Native Virginian December 11, 1868
The Gordonsville Murder. -A negro named Nelson Gilmer was arrested in Staunton on 
Monday last, charged with killing William E. Burton, a brakesman on the Chesapeake 
and Ohio Railroad, the finding of whose dead body, under horrible circumstances, 
was noticed in the Native Virginian about two weeks ago. The arrest was made by 
Detective Knox, of Richmond, who has been on the murderer's tract for several 
days. A suit of Burton's clothes was found on the accused when he was arrested. 
The prisoner denies any knowledge of the murder, but gives contradictory 
statements about the matter.
