Autograph Document Signed: "I.C. Parker/Judge of Circuit Court/In
Andrew County Misr", 1p, 7½x8. Andrew County, Missouri, 1870 July
25. Judge Parker orders that a note be permitted to be withdrawn "in the
Circuit Court for Andrew County by leaving in the office of the Clerk of said
court a certified copy of same." Parker resigned shortly after writing
this order and became a candidate for Congress. He was a Republican Congressman
from Missouri (1871-1875) and lost the race for U.S. Senator in 1874 to Democrat
Francis Marion Cockrell. He declined the appointment as Chief Justice of
Utah Territory but accepted one as Judge of the U.S. District Court for Western
Arkansas, serving from 1875 until his death in 1896. Called the "Hanging
Judge," Parker appointed 200 marshals and saw 65 of them slain. He passed 162
death sentences during his tenure at Fort Smith, Arkansas, earning his nickname.
