OF the prize fight murder on Bloody Island.

eighteen years Of age, and belong % thai class
known AZ ssroughs." ReardOn has been an in -
mate of the workhouse. The police arrested
Reardsn, Thomas Hogan, and a half a DOZEN
others. Reardon denied that he had been across
the river, but his nose had been bleeding. and
he had bloody handkerchief in ms pocket
Hogan admitted that he had been a spectator 60
the hight but denied that Mccain was killed in
his presence, or that ne knows who struck the
fatal blow. Both the prisoners refuse 20 tell
anything about the fracas. One version IL that
Mccain and another man Were fighting. with
Hogan and Reardon rs seconds, and that after
the light Hogan attacked McCann and gave
him a blow which produced death. A sister OF
McCann learned from one of the spectators
that Hogan had killed her brother. Ii appears
that the authorities OF East 81 Louis knew
nothing OF the fight until they were notified
that one OF the men WAS in a dying condition.
Martin Broderick and Jack RYAN, who were
present uring the fight. Were captured. Bro
derlck stated that himself and Hogan were sec
onds for Reardon, and that Jack Ryan and Bill
McHenry were seconds for Mccain. He stated
that only five or six rounds were fought In
the last round Mccain grew faint and stag
gered; his arms Were hanging loosely by ms
side, and he reeled towards Reardon, who
dealt him a terrific blow in the abdomen Par
tues IN the crowd then cried out. sDont hit
him again" but Reardon paid no attention TO
the warning, and struck another powerful
blow near the same locality, when Mccain fell
heavily upon the ground, and shortly after
wards expired. Broderick stated that the figirt
was a stand up one-give and take-not
cording 10 any prize ring rules; that there
was no money up, that IL was 10 settle an old
grudge, but what the grudge was he wouldn't
tell.
All OF the parties arrested refused 10 commu-
nlcate the facts OF the tragedy. Some of them
insist that they Were not present, and all OF
them say they know nothing about il. On the
same day Mccain and Reardon Were bent on
settling dispute by rough and tumble fight
in an alley, but an officer dispersed the crow q.
resolved TO end the matter on Bloody Island.
Rumors are many and varied. One has II tins
Mccain was killed by a kick on the head.
Another that one hundred and forty rounds
were fought-that McCann came up brayely
every time, but the last when he dropped down
dead from exhaustion and bodily injury. A
post mortem examination Will give some idea
of the nature OF the killing
