Jones had some very pronounced views. He was un- willing, despite the high character and good intentions of thousands of red men, to allow them to hold their own con its. He favored the establishment of such tribunals as that at Fort Smith, Arkansas, a border town, to which were brought criminals from the territory to be Hied, and where, before white magistrates, American citi- zens, they were given fair trials and wholesome justice. "1 have been opposed, " said he, "to allowing courts situ- at...ed in the Indian territory to have jurisdiction over all (lasses of crime, because the Indian courts are known to have fallen far short of the enforcement and administra- tion of justice. Crimes have been committed there be- tween Indians where the farce of a trial has been gone Hi rough with and bad men discharged without punish- ment at all when they have been guilty of the grossest crimes and these in great numbers. " At least those, he thought, who had committed the most serious crimes should be brought away from the scene of their wrongs and to some such court as that at Fort Smith, where, with judge and jury uninfluenced by the power of the wrong-doers, a fair trial, an impartial judgment and a just punishment could be given.
