FORT SMITH HAS
HANGING RECORD
from the New York Herald:

From the New York Herald:
The longest record Of legal execu-
lions ever known belongs to Fort Smith,
Ark. In just twenty years ninety-n nine
men were hanged in that little town.
and they were the worst characters the
West ever had
One Judge sentenced all Of them. Be-
sides those, he sentenced fifty-three 9TH
ers, who escaped the death penalty from
various reasons.
He sat in the trial Of 354 men charg-
ed with murder He was so stern in
his handling Of the black-hearted men
who overran the Indian Territory from
1875 to 1896 that he grew to be known
everywhere as the man without a
heart"
This man was Judge Isaac c.. Parker,
OF the Western District Of Arkansas.
He went to Fort Smith in 1875 to sit in
the cases arising In the Indian Terri
tory, at that time infested with the
hardest, toughest men and the worst
women the West ever knew.
Nothing but the sternest law, rigidly
enforced by the government of the
United States, had the least effect upon
them.
Hard Cases to Handle.
Congress had provided that all cases
from the Territory should be tried at
Fort Smith. This arrangement contin-
ued until September /, 1896, When con-
gress gave Jurisdiction Of Indian Ter
ritory cases in various judicial districts
created within the Territory.
Judge Parker was sensitive to the
general belief that he was so strict as
to be inhuman in his lack of sympathy,
and there was no doubt that he was
misrepresented.
He was a kindly hearted man, but he
knew that It was the rigid application
of law that would ultimately conquer
and subdue the lawless element that
held sway in that portion Of the South
west.
Speaking Of the more than $50 men
he had sentenced to the gallows during
his judicial life at Ft. Smith, Judge
Parker said:
People have said to me: You are
the judge who hung so many men, But
my answer has been: 1T is not l who
hung them. 1t is the law. I never
hung a man. People who say I am
cruel do not understand how 1 am sit
uated. I am the most misrepr esented
OF men. l am, however. proud Of the
record I have made. I believe 1t has
checked a flood Of crime
Il think the courts of the country are
somewhat to blame for the thousands of
murders yearly committed. In the past
five years Che was taking in 1880
$4,000 persons have been murdered in
this country. This fearful condition
does not exist because our laws are de-
fective. We have the most magnificent
legal system In the world. The trouble
IS that the bench looks to the shadow,
In the shape Of technicalities, instead of
to the substance, in the form Of crime.
There is too much technicality.
Worst Body Of Ruffians.
YES they say I am cruel, but they
forget that for years I have had to
contend with the crimes Of the worst
body of rufflans the United States ever
had. They were brutes, or demons, in
human form. Their crimes were DELHI
erately planned AID tiendshly executed
They were r?en o. the Tnost hardened
character, oDlivious to Gecency, homo.
and honesty.

DUAL. TRAGEDY IN
OHIO FARMERS HOME

EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio, April Is.

business trip to Fast Liverpool and
found the dead bodies of his wife, aged
"a, and his brother, Harry, lying in

himself. Smith and his wife had been
married only a short time. Prior to
Their marriage the woman was also
courted by Harry Smith, who, after
the marriage, came to live with the

PEACE IN IRELAND.

From the New York Evening Sun:
The most interesting thing in Great
Britain, or in British politics, at the
present moment, is the condition Of Ire
land. Only few months ago the Crimes
law was in operation, the ordinary safe
guards of the subject under the consti-
tuition were suspended, relations between
governed and governors were strained
and what was called "disloyalty" was
rampant. Sc
All this has changed since the general
election and the return Of the Liberals
to power. When the judges went on
circuit they found that in city after
city there were no criminal cases to be
tried. And they had white gloves pre-
sented to them as symbols Of clean
calendar. This certainly goes to show
that there was something in the remark
made by an English jurist that apart
from politics crime in Ireland might be
almost placed in the same chapter as
the snakes.

ator Malone to try his hand at rails
ing pigs for hams. In Albemarle
county the Senator bought 1000 acres
of land. This he had subdivided into
tracts of 500 acres each. In one he
planted clover, in the next nutmeg
grass and in another COOLERS. In the
summer he would turn his swine in on
the clover; in September they fed
on the roots of the nutmeg grass. and
in October the bars we're let down for
raids on his peanut patch.
All during the fattening period the
