Describe Ownby's encounter with a welfare department agent in the jail.

An agent from the welfare department arrives at the jail to talk to Ownby, ostensibly to prove some assistance to him. He asks him a few basic questions like his age or address, but Ownby, either out of genuine ignorance or just obstinacy, gives only vague answers, if he provides an answer at all. Frequently, he just turns the questions back on the agent, as if they were just casually trying to get to know one another. The agent realizes that Ownby is not receptive to his services just yet and decides to leave. On the way out, he learns that Ownby is in jail for, among other charges, shooting four officers.
