Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 24—“Roy Davis” under arrest here, was identified today by J.L. Nichols, sheriff of Marion, North Carolina, as Grayson Owensby, wanted at Marion in connection with the slaying of Carl Haney, who was shot to death at Marion November 11, last.
“Davis” was arrested at a hospital where he was under treatment. He denied that he was Owensby and prior to the arrival of the Maron Sheriff, expressed a willingness to return voluntarily to Marion.
Haney was shot to death after a quarrel which originated in a moving picture theater.
From page 7 of the Raleigh News & Observer, Sunday, Feb. 25, 1923
