Perry Edward Smith
Perry Edward Smith (October 27, 1928 – April 14, 1965) was one of two ex-convicts convicted of murdering four members of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas, United States on November 15, 1959, a crime made famous by Truman Capote in his 1966 non-fiction novel ''In Cold Blood''.〔(Anatomy of a Murder, Time Magazine, December 22, 1967 )〕〔Capote, Truman. ''In Cold Blood''. New York: Random House, 1965.〕 Along with Richard Hickock, Smith took part in the home invasion of the Clutter family farmhouse.
==Family and early life==
Perry Edward Smith was born in Huntington, Nevada, a now-abandoned community in Elko County.〔Rocha, Guy. (''In Cold Blood: The Nevada Connection'' ). Nevada State Archives and Library. September 2007.〕 His parents, Florence Julia "Flo" Buckskin and John "Tex" Smith, were rodeo performers.〔 Smith was of mixed Irish and Cherokee ancestry (from his father's and mother's side, respectively).〔〔http://www.rgj.com/story/life/2014/03/04/guy-rocha-in-cold-blood-and-its-connection-to-nevada/5991747/〕 The family moved to Juneau, Alaska in 1929, where the elder Smith distilled bootleg whisky for a living. Smith's father abused his wife and four children, and in 1935 his wife left him, taking the children with her to San Francisco.〔 Smith and his siblings were raised initially with their alcoholic mother. After Smith's mother died when he was thirteen, he and his siblings were placed in a Catholic orphanage, where nuns allegedly〔Capote, In Cold Blood.〕 abused him physically and emotionally for his lifelong problem of chronic bed wetting, a result of malnutrition. He was also placed in a Salvation Army orphanage, where one of the caretakers allegedly〔 tried to drown him. In his adolescence, Smith reunited with his father and together they lived an itinerant existence across much of the western United States. He also spent time in different juvenile detention homes after joining a street gang and becoming involved in petty crime. Perry's father, Tex, moved to Cold Springs, Nevada circa 1964-1967, where he lived to the age of 92 before committing suicide, distraught over poor health.〔()〕
Two of Smith's siblings also committed suicide as young adults, and the remaining sister eliminated any contact with him.〔(''In Cold Blood: A Legacy'' ). Lawrence Journal World. (Defunct site prior to 9/10)〕
