PROSECUTION OF AGED MAN , WHO SLEW DAUGHTER, AIDED BY TWO SONS OF THE DEFENDANT

The unusual spectacle of a father, charged with the murder of his daughter, fighting for his freedom, while his sons arrayed themselves with the prosecution in an effort to send him to the penitentiary, presented itself in the Floyd Circuit Court last Friday.

Daniel R. Johnson, 63 yr old Abner Fork Citizen, testified that he shot and killed his daughter, Mrs. Tina Smith, to save his own life. His two sons, Eli and Charles, testified against him, alleging that he shot his daughter three time as she entered his room without offering any threat to his safety.

Receiving the case at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, the jury deliberated till 11 o'clock Saturday morning and returned a verdict sentencing the aged man to five years in the pen. The defendant testified that Mrs. Smith had thrown a rock in to the room and that she was advancing upon him, brandishing a hatchet, when he fired.

His step-daughter, Mrs. Owens, appearing in his behalf, stated that both Mrs. Smith and her brother, Eli Johnson, were drunk when they came to their fathers home and that she attempted to dissuade them from going inside. While she was gone after an officer, the killing took place.

Stating that his sister was shot for no valid reason, Eli Johnson admitted that he threw a stone at his step - mother and ran. The shooting followed soon thereafter.  Mrs. Smith was killed within two days of the date she was to have been taken to the penitentiary for the killing of her husband, John Smith.

Daniel R. Johnson, 65 year old Left Beaver man, who was convicted in June, 1932 of the slaying of his daughter, Mrs. Tina Smith, at the Johnson home on Abner Fork a few months earlier, was granted executive clemency Saturday by Governor Laffoon, who commuted his sentence from five to one and one-half years, thus rendering him eligible for immediate release.

Seven of the jurors who convicted Johnson, former Circuit Judge C. B. Wheeler,  who presided at the trial, and Commonwealth's Attorney C. P. Stephens, who prosecuted Johnson, recommended commutation of the sentence, stating that the prisoner is an old man and his further confinement would serve no good purpose.

Johnson shot and killed his daughter on the night before she was to have been taken to the penitentiary to begin serving a sentence given her in court here for the slaying of her husband.
