Beckley Man Held In Death
BECKLEY - State Police here said they had been informed that Charles Kaiser of Beckley was arrested by authorities in Wayne, Mich., early today.
Kaiser was arested on a warrant issued West Virginia authorities charging him with murder in the death of a 27-year-old Mabscott soldier killed while he was at home on leave.
State Police Sgt. W. E. Webb of Beckley said that during a fight between Kaiser and Pfc. Dewey Rollyson at Mabscott on Monday, Rollyson received a blow on the head from a pop bottle which caused his death two days later.
