He married W INEFORD BIRNEY6 1781 in Guilford Co., North Carolina7, daughter ofWILLIAM BIRNEY and MARY ?. She was born March 10, 1767 in North Carolina8, and died January 09, 1850 inRockcastle County, Kentucky8,9.

Notes for THOMAS FISH:Per family tree of Juanita Witt, Thomas Fish (1755-1840) emigrated from England, was liberated at age 21.Volunteered to the Revolutionary Army. Moved to Kentucky about 1800, lived in Madison & Rockcastlecounties.

From letter written by Jesse Fish in 1869 to his nephew, James S. Fish of Crab Orchard, KY: "My grandfathersFish and Birney are our remotest ancestors that I have had any particular account of and most of myinformation on that subject was long since verbally obtained from Mother [Wineford Birney Fish] and of coursemy narrative will be a little indefinite but as she appeared to be gifted with a very sound recollection I incline tobelieve that her statements were generally near about correct. I don't recollect of ever hearing the name of mygrandfather (your Great Grandfather Fish, who emigrated from England and settled in the Colony of NorthCarolina something over one hundred years since but I have no recollection at this time of ever hearinganything said in relation to the name of the county where he lived and the most particular account I ever hadconcerning his is that he was killed by a hostile Indian while he was riding on a hunting excursion near a certainwater course in N.C. that has been going by the name of Fish's River. I have no account as to the number ofhis children, but have been informed that his son Thomas (my Father) was a small boy at the time of hisFather's death and his Mother having previously died, caused him to be placed in the hands of somedisinterested individuals who (as I am informed) seemed to care very little about his future welfare, therefore hewas compelled thereafter to stem the tide of adversity the best way that he could until relieved by becoming ofsufficient age to manage his own concern, and subsequently to that time he joined the army as a volunteer andserved a tour of duty on an expedition against the Tories and Indians who were being very troublesome to thefrontier settlers in that part of the country during the time of the old Revolutionary war. After his return from thearmy he frequently was speaking of having marched through a village then in North Carolina called MoravianTown where he saw a Tory man hanging by the neck and from appearance had been in that condition for a dayor two and the soldiers were not permitted to take him down in order that he might be buried. About the year1781 he was married to my Mother (late Wineford Birney) she being the eldest child of William Birney who Ibelieve was residing in Guilford County, N.C. and I suppose (from information) that my Father and Motheremigrated from that State to Madison County, Kentucky, packing a few household goods and their five childrenon horses traveling on Boone Trace by way of Cumberland Gap and Hazle Patch through a wilderness andsettled on Paint Lick Creek a small distance above the mouth of Walnut Meadow fork about the year 1791,while Indians were being very troublesome in the way of killing and robbing of imigrants on that route." ...

"Sometime about the year 1800 they again moved with their 9 children before named and settled on waters ofRoundstone some three fourths of a mile from mouth of Big Clear Creek, then in Madison County, but aboutthe year 1810 was taken into Rockcastle. After settling at the last named place they had an increase of threemore children, one daughter and two sons, the youngest one of all being a boy that was born dead and, ofcourse, never had a given name, the two surviving ones being named Jane and Pleasant, making the totalnumber of their living children eleven (11) all of them were grown and married a considerable length of timepreviously to the death of our parents. My father continued to live the balance of his days at the same placewhere he first settled on waters of Roundstone and there died the 13th day of August in the year 1840 and wasburied next day at the old Grave Yard near to where Renfro Creek Meeeting House formerly stood. He had norecord of his age but was supposed to be near 85 (eighty five) years old at the time of his death."

Per letter by Jesse Fish, Jan. 1, 1869: "He [Thomas Fish] had acted as Justice of the Peace and member ofRockcastle County Court for some eight or ten years and afterwards was appointed by the Governor andcommissioned to fill the office of high Sheriff under whom I acted as deputy during his term of two years."

Notes for W INEFORD BIRNEY:Per letter written by Jesse Fish to his nephew, James S. Fish, Jan.1, 1869: "My mother (your grandmotherWineford Fish) being his [Thomas Fish's] widow, continued to live several years at the old place where he haddied, but finally went to stay with her daughter Ann Smith near to Mount Vernon, where she continued to remainuntil the time of her death which I think occurred in the Spring of 1850, and she was buried by the side of yourGrandfather. I was away from home at the time of her death and burial and therefore have failed to recollectthe particular date. To the best of my recollection I have heard her say that she was born on the 10th day ofMarch 1767, which made her about 84 (eighty four) years of age at the time of her death."

