THE I'AKKKB OF T1I08. SMITH,
We give Ik'Iow in full what woa pulilitheil
a. the "Confe.aioii" of Tlma. Smith, lie de
nied tn oa nil tho morning of hi. elocution that
lie had ever Hindu a ootilcaaiott, and authorized
the Sheriff to ao .lata Iron) tha fallow., lint
it i. proper here tn .into that after carefully
listening tn the rending of the whole thing:
about two hour, before hi. death, Smith did
not 10 much uhjoct to the trnthfulni'M of the
whole tlnteiiii-m, n. to il. publication nt all.
Ho admitted the ourreetnea. of the great por
tion of the ttiitetuenl aud of tbe material fact,
in regard to the murder. lie denied murclv
thut ho had ever aullinriised any per.on Ho
write or puliliali the feet, aa he bud at one time
or another given them. Tho portion! lie par
ticularly objected to are iTicluded in bracken.
The "t'oiiffeainii" Has published by a gen
tleman of line city, in no wny connected with
either of the paper, here. Ho gave the fact,
a. he heard them. Irom Smith uud other., aud
intended no wrong in doing en:
I win born in the year 1833, In llie State of
North Carolina. When I mi nine yeur. old
my mother dind, and father moved hi. I'mnily to
Teiiiifuee, where we remained about otie year,
aud then moved out went and tuttled nenr
Troy, Mtaaouri. Left without a mother,
though having a kind and indulgent futher,
and kind brother, mid aiatera, 1, while yet
quite young, formed a deeiru for traveling,
wild company, aud vice, which hove at hint
wrought my ruin. 1 ciiiinot remember when
tho time wit. tlmt I had not an nlmnrt ungov
ernable deairu lo travel. In the course of
event. I ut laat uaine out In Culiforuiu, nnd up
on my arrival, being forttiiiule, I wn. enabled
to live a life congenial to my tuate, and I form
ed friemla ainoiigel all clueaea of vicioua and
dcicrnlc men. .My life bit. nlmty. been a
diacouteuted nnd miserable one. Anxiety and
melancholy Imve been my constant compan
ions for many years.)- Alter roving through
California for reveral yenre, concluded lo try
Oregon, nnd it it suited, would aellle there.
This wa. in the year of ISG1. Sidney win
living lu .Marion county, on u farm, ut that
time. Alter remaining 'thure a .lion time, I
became diutiuVd, itnd concluded to try the
mine, nguin, and ut onoo made an oullit nnd
slurtfd to tbo idaliu mine. This wa. iu tbe
Kail ol Idtil.
IKrniii the time I got It, to the mine, until I
returned. I led a rather w ild mid reck lea.
Iile. (And while writing at this point I wi-h
lo correct n report lli.'t 1 have In nril daring my
ciiiiliiieiiient here. The report is thut 1 mur
dered two or three men whilo in Idaho. Now,
I wih to any Hint. n God i. my Jutlgo, I nev
er mu;dered mi iudiviJunl while in Idaho.
The report wna gotten up by .nine person of
vivid iinuginiiiiiin, na a compliment tn mo I
suppose.) I returned to Oregon ugain for the
lust time, in the Summer nf IHlit, mid a-before,
.topped with my brother. He aud bis
wife urged inc lotry and content myself In re
main with them for a while; and he said if I
Would make my home there he would give me
an interest in llie sleek, that might conclude
to act lie.
Sidney nt thut time thought of going to the
mine, iu Idnhn. nod afterwards minle tip his
mind and did go. II h it tho farm, slock, and
Ins family under my care. The agreement
between As wa, that 1 wna to remain on the
plice, keep it iu guild repair, see lu the stock,
and lake care ol the family during hi. absence.
I 'promised lo do all this, nnd Si Iney had I
think, full confidence in me. 0 ! that I could
Imve but fallen dead then and Ihere, or even
that my hriilber could have seen the monster
lurking in my Ihch.-i, for it was Iheu I first de
termined to gratify my passion.
Wo Ireijin-ntly received h tl'-rs from Sidney,
to thut I WH. enabled In keep pretty well in
formed in regard to his movement, nnd inten
tion.. (I will hero state that Hidnoy and his
wild wens so far as 1 know, on the veiy best
terms, ami did not quarrel, but nt till times
treated ench utht-r with the respect duo from
each. They never, to my knowledge, used
hard word, to each other )
We, at liuinc .continued tn live on goo I terms
until about thu middle uf November last, when
two nr more repnrl. were put in circulu
tion through lb,, iirihlmili'.nd implicit,
ting myself nnd my -brothers, oldest daughler.
then just past 15 Jenra nf nge. The repnrl.
