The police here... are firmly convinced that Jesse James set up the job [at Winston] and carried it through, and at Pinkerton’s detective agency the same theory is held. Francis Warner, the superintendent, and W. A. (Billy) Pinkerton, who know a great deal about these Missouri desperadoes, say there is very little doubt that Jesse James was the leading spirit of the outrage. "It is just like the jobs in which he has taken part before," said Mr. Warner. "It bears too many of his marks to be mistaken for the work of somebody else.

James was born in 1847, in what Stiles correctly calls "the most hotly ideological era in American history" and in the border state destined to be the site of the most vicious internecine fighting of the Civil War period. One does not have to sympathize with him to agree that the boy was fated at birth to be a killer.
