The incident was reported by the victim to her parents and upon further investigation the subject was arrested by Sergeant B. L. Keiser.

Dear Judge Haas: RE: KEYTON,John Edwin The above-named was committed to the Criminal Insane Department of our hospital by order of your Court for observation and report and admitted May 24, 1953. Since admission he has been carefully studied and as a result of our observations we beg to report that he is not now insane and that he has not been insane or psychotic since admission. This man was treated in the Veterans Administration Hospital for about seven months in 1935-1936 and again for about seven months in 1939-1940. He was considered to be suffering from a schizophrenic type of psychosis. The history from available sources indicates that he has been getting along satisfactorily for over ten years and this is verified by his guardian. The mental picture that he presented at the Veterans Administration Hospital does not seem to have represented any clear cut type. Here our diagnosis is "Per onallty Pattern Disturbance, Schizoid personality". It is felt that he is mentally competent and able to testify in his own defense. Respectfully, ~ Joseph R.

The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder.

Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents.
