The arrest was made yesterday morn

officers I'mbech and t’ronlfi To th**
1 former Rouse acknowledged that he had
made an attempt on the girl, but said
that he had not succeeded; but Ml**
i l-ewl* tell* a more serious story. Bhe
says that she Is but 17 years old. and
ame to Havnnnah Haturday afternoon to

who came along as a sort of nurse, or

been Intrusted by her mother, with in
| *tructions to take her to a boarding house
on her arrival, and sec that sh** was well
taken care of tintll placed under the doc

According to the story of the Reed so

these Instructions, but when she arrived
>t tbe # d*j*t and asked the girl to go to
a while tioardlng house, she objected, and
Maid that she did not tlant lo leave her
and preferred going wlt>r her. The Reed
woman explained, she a..**, that sh* was
going to ihe home of a friend, Willie
Butler, at Montgomery and Gaston
-tre**H. and that there were only colored
people th*re, but If she Insisted she *ou!d
go with her. Miss Rewts. she claims, pre
ferred Itelng with her. anyway, hih! so
they went to the Butler woman’s house.
There they stayed until about 9 o’clock
Saturday night, when Rous**, who wu
acquainted with Utoh women in Bylvanla.
came In a hack and took Miss Lewis os
tensibly for a ride. A friend cam**
with him in another hack, and being
Introduced to ftarah Reed by B>use. took
her in his hack, driving in an opposite di
rection from that taken by Jtouse, who
went direct to Willie Jackson's. The
Reed woman sa>w that after going *ocn>
• hstunce she began to have doubts *ha*
the propGety of the girl being out with
Rouse, and getting out of her hack, she
►ought Rouse nisi the girl at alt of the
resorts of the doubtful class In the neigh
borhood of the cemetery, with which she
seems to he acquainted through her many
visit* to the city. Not finding them she
returned to the Butler woman's hou*>
and went to led.
The story of the sequence of event*
after she left Butler's house |* best told
by the victim herself. The hack, she
said, went straight to the Jackson wo
man's house. Bhe was told to go In. and.
not being familiar with the character of
the neighborhood, and having no reason
to suspect Rouse, did as she was told un
qtiestloningly. Once in the house, ac
cording 10 the story told to Bupt. Bcreven.
she win overi#>wr*fed by Rouse, although
she resisted him to the extent of her abil
ity Afterwards he put her back In the
back, which waited for hltt> outside of
the door, and refused to have anything
further to do with her. n.though she beg
ged both him and the driver to take her
back to the Butler woman's house
The wrong that hud been done the girl
was discovered accidently by Patrnlm.in
Fmhach. With Patrolman Cronin he had
been In Ihe vicinity of the cemetery to
make an arrest He was In the neighbor
hood when called by Ihe hackman. who
wanted him to Induce Bouse, who was
then Inside the Jackson house, lo pay his
hack fare, whlrh amounted to |i. The
harkßv-in also told the officer that he
thought there must be something wrong
In the relations of the man and the woman
that he had brought there, and shn was
then silling In the hack moaning In ap
parent misery. Rouse was called from
lha house to pay the hackman. which he
readily consented to do.
A colored Inmate of Ihe house who ac
companied Rouse to Ihe sidewalk also
told the officer that she thought there
was something suspicious In the way
Rouw had treated the woman he brought
with him I mbaeh determined to inves
tigate the case, and eo when Rouse, about
to re-enter the house. Invited him tn he
went with him. He notice*! that the girl
was still left In ihe hack, and spoke to
Rouse about the matter. With an oath
the man replied "that she could go to ——.
he had had all that he wanted of her and
was disgusted." The nflU-er then • told
Rouse that he understood that the girl
tiad been brought to the house for Im
moral purposes, and asked some very
pointed questions regarding his relations
with her. The man. without any hesi
tancy, told the story of the assault, go
ing Into minute details.
The officer questioned the girl, who told
a very Incoherent story, but which agreed
with the man's, even to the statement
with which he closed his story. With the
assistance of Patrolman Crotdn. House.
Ihe girl and the Rt-ed woman, who was
found at Butler’s house, were arrested
and taken lo the barrack*. There the
girl repealed her story to Superintendent
of Police Bcreven, hut made the last part
of It exactly opposite of that she tteld
the pollr* man. Her father was notified
of the affair, and Is expected to arrive
In Savannah some lime to-day.
Rouse |s said to be a prosperous naval
stores operator, owning property In the
vlnldty of Hylvanta. He had quite an
amount of money with him when arrest
ed. which would seemingly bear out this
supposition He treated Ihe mutler light
ly. and seemed lo hsve no fear of the out
come. though he had h* en drinking His
ease will l*e called probably to-morrow.
It was reported to the arresting officer
yesterday Ihnl the Keetl woman knew of
House's Intentions toward Ihe girl, and
was a pariy to the scheme, that the plans
Iwiil Is-en made in Hylvanla previous to
ihe departure of Rouse, who came to
Savannah Friday. According to the a.tmc
story Saturday afternoon, after the girl
had been taken to the Butler "Woman's
house, the Heed woman went lo the hotel
where House was slaying, and told him
where she and Ihe girl could be found
The gtrl Is In very delicate health, and
came lo Snvannah on that account. Those
who have seen her say that she Is ap
parently almost a physical wreck, and
seems to be a HI Inmate for a hospital.

