Very rare 1890 Judge Roy Bean signed bail bond for R B Frisch, charged with assault with intent to murder. " 7x8.5". Phantly Roy Bean Jr. (c. 1825 - March 16, 1903) was an American saloon-keeper and Justice of the Peace in Val Verde County, Texas who called himself "The Only Law West of the Pecos". According to legend, he held court in his saloon along the Rio Grande on a desolate stretch of the Chihuahuan Desert of southwest Texas. After his death, fictional Western films and books cast him as a hanging judge, although he is known to have sentenced only two men to hang, one of whom escaped." from Wikipedia. Consignor note states Sherman paid $4800 for this document in 2003. Bean was also a fan of Lily Langtry. Lot includes a Langtry matted photo, 5.5x3.75" with back writing, "Copy of this picture was found among Roy Bean's effects after his death".
