Larger, horizonal cabinet photograph taken in the 1880s. 8 men in a line. On the back is noted: 2nd from left: Robinson Kemp. 6th from left: Meredith Crow. Also, "Taken while in custody at Ft. Smith, Ark". All of them may be criminals, under arrest. However, the two on the back row look more like law officers or Deputy U.S. Marshals. No further identification evident. However, it is a rare, historical look at this famous judicial area. Note bars on jail behind them. I wonder if any were hanged. Many were here.
