• Notes

  Went on trial for killing Ike Martin in November 1884. This is the case from the newspaper in July 185. Not Guilty was the v erdict in the case of State vs. John Keithley. The case of the State vs John Keithley for the killing of Ike Martin was taken up the first thing on Friday morning as stated by the Topic last week. The first witness called was Ann Martin, wife of Ike Martin, Alias Gison, the deceased. She testified as follows: I live in boonville; I have lived here nearly six years. Isaac martin was my husbands name; he is dead; died within three weeks of Christmas. John Keithly shot him in the night. The shooting took place at Frank Lionbergers; we never saw him until he got on bricks at D. D. Mills. He had been at Brokmyers. I then went there and we went by Gross' and got yeast cakes, and kept on; at Edwards on 6th street we met a little boy. As soon as we got on pavement, Keithley stepped on pavement behind us, and I thought it was a woman. I then looked back and he was on his tipping toes. We kept on until got on to near between F. and W. L. Lionburger's house and he grabbed him, and defendant told Ike "he was his man"j. She asked "what he had done". Keithley then commenced whaling him over the head Keithley knocked him with the club.
