Bhe says that she Is but 17 years old. and ame to Havnnnah Haturday afternoon to I teceive medical treatment from a physl i clan with w hom h* had previously some correspondence. She was accom panied by a colored woman.

According to the story of the Reed so • man. It was her Intention to carry out 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.

A negro named Joseph Brooks received last night about dusk an ugly wound on Ihe skull at the hands of Anthony Jbee. who lay In wall for him In Gordon alrtgt ane nnd struck him with a brick. The quarrel that resulted tn the row occurred, Brooks said, as the result of his wife's refusal, at his request, to de liver clothe* that she had washed for Jose to him without the cash being paid on delivery. Jose thought he ought to re 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 street. Brooks went to Dr. Herlot at Liberty and Tattnall streets, ami had hts wound dressed. While not a dangerous one. the doctor thinks that with a little more force to Ihe Now. It would have caused death, ns the scalp was cut to the bone nnd It took three ailtches to close the wound.

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.
