Pardoned Desperado Shot Wilson County Desperado
Charles Homan, who killed S. Smith after Smith terrorized Wilson County for years, received an unconditional pardon from Governor Stanley. Homan had previously been imprisoned for manslaughter in the fourth degree. Smith, armed and threatening, confronted Homan at his Benedict barber shop. Homan returned with a revolver and killed Smith. The pardon followed a petition signed by over 1,000 Wilson County citizens and support from the jury and county attorney. Smith’s family faces hardship as he was to support his wife and two babies.