Notes for THOMAS FISH:Per letter from Jesse Fish to his nephew, James S. Fish, dated Jan.1, 1869: "Your Uncle Thomas was the first DeputySurveyor that ever done business of that kind in the County of Rockcastle about the year 1810 and 1811. WilliamSmith (his brother in law) being principle surveyor at that time. In the fall of 1812 while our Government was engagedat war with Great Britton and their Indian allies, the latter became very troublesome to our frontier settlers between theOhio River and Lakes of Canada. Consequently the governor of Kentucky issued a call for Volunteers in order to repelthe savages, and in a short time a Brigade numbering over 2000 Mounted Troops were proceeding on their way toWabash River in order to be mustered into service at Vincense. Your Uncle Thomas with his elder Brother (WilliamFish) joined a company that went on that expedition and served a short tour of duty as Rangers being detached for thepurpose of guarding the inhabitants on the waters of Wabash beyond where the savages had lately been killing andscalping of men, women and children in Indiana Territory and after obtaining an honorable discharge from the armyboth of them immediately returned home to kentucky where your Uncle William continued to reside the remainder ofhis days. "Your Uncle Thomas Fish bore the name of being a young man of uncommon steady habits and was considered by ourparents to be the most sensible one of all their sons. He seemed to have a considerable inclination to travel and had aparticular desire to visit some of our maternal relatives who were then a portion of them living in Mississippi and othersin Louisiana. Consequently he left home in the Spring of 1813 and prodeeded directly to Boonsborough and thereembarked as a hand on a Flat Boat which was loaded with cargo of Tobacco, etc., on which he descended on theKentucky, Ohio & Mississippi Rivers to the City of Natchez, and after landing at that place and leaving the Boat hevisited his grand Uncle (David Birney) an old settler then living some five or six miles from the City, and was bearingthe name of a respectable citizen and was thought to be in a good condition as to property, etc. and after remainingseveral days at the house of Uncle David he set out and traveled about fifty or sixty miles across the country in awestwardly direction to where Uncle William Birney (a brother to our Mother) was then living some ten or twelve milesfrom the old post of Wacheta which is now known by the name of Monroe Court house, it being the county seat ofWasheta County in the State of Louisiana. "After arriving at Uncle William Birneys and remaining and laboring for wages mostly on a farm, he then changed hisoccupation and went to trading on water and running a Keel Boat until he finally ascended the Washita River a distanceof some 300 miles (by way of the river) and took up his residence in Clark County not far from where Arkadelphia isnow situated, and where he was living at the time Arkansas Territory was established in the year 1819. And in the sameyear he was appointed and commissioned by the Governor to fill the Office of Justice of the Peace and afterwards waselected to represent the people of Clark County and served in the lower branch of the first Legislative body that everassembled in that Territory. There was a very peculiar incident occurred at the time of his election and as I never heardof a similar circumstance before nor since, I have concluded to report it in this short biographical sketch. It sohappened that he did not lose a solitary vote in the Township where he was living although he had two competitors andone of them a Doctor in good standing. Subsequently he was married to a Miss Emily Hemphill with whom I was

3

personally acquainted in the year 1819 when I was detained in that country on account of sickness and being confinedat her Mother's house in time of my worst affliction. Emily (who afterwards became his wife, appeared to possess avery mild disposition, had good educatin and was generally respected. I returned to Kentucky in the spring of 1820which was previous to the time of their marriage and was subsequently informed that the Legislature of that Territoryhad lately abolished the Circuit Court System and that your Uncle Thomas Fish was then acting under an appointmentas Judge of a Quarterly Court with the jurisdiction formerly appertaining to the Judges of Circuit Courts. I suppose hewas holding the Judgeship when taken down with a disease in his side of which he died about the year 1823, leaving hiswife without any children, they never having but one and that he outlived."

