When Octavia gave birth to baby Jacob, the new parents were proud and happy. Their small family became the envy of the t

James and the men of Pikeville celebrated his impending fatherhood. It was the culmination of a lifelong dream for him. From the time he could speak, the father-to-be spoke about wanting children and how he would lavishly love on them and his wife.

Wemple: I have confirmed that there was no cut in the throat of the 12-year-old girl; can you confirm on the record that there was not a cut to the skin and only a bruise?

“It happened before. [Sloane’s daughter] comes home with this huge gash on her leg. There’s a gash on one leg. There [are] bruises and gashes on another leg, blood coming out through her pants.”

My response: Here, Wemple is stating that he’s tracked down Sloane — and that he believes I’ve mischaracterized a saber-fencing throat injury sustained by her 12-year-old daughter at Junior Fencing Nationals.

Shortly after their 1890 wedding, Octavia and James celebrated her pregnancy. Neighbors and friends noted how the young man doted on his expectant wife. And how she did everything in her power to make sure her husband had a smile on his face.

In fact-checking the piece, The Atlantic’s research department verified the Bates assertion with several knowledgeable lacrosse sources, including Terry Foy, Publisher and CEO of Inside Lacrosse. Foy confirmed that Bates College sounded like a plausible end point for the 80th or 90th -ranked midfielder.

Octavia and James Hatcher loved one another deeply. The couple married young. Those who knew the couple said the duo tying the knot was inevitable. So was them having their first child.

While fencing on the whole is a safe, highly regulated sport, it’s not unusual for young fencers to sustain neck bruises, leg cuts, and other blunt sword-tip injuries. There are multiple accounts of such injuries on online fencing forums and message boards.

In emails to me and to my editors, Wemple initially stated that he had a source who told him that the leg injury never happened. He asked if we had copies of Sloane’s daughter’s medical records that we could provide to him as proof.

The Hatchers were the toast of Pikeville, Kentucky. Older ladies helped Octavia keep the house straightened and with dinner. They gave more assistance the closer to the due date the young woman got.

The piece does not contend that Sloane’s daughter sustained a “cut in the throat.” I describe the injury as a “stab,” a “jab,” a “wound” inflicted by a saber fencing blade that slipped under a protective bib. Generally, a non-penetrating wound is accompanied by bruising. Sloane had described her daughter’s injury as a hard jab to the throat with a saber fencing blade that resulted in “a giant purple, swollen golf ball on the side of the neck” next to the carotid artery.

In its Editor’s Note, The Atlantic states that it has “clarified a detail about a neck injury sustained by Sloane’s middle daughter, to be more precise about its severity.” I had based my description of Sloane’s daughter’s injury on Sloane’s account of what happened that day — an account which she subsequently repeated to the magazine’s fact-checker. The Atlantic’s clarification does not materially change the nature of the injury.

My response: In the fourth paragraph of my story, I note that Sloane’s daughter had “been hurt before while fencing — on one occasion gashed so deeply in the thigh that blood seeped through her pants.”

Following its own investigation, The Atlantic has clarified my description of Sloane’s daughter’s leg injury, changing the “deep gash” to “a skin rupture that bled through a fencing uniform.” I will leave it to readers to decide whether this edit materially changes the piece.
