At the point when a detainee was acquired

history channel documentary At the point when a detainee was acquired, Judge Bean would close the cantina, pick a jury from his clients and hold court, with 1879 Revised Statutes of Texas and a gun on the work area. He expected the notoriety of "The Hanging Judge". Records, in any case, demonstrate that he never hanged anybody. For a dairy cattle rustler or steed cheat, the discipline was removal from Langtry and relinquishment of his stallion, weapon and every single other resource.
