(Fort Worth-AP) -- Plans are under way for a second disinterment in search of clues about the real Jesse James.
The move comes months after the wrong man's body was found in an attempt to dig up the outlaw's remains at a North Texas gravesite.
Researchers looking for remains of the notorious outlaw this summer were fooled by a misplaced headstone in a Granbury, Texas, cemetery.
But Bud Hardcastle, an amateur historian and car dealer who funded the exhumation effort, wants to return to the cemetery.
Researchers, instead of exhuming the skeleton of J. Frank Dalton, unearthed the body of a one-armed man, William Henry Holland, who died in 1927. Dalton had claimed until his death in 1951 to be Jesse James.
