The role of the hangman is always an interesting subject. There are a number of cases where the hangman was a murderer who received a pardon on the understanding they would take over the vacant position as hangman. The logic behind this was that as this person was used to killing people it should not trouble them to kill others. Truth was these people were usually not cold blooded killers and their actions were usually on the spare of the moment. Also even if they were not killers themselves they were usually excluded from society because even though they were carrying out a task required by law they were still seen as taking someone life.
You know, the toll it takes on the man responsible for carrying it out makes a better argument for the abolition of the death penalty than most. I'd never really considered that aspect of it before.
Looks like UA-cam despised my previous comment and zapped it. So, let me try this again, Santee.... Had a happy and relaxing Thanksgiving. Hope you did too!
Excellent video Santee! An interesting character just like Albert Pierrepoint. Where did you film this? I noticed the cannon in the background. Have a great weekend and I hope you and Mrs. Santee had a very Happy Thanksgiving!
That lemon squeezer looks pretty good atop your dome, Santee. You have to respect a man who goes out of his way to perform his duties in as efficient a manner as possible. Not saying that I'd enjoy sharing a meal with him, but at least he didn't take pleasure in the suffering of others. Been a while since I've seen Bandolero! Might be time to go revisit that one. Always liked Jimmy and Dean, and Raquel Welch is hard not to like.
On your Patrons list, you’ve got me as Rich Frontier Citizen but I’m also still on there as Rich Lonestar Citizen. Please remove the Lonestar version. Thanks Santee! 👍 📰🗞 🤠
I know you already made a video off of a prompt I suggested, but one question I’ve had about settlers moving out west is, how often did people move back east?
That's a tough one to pinpoint. First of all, if they had land out here given to them by the government, moving east may not have been financially feasible. Some who found their fortune at the goldfields went back east with their riches.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Ok, but I wasn’t sure if there was an instance where a group of settlers that ran out of supplies part of the way, and decided to turn back, or there was a town that failed and everyone left to go back to what they knew before.
There was always a small percentage that turned around and went back east. People ran out of patience on the wagon trains and turned around. An Arkansas man took his slaves to the gold fields of California, didn't find much, and went back to Arkansas. An uncle I knew of, cut the telegraph lines down and left Texas and his extended family and his debts on the train to go back to Georgia. Men hit it lucky in the gold fields and went back to marry the gal he loved. Some had already gotten married to somebody else. Trains really made travel a much easier experience. Upon the arrival of one of the babies, women would load up and take the baby to back to see mama and aunt Martha. What is staggering to me is the persistence that pushed folks up the Oregon trail is spite of all the hardships.
Hope you and Mrs Santee had a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING... Love the hat and the video was great as always ! As a kid playing cowboys we said { 13 Steps to 13 Knots } . Can't wait to see what you have next .
From Time Life's The Old West: The Gunfighters "Maledon took somber pride in his hangings: only an expert could guarantee that the victim's fall would break his neck, thus sparing him slow strangulation. As Maledon drily remarked years later, 'I never hanged a man who came back to have the job done over.' " (Trachtman, 1974) "Once, when asked if he was haunted by the ghosts of his victims, he cheerily replied: 'No, because I reckon I hanged them too.' " (Trachtman, 1974)
Good morning Arizona Gost Riders. I look forward to seeing your video on Saturday morning. I hope you had a GREAT THANKSGIVING DAY. Ted from San Antonio Texas
My Great Uncles and Second cousin were in the FBI. My Great Uncle Steve worked a few notable cases in anti-terror 80s and 90s. My Great Uncle John used to bounce around to Narcos, Homicide and Sex Crimes. A lot of people that my Great Uncle John investigated, some of them were sentenced to either life in prison or death by lethal injection. My Uncle Steve worked the Oklahoma City Bombing and the First Bombing of the World Trade Center (the one with a van). He also worked the uni-bomber case and finally the aftermath of the Waco, Texas standoff. He worked in the arson team during Waco.
Once again I was thinking to myself "Santee should do a video about George Maledon" after talking to my English friend about the British hangman Albert Pierrepoint. And here you go and do it.From now on I will be sending you my video ideas and requests telepathically. 😂😆 Great job Santee, as always. Thank you.
Awesome topic. Never heard of George Maledon the "Prince of Hangmen" before. Glad I hung around until the very end. I was hanging on your every word. He was the host at many a necktie party. Invitation only from Judge Parker. To say he did not git ta know them long is a bit of a stretch. Interesting that in addition to his salary he earned $5.00 for each hanging. The court pay records may be a way of obtaining a number of how many people he hanged.
Quite interesting fellow. It's a shame he was in the other 1st Arkansas instead of the official State unit 1st Arkansas. Hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving.
Santee, I have been slack. I have not seen this video and it is 3 months old! I guess staying po'd at liberals has dulled my senses. This was great. I always admired George Maledon. He was a 2 gun pistol packin', no nonsense guy. And since he even hanged the ghosts as well as the miscreants themselves, I guess he had to be the most successful hangman the old west ever knew. Oh if only he and Parker were around today.
My grandfather's great uncle, Cherokee Bill was hanged at Ft. Smith...It was always a family legend what he said to the judge when asked if he had anything to say before he was hanged by the neck until he was dead, dead, dead. As kids, we thought that was pretty spicy!
Hello, I am your fan. And fond of old west movies. You made video on coffee, cigarette in old west can you make video about tea and chinese workers in old west.
Spent mine in a hospital for surgery but you get the jist I had bland yuck food and what was good wasn't all that good either it was alright since I needed the surgery to remove a gal some and a gallbladder with another stone tricking my bodey to thinking my liver was far worse then it is
