Announcement:
"I feel it be due to the community in which I reside, to make the following brief statement. One Charles W. Ogden insulted a Lady under my protection -- although I gave him ample opportunity to retract, he persevered in his insult. Ascertaining that he was unworthy to be treated as a gentleman, I inflicted on him, in a public part of Mobile, the ignominious chastisement of the Cowhide. As he entertained the hope of wiping off his stigma, by publishing a Placard in relation to me, I desire the public to understand, that I have selected the Cowhide as an implement appropriate to his character; and that his base conduct has taken from him all claim to be treated as a gentleman. Any one whose curiosity may incline him to ascertain the facts, may obtain precise and full information from documents in possession of Gov. Gayle".
CHARLES A. MARSTON
Mobile, April 30, 1839.
A case involving Charles W. Marston of Mobile County. In 1840 Marston was convicted for assault and battery of Charles W. Ogden. The incident occurred when a dispute between the servants of Marston and Ogden over a smoothing iron resulted in Ogden's insulting Marston's wife. After failing to secure a retraction from Ogden for his remarks, Marston met Ogden in the street and publicly beat him with a whip.
