"Charley Keeton, a young man who lived in Page's Heights, this
place, was killed in a mysterious manner near Rowletts Monday night. It
appears that Keeton, who was a witness in the notorious Bevil murder
trial at Munfordville, started home with a lot of boon companions, upon
the case being continued. At Rowletts they got off, announcing their
intention of walking over to Glasgow through the country. That was the
last seen of Keeton alive. Yesterday mroning his body was found close to
the railroad track, with a bullet hole through it and a bruised place in
the back of hishead. Two or three of the crowd with him were arrested
and taken back to Munfordville to tell what they know of the murder. The
general idea appears to be that Keeton was shot and killed and then
placed on the railroad track to create the impression that he had been
killed by the railroad men."
"Worth Wilson and Geo. Jackson were the two men arrested as
suspected with knowing something of the murder."
