KILLING REMAINS A MYSTERY
Slayer of Roy Banister is Still
Unknown.
Justice Ivy and is Held With
out Bond

Argenta, March 2e.-Special.-
Waving examination before JUS
tice of the Peace Ivy this afternoon,
Offie Douglass, who is being held
in connection with the killing of
Roy Banister early Saturday morn
ing, was committed without bail to
await the action of the grand jury.
No testimony was taken before
Justice Ivy, Douglass simply ap-
pealing and formally waving a
preliminary trial The grand jury
is now in session, but it is not
known when it will be ready to in
vestigate the Banister killing.
1t is generally believed here,
however, that Douglass is not the
guilty party.
Murder Remains Mystery.
While fourteen witnesses were
examined at the inquest held by
Coroner E. E. Hodges in Argenta
yesterday, the killing of Roy Ban
lister is shrouded in as great a
IN ystery as it was when the body
was first discovered. The witness
es examined were mainly habitues
of the resort district in which the
tragedy occurred, but none of them
would admit any knowledge of the
shooting.
No witness could be found to
testify to seeing Banister and
Douglass together after IFS a. m. ,
or about an hour before the killing
Ofie Douglass of Conway, who
was arrested in connection with
the killing, refused to testify at
the coroner's inquest yesterday, on
the advice of his attorney, R. G..
Bruce, and his father, T. R. Doug
lass. The latter explained his son S
refusal to testify by saying that if
he did so certain Argenta persons,
now under suspicion of killing
Banister might, to save the mselves
frame up story that would i'm
plicate him.
Deputy Constable Caldwell OF
Argenta came up to Conway to
take charge of Offie Douglass and
returned with him to Little Rock.
A report was in circulation here
yesterday that another Conway
man, brakeman on the Fort Smith
railway, was under arrest as being
implicated in the killing, but this
proved to be mistake.
The funeral of Roy Banistel
was held in this city yesterday
afternoon and was attended by q
large crowd. Rev. J. B. Steven
son, pastor of the Methodist church
conducted the services. The body
was buried at Oak Grove cemetery.

Ofie Douglass, son OF t. r.
Douglass of this city, who accom-
panied Banister to Argenta, is un-
der arrest here on a charge of be-
ing implicated in the crime.
Douglass, however, denies any
knowledge of the killing, and
states that he left Banister shortly
after midnight and was not present
when the tragedy occurred. He
admits that both he and Banister
were drinking.
The two men left Conway on the
local freight yesterday afternoon
and Douglass returned on another
freight early this morning. AT
about II O'Clock this morning,
Sheriff Roberts of Little Rock tel
ephoned to Sheriff Brady OF this
city to place Douglass under ar
rest and he was taken in custody a
few minutes later by Marshal J.
r. Charles. The Little Rock
authorities stated that they would
arrive this afternoon and take
young Douglass back to Little
Rock.
Roy Baniste- was a native OF
Conway, and has spent most OF his
life here. He was about IS years
OF age, and was a carpenter by pro-
fession. Both his parents live
here, and he is also survived by
three brothers and one sister.
His oldest brother, W. L. Ban1s-
ter, left this morning for Little
Rock this morning to investigate
the case, and is expected to return
with the body tonight.