In the mutter Thl* data has since been

The suggestion made In yesterday’s

The quarrel that resulted tn the row
occurred, Brooks said, as the result of

ceive more consideration al the hands of
the Brooks family, amt the discussion of
the matter led to the quarrel and assault.
Jose, as soon as he struck the blow, made
hla escape by running down Tattnall

Aftrr a wrrk'a Inrffrelual urarchtnif,

Bowden, Ihr Columbua man. who
prarrd from Ihr brach at Tybrr Sunday
ntahl a wrek a*o. wan dtacovrrrd yra
irrday mornlna. floatln* up ihr river with
th 8,.l tide.
The dlaeovery of Ihe body was made hy
two itov. rnment engineer*, who were
standing on the wharf of thr government
reeervalion, at For* Srrrvrn. Thla was
at 11 o'clock In thr morning. They
watched the body as It drifted up the
river with thr tide, hut thry had no
boat In which they could follow It. and.
In consequence, were helpless and una
ble to rescue It from the waters. The
tide carried It rapidly up stream and fin
ally It disappeared from their view be
yond a bend In Ihe river.
The body that *< seen was In under
clothes. a fact that come*ponds with the
details of the story of Bowden's disap
pearance. He took off his outer garments
on the beach. It was said at the time,
and started out Into the surf. Only a few
minutes elapsed from the time of hlb en
trance Into Ihe surf before his final dis
appearance.
In other maltersof description Ihe body
scan by Ihe engineers al Fort Screven
corresponds with Bowden, though, of
course. It Is Impossible to be certain that
the man has really been,found or seen
The engineers had hut poor opportunity
for comparing the floating body with the
description that has been given of the
men *up|>o*ed to have been drowned at
Tybee, and they cannot, therefore. Is
sure.
The prolrahintles .lYe about evenly divide I
tor and aaalnst the theory that the body
111 the river aas that of Bowden In the
tlrst place, no other drowning has recent
ly taken place, which has besn reported
to the authorities, and. so far as Is known,
no body Is even mi plowed to he drifting
In the waters of Chatham county other
than that of the man from Columlsis
Then. 100. the underclothes that were seen
on the tardy on the river are evidence
.hat It Is that of Bowden. On the other
hand, It seems scarcely probable that a
Itody could have floated tn the water for
a week without losing resemblance, not
only to ihe man himself, but also to .my
human shape.
The discovery of the body floating in
the liver was reported to Coroner (loette.
and at his Instigation a small tug boat
and 11 number of men were kept busy
during the afternoon in an effort to recov
er tha body from the waters, and bring •!
to the city for purposes of identification.
So far as known thes- efforts have not
been atterwleil with tiny success. At least
no report of a find ha* bceti made to tne
coroner.
The relatives of Bowden have offered n
reward of U, the payment of which Is
guaranteed by a Columbus bank, for th.
recovery of his body. The possibility of
earning this reward wllf doubtless be suf-
Itolent Incentive to keep searching parties
at work for several days to come Even
If the body |n the river Is recovered
Identification will probably prove to he t
dim.-ult matter, for reasons that have
been suggested above.
