From Asheville Citizen
Wallace Ray, slayer of Dr. O.V. Burnette in a pistol duel on a lonely mountain road in Madison County several weeks ago, was yesterday afternoon lodged in jail here for safekeeping.
The sheriff of Madison County held a conference with Solicitor J. Ed Swain while he was here yesterday. It is understood that there is considerable feeling over this killing in Madison County and the jail in Marshall is considered none too strong.
Ray himself, was badly wounded in the gun battle and spent some time in a hospital I Greenville, Tenn., recovering from his wounds.
