Glasgow (KY) Weekly Times, 22 Apr 1896.
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 morning his body was 
found close to the railroad track, with a bullet hole through it and a bruised 
place in the back of his head. 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.