So very interestingly informative and inspiring video, I really liked and enjoyed it. I got a lot of inspiration for the old west frontier, paranormal and frutigar aero/Y2K techno-utopian futurism story and series that I'm working on wrand illustrating for. Great job and well done,keep up the great work. I learned a lot about the old west frontier and George Maledon, who i didn't know anything about till just now. Thanks for the history lesson on different individuals from the old west frontier, I really enjoyed it. I'm definitely going to create some old west inspired characters for my story. The part of my story that I'm writing today is where my characters are in a old west frontier/1920s styled manor that is also a shrine, that has been overrun by entity monsters and entity beings. There's a quija board in the story too. My storys main character Mercia Hawkins is a old west lawman deputy and paranormal investigator/documentarian researcher as his second job. His father Thomason Thatcher is the sheriff of Faron City. I hope you all had a good thanksgiving. Happy holidays.
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks. Right now I’m working on brainstorming part 4 of my story dream notes continuation for the story and naming the characters and places that I dreamed up already. Four of the characters that I dreamed up and named were: Xelva/Selva Henley, Lek Zephyrus , Lige/Lijah Zephram ( Elijah Zephram) and Xilda Harlan. I’m using my dreams to write my story and series and then doing illustrations from dream images. I think I might be starting to pick up on the spiritual science of the mind and a little bit and controlling my dreams to some degree.
Talk about being able to leave your job at the office, and not carry it home. I'd say that George Maledon was able to do just that. Besides the obvious storyline, I always enjoy the audio/visuals thrown in. Of course, on this particular subject, not too graphic... another great one, Santee. 🤠👏🏻👏🏻
Interesting topic! 2 questions which Jimmy Stewart movie was the clip taken from ? And, which movie was the scene from with the desperado swinging back and forth like a pendulum ?looks like a scene from a comedy I have forgotten or not seen. Thanks for the great entertainment!
I got Unsubscribed by UA-cam. I immediately resubscribed. Judge Parker was an interesting man personally opposed to Capital Punishment Punishment, he only ordered it when the law required it. Or at least that is what i have in some primary sources.
I'm sure the job weighed heavily on him. He knew it needed to be done, and he did his best NOT to hang folks. There were just a lotta baddies in that territory!
@@ArizonaGhostriders That is what I have thought, he did his duty as he saw it. He also was a judge that didn't believe in over or undercharging. I'm sure he had had a struggle with what he had to do and his personal beliefs. A weaker man would have quit
My grandfather and an uncle went to see the last public hanging in the US, in Owensboro Kentucky. My dad wasn't allowed to go along with them because he was considered too young. This was a pitifully botched execution. The rope broke on the first drop. On the second drop the executioner was so so drunk that a lawman pushed him aside and pulled the trap himself. You can find the whole event online.
I enjoy facts woven with humor while telling the story of the American Old West. This channel is really special, and I always look forward to these brief glimpses into our nation's past.
Santee I never in a gajillion years would of thought I would ever be playing or dressing this one and I'm not sure you play to many video games most cowboys I can do but this is for a mortal Kombat show and have been asked to do erron black I can't find much research on the character or concept art other then when his hat gets knocked off I seem to have the hair for it or lack of any advice ????
@@ArizonaGhostriders I was afraid you were gonna say that ok ill seek out a millennial ☹️😭you know I'm afraid I may misbehave and someone may have to kill me I think I'm just gonna decline this part thanx anyway
Very interesting topic this week. It impresses me that you come up with such great topics week after week. Thanks. Be safe out there, and take it easy man.
Contrary to the portrayal, that gallows didn't appear to be very scientifically designed. While admittedly in the subsequent century, Mr. Pierrepoint developed a set of tables for the "drop," based upon body weight. The lighter the "hangee" to be, the longer the drop, ranging from five to eight feet, based on 125 pounds or less to 225 pounds or more. That multi-unit appears to be geared to slow strangulation, although perhaps in some cases it was well deserved. Pierrepoint also performed executions at Nuremburg after WW2. Those were the "lucky ones," getting a quick "hangman's break," as opposed to those hanged by the less proficient or more sadistic.
The original tables were concocted in the 19th century and even then hangmen kind of used their own judgement. There were still mistakes, though. Eva Dugan, the only woman hanged in Arizona, lost her head in 1930.
Brings to mind the old pre TV days of Gunsmoke on the radio series William Conrad (starred on TV as Cannon private detective) played Matt Dillon. One episode featured a hangman who evidently despised by the "good folk". When Matt Dillon meets him he comments on live radio " I always recognize one of your clients Hangman because they are always well hung." The other actors had to step in to adlib loudly to cover for his hysterical laughter. Great fiddle music at the end. More please reminds me of my Scots Grandfather.
@ArizonaGhostriders yeah the oak cemetery is the resting place of at least twenty-eight outlaws hanged by Judge Issac C. Parker and several more that were sentenced to hang but died in jail. Also interred are over a hundred Marshals, Deputies and Court appointed officials, some of whom lost their lives while serving the cause of justice. Also buried here is the Founder of Fort Smith, an Arkansas Governor, fifteen Fort Smith Mayors, and a hundred twenty-two confederate soldiers.
I was in Johnson City Tennessee earlier this week. I wonder how close to his grave I was? The cemetery I visited had graves as early as some Revolutionary War veterans.
We need him and Jdg Parker now!
In some cases I would agree.
We also need jona hex and the punisher
My five year old now hums your intro music, if that tells you how much he is a fan of your show
I love that!
If you ever find yourself near Ft. Smith it’s well worth stopping to visit the old federal courthouse. Lots of history and a fine museum too.
I plan to! Thanks.
Episodes like this are why I hang around this channel. It's always great noose when I see that there's a new video!
HA!
Thank you Santee. Glad I never got to meet the man personally. :) Have a great weekend.
Same here!
I got all choked up watching this episode!🤠
LOL!
Well, I'd say that unlike some of his Wild West contemporaries he hung around for a long time.
LOL!
An American Albert Pierrepoint. The most prolific British hangman. Experts in suspended sentences. 😂
HAAH!

