Executions of Fort Smith
During the twenty-four years that federal executions took place in Fort
Smith, eighty-seven men died on the gallows. While Judge Isaac C. Parker
sat on the bench, 160 people, including four women, were sentenced to
hang. Just over half received a reprieve from execution through pardons,
commutations, reversals, or acquittals on appeal, or death in jail. The
men listed below were hanged in Fort Smith.
George Maledon, known as the prince of Hangmen, served as executioner at
over half of the Fort Smith hangings. |
