From the Boston Herald - 9 Mar 1858
A Terrible Affair in Christian County, Ky. - The Evansville Journal relates the particulars of a murder perpetrated a few weeks since in Christian County, Ky. They are as follows:
A man named Casey has been arrested for the murder of a neighbor named Henderson. It appears that Casey had married a woman with whom, it is said, Henderson had been previously intimate. This intimacy was kept up after the marriage. He had forbidden Henderson coming to his house, and when his visits were repeated threatened to shoot him if he caught him on his premises again. Two weeks ago Henderson left home, and not returning according to appointment, a search was instituted through the country, in which Casey joined for several days. After the search was over, Casey fled. After his departure Casey's wife disclosed the murder. Casey had shot Henderson, took the body and buried it in the stable, covered it with manure and put a horse in the stall, whose use of it obliterated all traces. The wife, however, disclosed the fact of the murder, and pointed out the place where the body had been buried. It was found with a bullet-hole through the skull.