were coninitially spreading, aud growing lo
greater magnitude. I did nil that I then could
dir to suppress it, ami if possible keep it from
the ear. r the mother nnd relutive. of the
family, but without cfTed; mill iu a shnrt time
afterward I found that tbe girl bad been up
preached tin the .object, llarbnra (Sidney",
wife) continued to hear morn of it, nnd one
evening threatened me that she would write In
Sidney mill give him all the facts, no I that be
would not aland h. I answered her, that if
she did 1 would kill her; sin. Il ej;t thut 1
would kill her if she mentioned her suspicion
lo any one. and I .nil now certain that she did
not write to Sidney, nor rpeuk nf llfli mailer to
any one Tor a mouth after llinl time. She did
nt last write In Sidney, but be did not get her
Idler. He got homo 1 tbiuk. about the mid
dle of .liuiiiarv. He wn. shortly afterwards
informed nf some uf Iho circuuislaiioes. though
I did not think that hi. wife had told him any
thing, ns .lie feared that I would put my llireut
into execution, aud 1 hud lirmly determined lo
do so it .ho hud done il. I remained at his
house soma time alter II" came Nnihiug was
said lo me II I ion t he ulfuir" at that time, but
inw tlmt thtrr uniin ttoulil lie trimlilt, nnd
concluded In try and si tile my affair, and get
away a. soon aa I could possibly do so. I bad
bought some entile in the country, aud Sidney
and I commenced then to get them home.
After wo bad been engnged ut it fur several
days, Sidney asked me if the report, be bad
been hearing in the neighlmrhiHal wero Irne.
I denied every tiling, and asked him if llarbara
ur Annie bad told iiiui such tilings, lie look
ed troubled and uneasy, and I then knew Hint
trouble was beginning lo brew. Nothing mure
wa. raid about tho matter for over a
week, when became to me at tha barn one
day and lold me that t bad ruined hi. family,
and that be would make mo snfTrr for it. lie
lold me that the girl hud partly confessed tbe
matter In bun, ami had told the whole thing lo
her mother. I told him that I did not believe
that she would say such a thing before uie.
Several time, .her that wa met away from the
house and talked about it. I had gone In at
tend lo .nine business in the neighborhood and
wa. returning to Kennedy', (win-re I had been
stopping a few day.,) on the lk of Match,
when I met Sidney. He wa. very much ex
cited, and tnld me that he now wauled to know
something about "this matter tbe people Were
talking about." and that he wauled me to go
right t the house with him ami settle the mai
ler. Ho informed rue that lihnda had con
fessed tho whole mailer to him, and that .he
would not deny it before inc. Home oilier
conversation pawed between 0. Which is not
proper tn publish. Ha also accused ine nf
squandering his properly. We Dually agreed
to tut et at the boose the nest inoruing. an!
then separated. I had determined, four day.
belore litis, that I would kill Hidner and llar
bara. Him, because 1 thought be would kill
me; and her, because the had told Sidney; and
beside, I did not wish the matter to gr any
further, a. I was tired of hearing It. lie bad
lold me that I should leave the country, and
lli.t if 1 did hot go he wnuld kill me. I was
determined lu not be driven ofT, but would
have gone if I bad time lo dispose of my cattle!
Now, lu make my confession complete,
am going to write that which make, my heart
sick 1 1 relate. 'Tis a sulj.Tt that I have en
deavored tn banish finiu my mind altogether.
I need not he told by other, that It i. horrible,
more horrible than the .in of Cain, fur mine
wa double murder, that of my brother and
sister, whom I should have prelected. And
would lo Uod that I bad died belore I conceiv
ed tb fatal determination On lit, morning
WHOLE NO. 794..
of the (Jill of March 1 started to Sidney' to
keep tnr appointment. I look with me Ken
nedy's revolver, (which I bad possessed myself
of without hi. knowledge,) and the kmle (one
which. I had owned since I left California). I
had bought a bottle uf whisky iu llrnwnsvllle
oiDo tiiuo before (about the 5th.) and had
drank about half of it. On this morning I
tnok.threo drink, of whisky from the bottle,
to try and nerve myself. The liquor did not
have much effect on me. fur I tbiuk I wn. duly
solier when I reached tho house. When I got
to within half a mile of tbo lioose I .topped
my horse, gut off, took the revolver from my
pookot and pluoed it In the breast of my shin
after putting on fresh cop.. , I had the knife
in a belt, fastened around me, I then took
another drink nf whisky, threw the lint tie away,
and determined then I would never taste an
other drop ua long as 1 lived. I then felt that
it wn. partially the catiso of my surrnw, and
trying then to compose myself, I got on my
hursoand rode towards where Sidney lived.
Wheu within about three hundred yard, of Ike
house Sidney rode op from another direction,
uud .aid, "Tom, I was just elnrting over to ton
whether yon were going to keep your word."
This excited uie some, but curbing my temper
we roiiu on to the, bouse. He hitched his
horse to the yard feiioet I hitched mine to the
corral fenoo, Sidney waited a moment for me
and wo wcut into thu house together, be walk
ing before. Uurharu, Hbodii Ami, and the
children were sitting iu llie i n when wa en
tered. Durham was silling nt the corner of
ttie lieurtli lurtliest Irons Iho door which we
oiiino through. Sidney eat down betwei- y
self aud llurtiara. Il'lioda was silling nt the
comer uf Iho bed, and wa. bending over some
knitting or sowing that she, was doing, nnd up
pcured to be iu deep distrt'x. Tbe whole linn
ily were gloomy, though there appeared tn be
sumo excitement in their laces, nhioti I could
nut underbuild. Tho children were tent out
to play, Hint we four could talk alum.. After
some remaiks on unimportant tulijeot., Sidney
said, "Now about line alluir; lllinda Ann, I
wutit to know, hero now, belore your uncle,
whether yru and bo are guiily nf what we
spoke of yesterday (hero bo stated tha mailer
iu full) nr not. She answered, No, or, 1 ilin
not. Ssdney then asked her if .be denied
what the hud confessed to him before. She
denied having told him . anything abuut il.
