The Columbus Ledger Jan 3, 1960: 
A Randolph County man was shot to death and a Cleburne County man is being held 
in the Randolph County jail on a charge of suspicion of murder in connection 
with the slaying. Sheriff Ralph Gunn reported Saturday James Key 23 Route 3 
Heflin Ala is being held in jail in connection with the shooting of James Key 20 
of north Randolph County following an argument at the Riverside Inn about four 
miles south of here the sheriff said The Keys are not related.

Roanoke Leader Mar 24, 1960:
About noon last Thursday in Randolph Circuit Court, the jury returned a verdict 
of second-degree murder against Jack Key, and he was sentenced to 17 years in 
the penitentiary. He had been charged with the first-degree murder of another 
young man, James Clion Key (no relation) as the result of a shooting at 
Riverside Inn north of Wedowee on Highway 431. The case went to the jury 
Wednesday afternoon.
