Local court records show Smith was charged with, and convicted of, disorderly conduct for so-called money-digging activities: using supposedly supernatural stones to dig for treasure. Some argue associated court documents were forged or alterered to cast Smith in a unfair light; others have argued that such "treasure digging" was a common form of folk magic and that Smith was not unique in its practice.
This happened in the same town that he was chased out of for destroying the press you mentioned. When he came back, the same people, already torked at him, shot him as he jumped from a second story jail cell window. At that point, there was question as to whether he was dead. They put him up in front of a tree, and shot him a few more times to make sure.
He destroyed the press because it didn't say good things about him. He just chose the wrong town to do that.

Thanks for the refresher.
And much like modern day horror movies, you can never be too sure the bad guy is dead.

Your synopsis of the events is so anti-historical and non-factual that I actually laughed. Where do you get this stuff? Do you just make it up?
