Reed, J. Warren - New York Times, Sep. 10, 1912 - Muskogee, Okla. - Sep. 9 - J.
Warren Reed, a picturesque figure of the pioneer days in the Indian Territory
and Arkansas, died in the Muskogee Hospital today. For thirty years Mr. Reeed
was a prominent lawyer in the border days when Judge Isaac Parker reigned at Ft.
Smith and later at Muskogee. During his career he was known as the outlaw's
friend. Of the 134 murder cases where the accused was defended by Mr. Reed, only
two were hanged, and the remainder were acquitted or given light sentences. He
was author of "Hell on the Border," a book describing stirring scenes at the
old Federal Court at Ft. Smith.
