Good luck to him – an additional plus is we can offer people who come to ride the “steam” locomotive an opportunity to sit in on the real “Judge Bean’s” courtroom – minus the hangings of course, but hey the railroad does not have a steam engine either, so it is consistent.

Roy Bean only sentenced two people to hang, one escaped and I believe the other was granted a reprieve by performing some type of manual labor for the betterment of the community. In fact Roy Bean usually opted for a fine, what ever the defendant happen to have on his person. Isaac Parker, over in Ft. Smith on the other hand presided over 79 hangings.
