Nation IN BRIEF : KENTUCKY : DNA Shows Corpse Likely Jesse James

Preliminary DNA tests show remains exhumed from Jesse James’ grave probably are his, a forensic scientist in Lexington said. The grave in Kearney, Mo., was exhumed in July to resolve lingering doubts about whether the outlaw’s body had really been buried there. James Starrs, the George Washington University scientist who led the exhumation, said just about everything historians had believed about James was confirmed by the tests. Starrs said a complete report will be released Feb. 23 in Nashville at a meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.