Notes for DAVID FISH:Per letter from Jesse Fish to his nephew, James S. Fish, dated Jan. 1, 1869: "Your Uncle David Fish also emigrated tothat country by water in the Spring of 1817 and became a citizen of Clark County and followed cutting and rafting ofcypress trees out of Washeta River which he generally was selling down on the coast of the Mississippi for a few yearsbefore he was married to Miss Hariet Hemphill, a sister to your Uncle Thomas' wife, and who appreared to be a cleverkind hearted woman with tolerable good education and was well esteemed. I have been informed that he wasoccupying a good farm of his own and was also running a cotton gin until the spring of 1832, and he shipped a cargo ofcotton down to New Orleans and while there was struck with Cholera where he died and was buried in a publiccemetery belonging to the City. Some few years previously to his death I was informed that he had served one or twoterms as Senator in the General Assembly of that Territory. He was cut off in the prime of life being about forty yearsof age and left his wife with only one child a small daughter and the last time I heard from them they were both in badhealth, and in all probability are now dead."

He was Justice of the Peace, a member of Rockcastle County Court and captain ofa Militia Company at the time and after he had served as a private in the Army, also was promoted to the officeof Colonel of the 79th Regiment of Kentucky Militia. He closed his official career by filling the office of HighSheriff of Rockcastle County, under whom I acted as Deputy for his term of two years which expired at the endof 1821. At the times of his filling those different stations they were considered to be quite honorable, but at thepresent time and for a few years past it appears as though most of the highest functionaries in our governmenthave been disgracing the offices they were pretending to fill."

Cecil lived there until his death when the farm was purchasedby Rick's side of the family.

Along with the graves of James & Sarah Fish are the graves of 2 slaves. Rick Hysinger told a story that he hadheard from his grandfather that when the Fish family lived on the farm there was a large orchard on the hillwhere the house was. When the fruit was ripe the slaves would take some of it down into the hollow & makewine or other spirits for the use of the household (& others no doubt!).

Notes for JUDGE JOHN EVANS CARSON:Known as 'Judge' John E. Carson.

Per 'The Real Wild West' by Michael Wallis: "On April 23, 1875, Molly's revered father, Judge John EvansCarson, was shot and killed on the church steps in Crab Orchard. In a strange way, he was a belated victim ofthe Civil War. A longtime adversary who still quarreled with Judge Carson because of Carson's fervent pro-Confederate stance apparently ambushed him 'Over war talk," as one witness put it."

Per note from Francis Hubert, "Minnie Carson Bennett and Minnie Hill both told of this account of the death ofJudge John Evans Carson: 'Uncle Judge was killed on the church steps by a man named Smith, over war talk.'Minnie Bennett was 87 at the time she wrote, and she left Kentucky when she was 12 years old. She said, "Iremember the tape on holes where he was shot." She would have been 8 years old at the time."

From 'The Interior Journal' of Stanford, KY Friday, April 28, 1876: "A BLOODY MURDER - Judge CarsonAssassinated" "Crab Orchard was the scene, on Sunday last, of a most foul murder. Judge J.E. Carson a useful andrespected citizen of that place, aged 72 years, while on his way to church, was shot and instantly killed, within afew steps of the church door, by a man named John Q. Smith, also a resident of Crab Orchard. Without anywarning, and from the rear, Smith commenced shooting at Carson, and after firing three shots, any one ofwhich would have proved fatal, a Mr. Foley caught Smith and endeavored to prevent him shooting again, butSmith, who is a very strong man, shook him away at the same time threatening to shoot Foley, if he furtherinterferred. He then fired two more shots, both taking effect in the Judge's body. Smith made no effort toescape, and when, on being arrested, was asked why he did the shooting, only replied "that someone had to killhim, and it might have as well been me, as any one else." He is a man about 50 years old, a carpenter by trade,and is naturally, very reticent, and for this reason, and the fact of the bloody deed, is supposed, by many, to becrazy. It is said that he has cherished an ill feeling for Judge Carson since January last, when the Judge, in hiscapacity as Asscessor of Crab Orchard, applied to him for his list. Some warm words issued between them,

15

and ended by Smith running Carson out of the house with a hatchet. Smith waived an examining trial and as hiscase is not a bailable one, he will be held in jail here, to be tried for an indictment for murder at the next term ofthe Circuit Court--provided the friends of Judge Carson do not fear that justice will be thwarted and mete out amore certain punishment to him. Fearing this, the Jail has been nightly guarded by a number of young mensummoned for the purpose. Such fiendish acts as the one recorded, deserve the quickest and direstpunishment of the law, else no person in the country can feel himself in the least safe. If Smith is insane, heought to be ironed and placed in an asylum, if not, then severest penalty of the law can hardly atone for hisdreadful crime."

