Mobley. tbie state ment ha? boen prepared for publication by Mr. Evaus: . Ak to the difficulty that I bad yester day with John G. Mobley 1 wish to give * simple statement of tho affair. I left my home ou the morning of June-9, Thursday, aud walked leisurely ulong down toward my office, and on turning the corner on Sumter and Washington streets, I looked up and saw, about ten step? from mc, John Q. Mobley walking toward me, accompanied by ono of the ?narda at th rpenitentiary, whom be ntroduced as bis cousin. Mr. Mobley. John G. Mobl >y addressed me with these murd?: 'Gooa rooruiug; tbie ls my cousin, Mr. Mobley.' I told bim that I knew Mr. Mobley. He then auld : 'Where am those papers?' 1 asked him what napers he referred to. Hie roply was, .What have you said about mer' My answer wae, 'Nothing, except aa to the requisition papers in the Governor's <.Mice for forgery.' "Ile theu repeated, 'Where are those papers?' I said: 'Probably if you will look at the proper place you will And them.' "With that ho raised something be had concealed behind bim wrapped in paper _ and struck nie aoross the head. I warded ' j the blow off with my left hand, oatohiug r it ou my shoulder and loose part of my ooat, and striking him in tho faoo with my right In.: ? with all the force I had. We immediately oliuohed. I caught the whin ho had and threw it on the ground, all too while he attempting to gouge me iu the eyes. Immediately we wero sepa rated by bystanders, who were attracted by Mr. Motley's loud expressions. Some one in tho orowd said, 'Turu thom loose,' which they did, and as we vent, together again, I struck bim a full blow in the face. At that time the sheriff arrived aud oaught mo by the arm and said, 'Come on to your office.' Some one oaught Mr. Mobley and took him to the sheriffs office. Shortly afterward I waa placed under a peace bond. At the re corder'a court ibis morning I was dis charged and Mr. Mobley was fined. "These aro tacts to tte wo'j;hed hy the public." W. Boyd EvanB.

Boyd Evans as to tho difficulty be tween him aud myself, and pronounce it to bo absolutely falso as will be shown by tho statements of well known and reputa ble gentlemen-statements as to tho difficulty itself, and statements as to the records of the falso oharges made against mo, which records have iu some way been improperly obtained by Mr. Evans. "A number of years ago, for the pur tiOBO of rovouge, a requisition for mo was Bsued from Georgia. This matter was thoroughly Investigated by the courts ol this State and I was completely vindica ted by the courts. "Tho requisition referred to was re ccntly seen by geutlemeu of tho highest standing in the hands of W. Boyd Keans, who was showing it secretly, attempting to create a falso impression mid conceal ing the truth. "When I lice.une aware of bis dastardly conduct, I detcrnnned to punish him se verely, and pm chased a cow hide for thc purposo. 1 wont to him unarmed and demanded the papers, which ho at first denied any knowledge of and then bo carno eva .ive in his answer. "I then applied the cowhide to bis person a number of timos and continued to use it on him until it became twisted and unfit for uso, and then I throw it on the ground. He did not strike mo a blow, hut commenced hacking off from me as I struck him witli tho cowhide, and continued to do so nf tor I threw down tho cowhide and was striking him with my fists. "His manner was ns cowardly as hi com se has been in thu ?bolo matter. "I endeavored in this way to inflict upon him tho severest punishment for tho unjustiilabln assault ho has made upon my character. "John G. Mobloy."