Her luullter also asked her so'inu similar ques
tions whiuh she answered in the same man
ner. Her father then mid, you shan't lie to
uie.ami iook a buckskin string and commenced
tying Her imtiiht, and told her that ho wn. irotnir
to whip her for lying lo him. Shn naked me
lu not let her lather whip her. I felt tempted
tu try to prevent llie whipping going on, but
knew that if I did Sidney would nerbuii. kill
me. 1 thought he had u pistol in hi. pocket
then. When he had struck her once nr twice
1 arose lo go, remarking that it did not suit
inc. meaning the wlrpping. I went out of
tlio uoor and pulled It lo utter me. Khoda
Ann wa. .till begging me to not let her father
whip her. 1 could .land it no lunger, but
pushed tho door open, stepped nne or two step.
in. uud shot Sidney. Ho wua standing iu the
miilille ol the Uoor. looking at me. and when I
shot, be fell, hit shoulder on lthoda Auu'i
dress. She was sitting on llie floor. After
shooting Milucv i iinuicdiiitefy shut at Burba
r. She was just rising from the chair. Slit
screamed, and ran past me. 1 put Ibe pistol
against her luce ns .lie passed, (which oc
uoiiul. for wound, a. per testimony.) and
snapped ibe third and Inst cap. She run out,
jumped on-r the fence, aud ran down intn Iho
orchard. I immediately followed her. and at
the feuoe I culled her tu come hack, and prom
ised her that 1 would nut hurt her if .ho did.
She started cbchng tow ard, me, and appeared
tu still bo nfrnnl of mo. The Imlo children
had followed me In the fenoe. nnd hern it wa.
that she told l.euru lo go in the boueo nod see
if her father was dead. I had taken her bv
Hie hand, when slui again thought Hint I was
going to kill her, aud then I led her to the
wood pile, where she caught her oldest daugh
ler ami begged her to "nnt let Tom hurl her."
1 tbootiht it better to not put otT any longer
whnt I would have lu do in save my own neck;
and I pulled her a. fast at 1 could tu the
siiinke house ( i he door was open ), and pulled
her in and shut and fastened llie door. She
gut out of my bands, nnd nil lb. time called
Khuda Ann tu not let Tom kill her. She had
now got down on her knees, and when I went
to use ibe knife .he caught it, and in .Hiking
with tho knile cut her on the cheek and hunil
ut Ibe same time. She then nave Up ami I
pushed her head back nnd gave her the fatal
slab, I turning the knile around severnl times,
that nil Iho arteries might be levered. She
settleil ilown on her lace and died. I then
washed my hand.. I lira I laid iho knife br
her, aud on seuend thought concluded lu tako
It away. I then went nut id the smoke house,
dosed llie dour, and look Hie knilu to the rear
of Iho smoke house and first wiped il on the
grass, and Mien cleaned toe blade by pluug
mg il into Hie griiuiid, I llien look a look al
Sidiiev t that till wa. right, and aa I camo
nut Iflimlu Aim ciiinc to ine and asked uie In
cut the siring off her arm. 1 cut it idT with
my piH-liet knife.' I then went tu the burn and
threw tile knife under tbo second flour uf the
barn. 1 think il went under live or six feet.
I will here state that money was not the nhjcot
in tin. muriier. .Money nny have been re
mined, but I had .ml limit; lu do Willi it.
Thero was money there that I could have ta
ken. I'rerh-y had some money there. But
my object was not mutiny.'
I regard my trial a. having been fnir and
jn-t. and bate no rcll.-i ti.ms in cast upnu Hie
olbuer. ot the court, the iurr, nor the witnesses
I feel Hint my life i. fully foif ited, nnd that I
will justly suffer tho must extreme penally uf
tho law. Hint nf execnliun on iho gallows.
Now, I would warn the young men. 0 I
remember the fute of lints who ten week, agu
thought a. Ilille nf ever having tn diu an ig
nniuiiiioiia death a. you do at this lime. Yoo.
young men, who have perhaps Just commenced
"dtiiikiug with a friend." remember that every
young man Mini. hi. level by the company he

be; if Immoral and licentious, lie will, more
than likely, prove to be of tha samn disposit
ion, and will surely one day suffer tbo penalty
of tbe luw. en less be reforms.
In conclusion, I am thankful In those who
have visited mo tu point out to inn snlvallon;
to the many who have come tn cheer uie du
ring my tedious confinement, and finally, I ei
tend lo the Sheriff, Mr. Hichardson, and those
