Burwell and Charles Bays went to the home of Isaac Radford, a butcher at Deep-water. The three men wore masks and were bent on robbing Radford. Adkins shot the butcher with a 32 caliber, Smith and Wesson pistol, killing him. After killing Radford the three assailants fled but were captured after some days. When Burwell was brought to trial Milton C. Bibb of Oak Hill was foreman of the jury which tried him. Life in the penitentiary was accorded Burwell. At the time, C. W. Dillon was the Prosecuting Attorney. Charles Bays, an illiterate man, likewise was given life at Moundsville. Wash Adkins was found guilty and sentenced to death.....Adkins was hanged on Friday, July 20, 1894 at Fayetteville before a crowd estimated at three thousand persons.
