Strange Parricide --A Son Kills his Father to Avenge His Mother's Wrongs. --The Louisville Democrat, of the 21st, says: A man named Peter Smith was shot yesterday morning, on the Jeffersonville ferry boat, by his illegitimate son, Francis Marlon Smith. The young man states that the former had seduced his mother forty years ago, and brought her to a career of prostitution. He states that his mother, on her death bed about a year ago, told him of these facts, and told him to avenge her.
