Newsom purchased a fourteen-year-old girl named Celia. Newsom raped her. Celia gave birth to two children between 1851 and 1855, the second being the son of Robert Newsom. In late winter, either February or early March, of 1855, Celia again became pregnant. The pregnancy affected George and caused him to insist that Celia put an end to the pattern of sexual exploitation by Newsom that continued to that time. George informed Celia that "he would have nothing more to do with her if she did not quit the old man" On June 23, 1855, Newsom told Celia "he was coming to her cabin that night." Around 10 P.M., When Newsom told Celia it was time for sex, she retreated to a corner of the cabin. He advanced toward her. Celia clubbed Newsom over the head, killing him after making sure "he was dead," Celia spent an hour or so pondering her next step. Finally, she decided to burn Newsom's body in her fireplace.

In the morning, as Newsom's family was growing concerned about Robert's disappearance. On the morning of the 24th, Virginia Newsom searched for her father along nearby creek banks and coves, fearing he might have drowned. Powell falsely claimed that George had told the search party that "she knew where her master was," hoping this approach might prompt a quick confession from Celia. Instead, Celia denied any knowledge of her master's fate. Celia confessed to the murder of Robert Newsom.

Celia's trial came at a time of heightened tensions over the issue of slavery.

on October 10, the jury quickly convicted Celia of first-degree murder and .sentenced Celia, to be "hanged by the neck until dead on the sixteenth day of November 1855."In jail awaiting her execution, Celia delivered a stillborn child. On November 11, five days before her scheduled date with the gallows, Celia and another inmate were removed from the Callaway County jail, Celia was returned to jail--by whom it is not known--in late November, only after her scheduled execution date had passed.

Fulton Telegraph, "as soon as I struck him the Devil got into me, and I struck him with a stick until he was dead, and then rolled him into the fire and burnt him up." Celia died on the gallows at 2:30 P.M. on December 21, 1855.
