THE death recently in Florida of Gen George
B. Hodge, formerly of Kentucky. says the New
York Press, brings to mind the part that gen
tleman bore In what might have been duel be-
tween Col. John A. Cockerill and Judge Patrick
U. Major IN June, 1874. Col. Cockeril was at
the time editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Major was judge on the bench in the famous
case of william H. Terrll for the murder OF
Harvey Myers. one of the greatest lawyers of
Kentucky. Majors rulings were all in favor Of
the defendant, which completely outraged pub
lie sentiment. The Cincinnati paper was severe
upon the judge He wanted to fight. He sent
Gen. Hodge with a challenge to the young edi
tor. 1t was the first one he had ever received.
He was not believer in the code, Instead OF
accepting he printed on the following morning
a column letter, signed, which was so humorous
that Major was ever atterward held up to ridi-
cule. He soon retired to private life. Terrill
had three trials; the first he was sentenced to
death, the second imprisonment for life, aud on
the tdtrd he was acquitted.