Kinda surprised he'd stick his neck out on such a knotty subject...
That's a bit of a stretch!

Saturday mornings: Watching Santee while drinking a cup 'o Joe from my Arizona Ghostriders mug. 👍
Awesome and thanks!
Excellent video Santee! An interesting character just like Albert Pierrepoint. Where did you film this? I noticed the cannon in the background. Have a great weekend and I hope you and Mrs. Santee had a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks. I filmed this in the museum at work. That canon is from the 1960 movie the Alamo starring John Wayne. It's fiberglass!
Thanks and hope you and Mrs. Santee had a Happy Thanksgiving too!
Yes

After the judge says that Billy the Kid says you can go to hell hell hell lol I love that movie Young Guns, and Young Guns 2

Oops, gotchya. Fixed for next week.
Can you do a video on gambling cheaters and the devices they use. P.S tell Dan i want my loaded dice and deck back.
OK!
Nice! Being a hangman must have been one of the most stressful and nightmarish jobs ever.

In Fort Smith Arkansas the potters field is quite a nice area were the unclaimed executed ended up but unfortunately no headstones
Awww, that's great info. Sad about the no headstones...
@ArizonaGhostriders yeah the oak cemetery is the resting place of at least twenty-eight outlaws hanged by Judge Issac C. Parker and several more that were sentenced to hang but died in jail.
Also interred are over a hundred Marshals, Deputies and Court appointed officials, some of whom lost their lives while serving the cause of justice. Also buried here is the Founder of Fort Smith, an Arkansas Governor, fifteen Fort Smith Mayors, and a hundred twenty-two confederate soldiers.
@ArizonaGhostriders but judge parker is buried several blocks away at the Fort smith national cemetery
Well, bringing the Old World to the New World, hm? What an interesting name for a German. Maledon.
I found a bunch of 'em going back to the 1790s out of Insheim.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Wow! What part of Germany is that in? My family comes from southern Germany, Black Forest.

You're welcome.
I was in Johnson City Tennessee earlier this week. I wonder how close to his grave I was? The cemetery I visited had graves as early as some Revolutionary War veterans.
Johnson City cemetery is I think the place.
