Sam. G. Reid in Courier-Journal.
Sargent S. Prentiss had won a
worldwide reputation in Mississip-
pi as an orator and "a lawyer. His
two duels with Gov. Henry s..
Foote in 1888, in which he was both
times challenged, and each time
wounded his adversary, had eStab-
lished his reputation for courage.
The witchery OF his eloquence sur
passed any living orator of his
time, or, indeed, any that had pre-
ceded him, from Patrick Henry
down to the present day.
He first came to Natchez, Miss,
1927, and was employed as tutor in
private family of the widow OF the
late Judge Shields, OF the supreme
court of that Safe, and availed
himself of the fine library of that
noted jurist. Although u native
of the State of Maine, Prentiss had
none of the prejudices of his peo-
pie, and readily adapted bimselt to
Southern customs and institutions.
In 1929 he was admitted to the bar,
and formed law partnership with
Gen. Felix Huston at Natchez. In
1881 he removed to Nicksburg, but
frequently visited his old home in
Natchez. The writer first met with
Mr.. Prentiss at Natchez after his
wonderful defense of DIR. Wilkin-
son, of Mississippi, in 1889, for the
killing of Rothwsll and Meeks in
the celebrated tragedy at the Gait
house in Louisville, KY, on which
occasion he WAS associated with the
distinguished Judge John Rowan.
His argument on that occasion was !
considered his great masterpiece of
forensic eloquence, and which re-
suited in the acquital of DIR. Wilk |
inson, although the best talent of !
the State OF Kentucky was employ !
ed for the prosecution. His repart- /
ee, sprightliness of wit and wither-
ing sarcasm were unsurpassed. I
The result of his power lay in his
application and adapta-
ton of classical, historical and
poetical quotations with which he
adorned and illustrated hisspeeches
and arguments.
Mr.. PreEtiss was small in statue,
not being over five feet eight inches
in height, aud was deformed by his
right foot being smaller than the
left one, and which turned under,
so that he used "a cane in walking.
He had "a massive cliff forehead,
arge blue eyes, handsome features,
with remarkably intellectual ex-
preston, in which nobleness, dar-
ng aud magnanimity were singu-
aTly combined. He had q very
