Final Arguments Heard In Trial Of Keathley Estate
In United States District Court final arguments were heard in the wrongful death case by the Raleigh County Bank as administrator of Kerley and Delcia Keathley against the Norfolk and Western Railway. The case stems from the Nov. 18, 1961 Nolan crossing collision that killed Kerley and Delcia Keathley and injured Cecil Smith. Thornhill contended the evidence supports fault on the train crew and crossing visibility, noting the car was on the track and reversed after impact while witnesses cited conflicting signals. Mann, for the defense, argued the train was on a duty schedule and that the whistle may not have blown, asserting Kerthley violated a West Virginia statute by not stopping at the crossing.