From 'The Interior Journal' of Stanford, KY Friday, April 28, 1876: "AN EXCITING SCENE" "On last Wednesday morning, a very exciting scene occurred at the Court House. The man, John Smith,who killed Judge Carson, was brought out to the Court House to see whether or not the case could be tried atthis term. Four sons of Mr. Carson, John, James, Joe and David, came into the room. The Court on hearingthat they were armed, had the Sheriff to search them, but no pistols were found. Smith was remanded to Jail,with a guard of six or eight men, and on reaching the Court yard, young Joe Carson, sprang forward with adrawn Navy Revolver, and, placing it almost against the breast of Smith, attempted to fire, but the pistolsnapped. The other three sons were present with weapons, but by the courage of the guard, they were all fourcaught and disarmed, and Smith's life saved, so far. The two young men mostly engaged in the affair, weretaken before the Judge, who, at first, ordered them to give bond in $500 each, to keep the peace, but onreflection, concluded to take their word of honor to do no further violence to the prisoner, and they were thusset at liberty. The sympathy of the entire community is with these young men and we heard numbers regret thatyoung Carson did not succeed in avenging the death of his aged father."

From 'The Interior Journal' of Stanford, KY, October 20, 1876: "John Smith, charged with murdering Judge Carson, at Crab Orchard was brought up from Louisville lastWednesday, and his case will, in all probability, be called this morning, and tried during the term. The casecreates much excitement."

From 'The Interior Journal' of Stanford, KY, October 27, 1876: "CIRCUIT COURT - TRIAL OF JOHN SMITH" "Promptly at nine o'clock, last Saturday morning, the Court called the case of the Commonwealth againstJohn Smith, charged with the murder of John E. Carson, at Crab Orchard last April. The court room was filledwith people from all parts of the county, who were anxious to hear the trial. It was with great difficulty that a jurywas obtained, as nearly everybody had come to an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused fromreading the papers or from rumors. It took nearly an entire day to get a jury, but finally the following jurymenwere sworn: A.K. Denny, J.M. Elder, Jno. W. Logan, J.B. McKinney, G.N. Bradley, John Jones, A.M. Jones,John Dinwiddie, Jno. Menifee, George Bright, George Tribble and T.M. White. After they were sworn, theattorneys for the defense put in the plea of not guilty on account of the insanity of the accused, to which plea ofinsanity the attorney for the Commonwealth replied in effect that it was simulated, not a real insanity, and thatthe case of the murder was jealousy. In other words, that there was a 'woman at the bottom' of the entire actsof the defendant Smith. A great many witnesses were examined, especially for the defense, the latter to provethe monomania of Mr. Smith. The witnesses for the prosecution, in giving their evidence in chief, necessarilyconfined themselves to the act and circumstances of the killing, which occurred on a Sunday morning in Aprillast, in front of the Baptist church door, at Crab Orchard. Judge Carson, the man killed, was shot by Smith witha revolver, five times, either of which is thought would have produced death. Such was the advanced age (72years) of the deceased. Divine services were just about to begin. A Mr. Foley was with Mr. Carson, who askedSmith not to shoot, and held him for a moment, but Smith was bent on killing Judge Carson. After shooting allthe loads out of his revolver, but one, (which failed to fire), Smith walked deliberately across the street wherehis carpenter shop was situated, but was halted and arrested and taken to Stanford to jail. There was someproof that Carson, who was town Assessor of Crab Orchard, went to Smith's shop to get a list of his taxableproperty, some months before the killing, and that Smith greatly abused him. There was also some proof that acertain woman who lived near Crab Orchard, was visited now and then by both Smith and Carson, privately.Some proof was also given that Smith sometimes drank liquor, but not to excess. His character was proven byall the witnesses to have been that of a quiet, peaceable, unoffensive man, one who rarely ever said a word toanyone even on business. That he had a great impediment in his speech, and did not like to talk. At the close ofthe statements as to the killing, etc, the Commonwealth rested her case in chief. The defense then introducedtheir witnesses to prove the plea of insanity. The sister of Smith, with whom he lived, the niece of Smith and thebrother, swore that Smith acted strangely for several months before the killing. That his health was bad, had butlittle appetite, was restless and lost much sleep. That he imagined there were several men after him to kill him.That there was a combination of men to ruin his character and break him up in business. That on one occasion

