The horsewhipping of j. +. T. Bowden by
Reuben Brunson at jacksonville Friday, an
account OF which was wired the MORNING
NEWS, caused big sensation. Mr.. Bowden,
in an interview with Times Union reporter
Friday night, said that he did not insult Mrs.
Brunson. and that he was dumfounded with
surprise when the attack was made upon him.
Il have met Mrs BrunsOn three times only,
and those interviews altogether will not ag-
gregate over thirty minutes. The first time |
met her was some months ago, or before l
went TO New Nork She, with another lady
and gentleman came 10 my house to rent a
double tenement When came back from
the north saw sign on the house for rent.
l found oct that the other tenant OF the
house had vacated and that my agent
had left the Brunsons there tenants on
sunerance. A few days ago l went TO the
house with prospective tenant AS l was
about TO leave Mrs, BTunson called me back
and asked me where the little house was that
l had spoken to her OF. 1 told her, and she
said that she would like to see it. We went
together 10 it. 1t was locked, and climbed
through the window and opened the front
door for her to come through She looked
the house over and seemed 10 like IT, While
she was looking at one of the rooms I was
standing in the door with my back against the
door-lamb. When she came to pass put my
hand on her elbow to assist her in passing
aud reached back with the other hand TO close
the door My intent on guiding her out of the
door was a matter of courtesy. l did only
what any other gentleman would do She
drew back and asked me what l meant
l told her that l did not mean any
thing; that L was sincerely sorry If |
she took offense, and begged her pardon. |
walked home with her chatting of various
subjects, the incident which she took offense
at having been entirely forgotten, as 1 sup
posed. l opened the gate for her, and re-
marked again, as l did so, that 1 was sorry
that she had taken any ofense, and once
more / declared that intended none went
on and attended to my business, forgetting
the whole matter until yesterday, when
Brunson made the attack upon me-" The
friends of Mr.. Brunson all say that he is a
man who would not have taken such extreme
measures without good cause. He has the
reputation Of being quiet, peaceable and
gentlemanly fellow. They say too, that it
was not so much the mere fact of Bowden
putting his hand on Mrs Brunson. but the in
Sinuating manner IN which 1t was done.
