Smith is negro and is we'll educat-
ed. His victim was Nellie Candada
Of Buxton. They had been lovers in
Virginia, but there they quarreled and
parted, she coming North. Time
cooled her anger and she wrote for
him to come to her. He hesitated and
considered. In the meantime, she fell
in love with another. When Smith ar
rived in Buxton, he urged her to desert
her new lover and return to him. She
refused and drove him from her place.
He retired to an adjoining mining
town where he worked for some time
In the mines. One night he went to
Buxton and early the next morning
raped at the door of Miss Candada.
When she threw open the door, he,
without word, emptied his revolver
into her body. He made an effort to
escape, but was captured, tried and
convicted and sentence of death was
passed.