16

he told his sister, a maiden lady of fifty years of age, one night at home, that there were three men around thehouse who had come to harm him. Smith would not be satisfied until his sister or some one else, went for thetown marshal and another person, to look for the three men. The marshal and another came, examined thepremises, and told Smith no body was there, and that if he was afraid to stay there, to go and stay all night withone of them. Smith accepted the invitation, and went and staid all night with a Mr. DeBord. Other witnesses,among them Col. W.G. Welch, a Mr. Myers and others, testified to acts of monomania, or insanity. The defenseintroduced two physicians, who had heard all, or nearly all of the evidence and after defining the variousspecies of insanity, said that, if the evidence was true, as detailed by the witnesses, then in their opinion asmedical men, the man, John Smith, was of unsound mind. Other witness said that in their opinion, Smith wasinsane. The foregoing are the main details of the evidence in the defense. After this, the Commonwealthintroduced rebutting evidence to show that Smith was a sane man. These were not medical men, however, butwere the men who had known Smith for years. Many of them said they believed Smith to be of sound mind,from conversations they had with him on certain occasions. One other physician testified for the prosecution,but his evidence differed but little from that of the other two physicians who testified at the instance of thedefense. At the conclusion of the testimony for and against the prisoner, the court gave full instructions to thejury, and adjourned them at five o'clock Tuesday evening, until after supper. The sheriff kept them together untilhalf past six, p. m., when they were called together and the argument was opened for the defense by J.W.Alcorn, Esq., in a forcible speech of about one hour. He was followed by Col. G.W. Dunlap for the prosecutionin a speech of much power. He spoke over an hour and a quarter. After this, the jury were discharged untilWednesday morning, at 9 o'clock. At that hour, W.O. Hansford addressed the jury for the defense for over anhour. His speech was a feeling and good one. He was followed by Judge M.C. Saufley for the prosecution in asomewhat lengthy speech, but it had a seemingly powerful effect upon the jury and the audience. Next and lastcame Col. T.P. Hill, for the defense, in one of the finest and ablest efforts he ever made in behalf of a criminalat our bar. His speech, nearly two hours long, was logical, beautiful, eloquent and convincing. The case wasclosed by Commonwealth Atoorney George Denny. Mr. Denny, as a prosecutor, has but few equals in anydistrict of the State. To say that he did justice to the Commonwealth, would be only a slight compliment. Hiseffort in the prosecution was bold and telling, and showed him to be capable of attending to the public interestin the field to which he has been chosen. A number of ladies attended the speaking, and seemed to be muchentertained. The case was given to the jury at 6 o'clock, and they retired and remained in their room for abouttwo hours, without making a verdict. The Judge then adjourned them for the night, but called them together thenext morning and they remained out until nearly noon. Being wholly unable to agree, they came in and soannounced to the court, and they were therefore discharged. How they stood in the matter, no one yet knows,as they made a solemn vow among themselves not to let the public know. Smith, of course, was remanded tojail, where he will remain until the next term of this court in April, and all the long and tedious trial will have to begone through with again. Four days and a part of two nights were spent in the investigatin of the Smith case,which is quite one-third of the entire term."

From 'The Interior Journal' of Stanford, KY April 27, 1877: "CIRCUIT COURT NOTES" "The greater portion of the time of the Court since our last report has been taken up in the trial of JohnSmith, who our readers will remember, shot and killed Judge J.E. Carson, at Crab Orchard on the 23rd day ofApril, 1876. This is the second trial of the case, and as it has created great excitement throughout the county, itwas impossible to obtain but four jurors out of the regular panel, to-wit: Thomas Robinson, Liberty Green, PerryLand and P.L. Simpson, and the Court being satisfied that a full jury could not be obtained in the county,appointed Mr. T.T. Daviess a special Sheriff to go to Boyle county and summons sixty men. On Friday morningabout forty men, in obedience to his summons appeared in Court, from which the additional following jurorswere obtained: Jeff. Hudson, Wm. Calvert, Peter Bonia, Anthony May, Wm. Dibon, J.N. Prewitt, SamuelMcDowell and Nick McDowell, and the panel having been completed the jury was sworn in. The taking of thetestimony was commenced at noon Friday, and after the examination of some thirty or forty witnesses wasconcluded on Tuesday morning, when the charges to the jury having been agreed upon, the argument of thecase was begun. The plea of the defendant was that he was at the time of the killing, and is now, insane. Hewas very ably defended, the speeches of some of his counsel being especially comprehensive and eloquent.Commonwealth Attorney George Denny, Jr., closed the argument on Wednesday about 10 o'clock, with one ofhis best and most forcible speeches, and the case was then given to the jury, who, after a short retirementreturned the following verdict: "We, the jury, find the defendant, John Smith, guilty of murder and fix as hispunishment, confinement in the Penitentiary during his natural life." The verdict appears to give almost unusualsatisfaction as it will be easy enough to change Mr. Smith's residence from the Penitentiary to the Asylum if theofficers at the former institution discover the much longed for insanity. Since the first trial of the case in Octoberlast, Smith has been confined for safe keeping in the jail at Louisville, and we are informed by the Clerk of theCourt that his case has already cost the Commonwealth over $2,000. It is to be hoped that it is at last ended."

