The Hannibal Journal November 23, 1848
Murder at Keokuk. -- The officers of the Keokuk packet, down yesterday, report 
that, on the evening of the 11th inst., Mr. T. B. Latham, formerly of Galena, 
Ill., was murdered in a drinking house in Keokuk, by a man named McKingsley, 
the keeper of the house.  The difficulty occurred near the bar, and originated 
from a misunderstanding about a game of cards which they had been engaged 
playing -- McKingsley drew a knife and stabbed Latham three times in the 
breast, causing his death almost instantly.  Soon after the perpetration of 
the murder, McKinsley procured a horse and made his escape. -- Mo. Repub.
