straighten a picture, Bob and Charlie Ford drew their guns. Bob Ford put and end to the Jesse James Legend with a single bullet to the back of the head on April 3, 1882. The Ford brothers attempted to collect the reward.