Notes for JUDGE JOHN EVANS CARSON:Known as 'Judge' John E. Carson.

Per 'The Real Wild West' by Michael Wallis: "On April 23, 1875, Molly's revered father, Judge John EvansCarson, was shot and killed on the church steps in Crab Orchard. In a strange way, he was a belated victim ofthe Civil War. A longtime adversary who still quarreled with Judge Carson because of Carson's fervent pro-Confederate stance apparently ambushed him 'Over war talk," as one witness put it."

Per note from Francis Hubert, "Minnie Carson Bennett and Minnie Hill both told of this account of the death ofJudge John Evans Carson: 'Uncle Judge was killed on the church steps by a man named Smith, over war talk.'Minnie Bennett was 87 at the time she wrote, and she left Kentucky when she was 12 years old. She said, "Iremember the tape on holes where he was shot." She would have been 8 years old at the time."

From 'The Interior Journal' of Stanford, KY Friday, April 28, 1876: "A BLOODY MURDER - Judge CarsonAssassinated" "Crab Orchard was the scene, on Sunday last, of a most foul murder. Judge J.E. Carson a useful andrespected citizen of that place, aged 72 years, while on his way to church, was shot and instantly killed, within afew steps of the church door, by a man named John Q. Smith, also a resident of Crab Orchard. Without anywarning, and from the rear, Smith commenced shooting at Carson, and after firing three shots, any one ofwhich would have proved fatal, a Mr. Foley caught Smith and endeavored to prevent him shooting again, butSmith, who is a very strong man, shook him away at the same time threatening to shoot Foley, if he furtherinterferred. He then fired two more shots, both taking effect in the Judge's body. Smith made no effort toescape, and when, on being arrested, was asked why he did the shooting, only replied "that someone had to killhim, and it might have as well been me, as any one else." He is a man about 50 years old, a carpenter by trade,and is naturally, very reticent, and for this reason, and the fact of the bloody deed, is supposed, by many, to becrazy. It is said that he has cherished an ill feeling for Judge Carson since January last, when the Judge, in hiscapacity as Asscessor of Crab Orchard, applied to him for his list. Some warm words issued between them,and ended by Smith running Carson out of the house with a hatchet. Smith waived an examining trial and as hiscase is not a bailable one, he will be held in jail here, to be tried for an indictment for murder at the next term ofthe Circuit Court--provided the friends of Judge Carson do not fear that justice will be thwarted and mete out amore certain punishment to him. Fearing this, the Jail has been nightly guarded by a number of young mensummoned for the purpose. Such fiendish acts as the one recorded, deserve the quickest and direstpunishment of the law, else no person in the country can feel himself in the least safe. If Smith is insane, heought to be ironed and placed in an asylum, if not, then severest penalty of the law can hardly atone for hisdreadful crime."

From 'The Interior Journal' of Stanford, KY Friday, April 28, 1876: "AN EXCITING SCENE" "On last Wednesday morning, a very exciting scene occurred at the Court House. The man, John Smith,who killed Judge Carson, was brought out to the Court House to see whether or not the case could be tried atthis term. Four sons of Mr. Carson, John, James, Joe and David, came into the room. The Court on hearingthat they were armed, had the Sheriff to search them, but no pistols were found. Smith was remanded to Jail,with a guard of six or eight men, and on reaching the Court yard, young Joe Carson, sprang forward with adrawn Navy Revolver, and, placing it almost against the breast of Smith, attempted to fire, but the pistolsnapped. The other three sons were present with weapons, but by the courage of the guard, they were all fourcaught and disarmed, and Smith's life saved, so far. The two young men mostly engaged in the affair, weretaken before the Judge, who, at first, ordered them to give bond in $500 each, to keep the peace, but onreflection, concluded to take their word of honor to do no further violence to the prisoner, and they were thusset at liberty. The sympathy of the entire community is with these young men and we heard numbers regret that

19

young Carson did not succeed in avenging the death of his aged father."

