Judge Roy Bean and the Law West of The Pecos
Writing on the photograph - "This old relic is located in the little
town of Langtry, Texas, which was the abode of Judge Roy Bean - - - a
"Saloon," and also a "Hall of Justice," he being the only
Peace Officer west of the Pecos river, at the time this photo was made, about
1900, and shows Judge Bean holding court, trying a horse-thief. Left of
the picture is the stolen horse. On horses, guarded by officers are the
two other horse thieves, supposed partners of the one on trial."
