Biography
American homicide; teamed with Richard Hickock to kill the Clutter family on 11/15/1959, Holcomb, KS. He admitted that they were looking for money in the house and that he was the one who did the killing. Sentenced to death for his crimes, he was hanged on 4/14/1965, Kansas City, KS., age 36. The crime was publicized in the book by Truman Capote, "In Cold Blood," later made into a movie.
A white male, Smith had powerful shoulders and the thick, crouching torso of a weight-lifter. Small in stature, he was no bigger than a 12-year-old, with tiny feet and wearing elaborate tattoos. His voice was gentle and articulate and his expression was changeable on a flexible face. He spent a lot of time looking in the mirror. As a kid, he spent seven years in a Catholic orphanage. His dad was an Irish cowboy who worked for a while as an agricultural agent and his mom was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. He had her dark coloring, expressive eyes and dark hair. His mom later died, choking on her own vomit while drunk. His sister Ferm was a suicide, jumping to her death in San Francisco and his brother, Jimmy, drove his wife to suicide and the next day, killed himself.
In August 1952, Smith was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him in the hospital for six months with crippled legs, after hitting a truck. In continual pain, he was an aspirin junkie.