From 'The Interior Journal' of Stanford, KY, October 20, 1876: "John Smith, charged with murdering Judge Carson, at Crab Orchard was brought up from Louisville lastWednesday, and his case will, in all probability, be called this morning, and tried during the term. The casecreates much excitement."

From 'The Interior Journal' of Stanford, KY, October 27, 1876: "CIRCUIT COURT - TRIAL OF JOHN SMITH" "Promptly at nine o'clock, last Saturday morning, the Court called the case of the Commonwealth againstJohn Smith, charged with the murder of John E. Carson, at Crab Orchard last April. The court room was filledwith people from all parts of the county, who were anxious to hear the trial. It was with great difficulty that a jurywas obtained, as nearly everybody had come to an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused fromreading the papers or from rumors. It took nearly an entire day to get a jury, but finally the following jurymenwere sworn: A.K. Denny, J.M. Elder, Jno. W. Logan, J.B. McKinney, G.N. Bradley, John Jones, A.M. Jones,John Dinwiddie, Jno. Menifee, George Bright, George Tribble and T.M. White. After they were sworn, theattorneys for the defense put in the plea of not guilty on account of the insanity of the accused, to which plea ofinsanity the attorney for the Commonwealth replied in effect that it was simulated, not a real insanity, and thatthe case of the murder was jealousy. In other words, that there was a 'woman at the bottom' of the entire actsof the defendant Smith. A great many witnesses were examined, especially for the defense, the latter to provethe monomania of Mr. Smith. The witnesses for the prosecution, in giving their evidence in chief, necessarilyconfined themselves to the act and circumstances of the killing, which occurred on a Sunday morning in Aprillast, in front of the Baptist church door, at Crab Orchard. Judge Carson, the man killed, was shot by Smith witha revolver, five times, either of which is thought would have produced death. Such was the advanced age (72years) of the deceased. Divine services were just about to begin. A Mr. Foley was with Mr. Carson, who askedSmith not to shoot, and held him for a moment, but Smith was bent on killing Judge Carson. After shooting allthe loads out of his revolver, but one, (which failed to fire), Smith walked deliberately across the street wherehis carpenter shop was situated, but was halted and arrested and taken to Stanford to jail. There was someproof that Carson, who was town Assessor of Crab Orchard, went to Smith's shop to get a list of his taxableproperty, some months before the killing, and that Smith greatly abused him. There was also some proof that acertain woman who lived near Crab Orchard, was visited now and then by both Smith and Carson, privately.Some proof was also given that Smith sometimes drank liquor, but not to excess. His character was proven byall the witnesses to have been that of a quiet, peaceable, unoffensive man, one who rarely ever said a word toanyone even on business. That he had a great impediment in his speech, and did not like to talk. At the close ofthe statements as to the killing, etc, the Commonwealth rested her case in chief. The defense then introducedtheir witnesses to prove the plea of insanity. The sister of Smith, with whom he lived, the niece of Smith and thebrother, swore that Smith acted strangely for several months before the killing. That his health was bad, had butlittle appetite, was restless and lost much sleep. That he imagined there were several men after him to kill him.That there was a combination of men to ruin his character and break him up in business. That on one occasionhe told his sister, a maiden lady of fifty years of age, one night at home, that there were three men around thehouse who had come to harm him. Smith would not be satisfied until his sister or some one else, went for thetown marshal and another person, to look for the three men. The marshal and another came, examined thepremises, and told Smith no body was there, and that if he was afraid to stay there, to go and stay all night withone of them. Smith accepted the invitation, and went and staid all night with a Mr. DeBord. Other witnesses,among them Col. W.G. Welch, a Mr. Myers and others, testified to acts of monomania, or insanity. The defenseintroduced two physicians, who had heard all, or nearly all of the evidence and after defining the variousspecies of insanity, said that, if the evidence was true, as detailed by the witnesses, then in their opinion asmedical men, the man, John Smith, was of unsound mind. Other witness said that in their opinion, Smith wasinsane. The foregoing are the main details of the evidence in the defense. After this, the Commonwealthintroduced rebutting evidence to show that Smith was a sane man. These were not medical men, however, butwere the men who had known Smith for years. Many of them said they believed Smith to be of sound mind,from conversations they had with him on certain occasions. One other physician testified for the prosecution,but his evidence differed but little from that of the other two physicians who testified at the instance of thedefense. At the conclusion of the testimony for and against the prisoner, the court gave full instructions to thejury, and adjourned them at five o'clock Tuesday evening, until after supper. The sheriff kept them together untilhalf past six, p. m., when they were called together and the argument was opened for the defense by J.W.Alcorn, Esq., in a forcible speech of about one hour. He was followed by Col. G.W. Dunlap for the prosecutionin a speech of much power. He spoke over an hour and a quarter. After this, the jury were discharged untilWednesday morning, at 9 o'clock. At that hour, W.O. Hansford addressed the jury for the defense for over anhour. His speech was a feeling and good one. He was followed by Judge M.C. Saufley for the prosecution in a

