A Professional Man Killer Convicted
After Many Murders.

After Many Murders.
New York, March H.-A special to the
Sun from Louisville, KY, says: Thomas
Smith, one of the most notorious des-
peradoes of the Eastern Kentucky noun
tains, was found guilty of murder at
jackson, Breathitt county, yesterday, and
condemned to be hanged. The crime for
which he was on trial was the murder of
J. E. RAIDER, but this was only one of his
many killings. He was professional
murderer, and was at the hire of every
outlaw who wanted a man more un-
scrupulous than himself to work for him.
For years he was in the employ of J. C.
Eyerson, whose feud with b. f. French
cost over thirty lives. Smith has been
credited by some with killing twenty
men, but he acknowledges only eight. He
had been indicted for seven murders. His
last crime was committed early in Janu-
ary"
