rest Interrupted him by saying. that
his mind was made UP and he did not
care to discuss the matter. Gould said
that 1t might be construed as an Inn
putation Of cowardice, and mo man
can accuse me of cowardice and both
of us live" Forrest said that Gould
made a motion to draw a pistol from
his pocket, but 1t hung there and
Gould fred before 1t was out OF his
pocket: that he grabbed Gould's hand
TO prevent another shot, opened the
knife with his teeth and stabbed
Gould as the latter slipped by. Forrest
also said that he had borrowed a pis-
toll after getting out Of the Masonic
building and had started up the street.
when. understanding that DR.. Ridley
reported that the lieutenant was NOR
tally wounded. he had gone to Dr. Sam
Frierson's Office to have his own wound
dressed. DR.. Frierson had barely seen
tho wound. and being asked as to
Its nature had said II could not be
ascertained except by probing. Being
pcrsistently questioned, he said that
from its location. II the ball had gone
inside Gas It appeared TO have done),
and perforated the intestines. 1t would
be apt to prove fatal in that warm
weather. Just at that moment Major
Severson had come In and said:
General, that -- scoundrel is not
much hurt. saw him walking around
In the back OF that tailor's shop"
Forrest said that he grabbed two
pistols from. an officer, and without
waiting to rearrangc all of his cloth
Ing he rushed out, saying he would
kill him before he died. In further talk
Ing. Forrest said that II Gould had
shown as much bravery on the battle
field as he had shown that afternoon
this affair would not have happened.
Forrest showed the knife. 1t was quite
small. with along. narrow blade, very
keen. 1t had been captured at Franklin
on June 4 In the suffers supplies. DIR.
Wilkes washed the blood from 1t and
returned 1t to the general.
Drs.. Frierson and Wilkes visitad
Forrest every day until he left a few
days later. He always made Inquiries
about Gould.
Nursing Forrcst.
Mrs. Minnie Galloway fowler tells
me of an incident that happened the
next day after the shooting. Her
mother had prepared broth for the
general, and with her childish desire
TO do something, she had carried it
to him herself. As she approached the
bed she stumbled and spilled the bowl
Of hot broth on him. he jumped up
with an exclamation, but seeing her
tears he quickly subsidized and apollo
gized. Forrest and other Confederate
officers were always welcome guests at
Major Galloway's home, where more
than one council of war was held by
the generals The east room upstairs
was known as General Forests.
Nursing Gould.
The lieutenant was carried TO the
second story OF the Nelson House (then
the leading hotel OF NIaury county,
and given the best room. 1t was on
the west front. opening on a narrow
vcranda, and is now.thc law office of
r.. S. Hopkins. MIR. Sam b. Lee, of
Duplex, Tenn, writes that he obtained
permission to walt on his kinsman
and that he remained with Gould from
about 1 o'clock on the afternoon of
the difficulty until his death. Dir. Lee
says that a guard was placed at the
door with orders to admit no ono en-
cept the surgeon and the nurse; and
that when he C,ee) was unavoidably
absent the guard sometimes waited on
Gould. The wound had been dressed
when Lee arrived. Three days before
Gould's death his half brother, Foster
Gould. came to Columbia and called in
another surgeon, DR.. j. NJ fowler. who
snid that the wound. having healed
from the outside, that death was in
evitable. Gould told Sam Lee that as
Forrest stabbed him he then fred that
he did not shoot again. as he had no
desire to kill Forrest but merely to
protect himself.
-stt, M III Recommendations.
1T has long been the impression In
Columhin that Forrest and Gould be-
came reconciled. though MIR. Sam Lee
says that ne cannot recall that Forrest
ever came to Gould's room. Many
years ago In reading this sketch to tile
only other eyewitness then living, MIR.
Eugene Pillow, he recalled an inter
view between his father and General
Forrest a few days after tho difficulty.
pr. Pillow had called on Forrest So
cially, and the general said that he
had been misnformod as TO the facts
and mistaken in hts estimate OF Gould ::
that he was convinced TINT he was 4
brave, game man, and he intended
going TO see him and tell him SO. Or.
Wilkes tells me that Forrest made the
same statement to him and Dr.. Frinr-
son.