20

somewhat lengthy speech, but it had a seemingly powerful effect upon the jury and the audience. Next and lastcame Col. T.P. Hill, for the defense, in one of the finest and ablest efforts he ever made in behalf of a criminalat our bar. His speech, nearly two hours long, was logical, beautiful, eloquent and convincing. The case wasclosed by Commonwealth Atoorney George Denny. Mr. Denny, as a prosecutor, has but few equals in anydistrict of the State. To say that he did justice to the Commonwealth, would be only a slight compliment. Hiseffort in the prosecution was bold and telling, and showed him to be capable of attending to the public interestin the field to which he has been chosen. A number of ladies attended the speaking, and seemed to be muchentertained. The case was given to the jury at 6 o'clock, and they retired and remained in their room for abouttwo hours, without making a verdict. The Judge then adjourned them for the night, but called them together thenext morning and they remained out until nearly noon. Being wholly unable to agree, they came in and soannounced to the court, and they were therefore discharged. How they stood in the matter, no one yet knows,as they made a solemn vow among themselves not to let the public know. Smith, of course, was remanded tojail, where he will remain until the next term of this court in April, and all the long and tedious trial will have to begone through with again. Four days and a part of two nights were spent in the investigatin of the Smith case,which is quite one-third of the entire term."

From 'The Interior Journal' of Stanford, KY April 27, 1877: "CIRCUIT COURT NOTES" "The greater portion of the time of the Court since our last report has been taken up in the trial of JohnSmith, who our readers will remember, shot and killed Judge J.E. Carson, at Crab Orchard on the 23rd day ofApril, 1876. This is the second trial of the case, and as it has created great excitement throughout the county, itwas impossible to obtain but four jurors out of the regular panel, to-wit: Thomas Robinson, Liberty Green, PerryLand and P.L. Simpson, and the Court being satisfied that a full jury could not be obtained in the county,appointed Mr. T.T. Daviess a special Sheriff to go to Boyle county and summons sixty men. On Friday morningabout forty men, in obedience to his summons appeared in Court, from which the additional following jurorswere obtained: Jeff. Hudson, Wm. Calvert, Peter Bonia, Anthony May, Wm. Dibon, J.N. Prewitt, SamuelMcDowell and Nick McDowell, and the panel having been completed the jury was sworn in. The taking of thetestimony was commenced at noon Friday, and after the examination of some thirty or forty witnesses wasconcluded on Tuesday morning, when the charges to the jury having been agreed upon, the argument of thecase was begun. The plea of the defendant was that he was at the time of the killing, and is now, insane. Hewas very ably defended, the speeches of some of his counsel being especially comprehensive and eloquent.Commonwealth Attorney George Denny, Jr., closed the argument on Wednesday about 10 o'clock, with one ofhis best and most forcible speeches, and the case was then given to the jury, who, after a short retirementreturned the following verdict: "We, the jury, find the defendant, John Smith, guilty of murder and fix as hispunishment, confinement in the Penitentiary during his natural life." The verdict appears to give almost unusualsatisfaction as it will be easy enough to change Mr. Smith's residence from the Penitentiary to the Asylum if theofficers at the former institution discover the much longed for insanity. Since the first trial of the case in Octoberlast, Smith has been confined for safe keeping in the jail at Louisville, and we are informed by the Clerk of theCourt that his case has already cost the Commonwealth over $2,000. It is to be hoped that it is at last ended."
