2566 - L. Feb. 11; ed: 2/3 - Cox of Ohio begged federal General Davis to
suspend hostilities for just a moment, and then he entered Davis' camp
and pleaded for peace. Davis ordered Cox put under guard.
"We have reason to believe that Cox would be speedily and intensely
disgusted, and would return to his hearth and home a different, wiser
and perhaps even an honest man." (5)
