o'clock this morning as he stepped from

"Ho~dy do, Jake. The MARSHAL wants

with those apprehendel for any misde-
meanor, hut was allO vel to rest himself in
! Capt. Farnan's private room.
NOT AT ALL UPSET.
Kilrain was not at all upset by his arrest,
but took matters cooIly, as he enjoyed a
nice breakfast fr I'M a nearby restaurant.
Il Train Is looking we'll He is somewhat
{ nned, owing to exposure on the beach at
Old Poi It. His eyes are bright, and his
general appearance is t1at of a man in p r
fec health. His mustache, which was
5 aved off prior to his fight with Sullivan,
! is growing now, and altogether he resem-
bles his appearance whel he was t aine

wardly, he bears no marks whatever of his
rece encounter with Sullivan, and if he
was i jared, the rest he has had and the
surf b1tning at Old Polat have effected a
cure. Jake regretted that be could not
outline his future course owing to tho un-
! certainty as to what would be done with
him by Gov Lowry.
INTENDED To GIVE HIMSELF UP.
He said: Il had intended all along to give
myself up, and as only waiting t. see

the reporter.
NO PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

In relation to the fight, kilrain said that

he considered Muldoon the best ma in the
world to handle the big fellow; in fact, he
| could not have been gotten into such con
| dition by any other man in the world
| About his own condition Kilrain would say

expected to be, and Sullivan was much
stronger than we thought him to be-"

how" was the reply.
to drop in. Among them was 10,
White, his lawyer. 1t was at frs
thought that an attempt woulc
be made to get out habeas corpus
for his releaso from custody, but later de
velopmeuts in the case show that this cours
has been abandoned, Kilrain having decided
to go at once on the requisition to Misss
siSsippi.
GOV. LOWRY NOTIFIED.
Marshal Frey telegraphed the news o
Kilrain's capture to Gov. Lowry early THU
orning, and it has been arranged to sent
Kilrain, accompanied by Capt. Farnan anC
Sergt. Toner. They will probably leave to
night for Mississippi. Secrecy has beef
maintained by the police. 1t Is known
that on July 20 Gov. Lowry made a requisi
ton on Gov. Jackso , who immediatel
issued a warrant for Kilrain's arrest Thi
was received by the marshal on
July 81, and he at once detailed
officers to keep sharp lookou
vicinihity of Norfolk, and every mornins
for the past two weeks the incoming boats
have been watched. All this time Detective
Norris was cavOrting around the couni ry
and newspapers were full of reports alb u
his gs. The Baltimore police, however
laid low, and finally were successful.
THE LEGALITY OF THE ARREST
Marshal Frey is perfectly satisfied will
the legality of Kilrain's arrest and said
II have had many illegal papers thrust a;
me, but would mott ucl anv of them unit
| got warrant direct from Governor Jack
son, then got TO work You see if tn
papers were IN the least faulty then Xii
rains arrest would be illegal and he could
m I've his release on habeas corpus, but as tn,
matter nov stands in my judgment every
thing is perfectly straight and the only thing
is to turn him over to the Mississippi
authorities. Tuere is no case against hin
in this state, and all we had to do was t,
arrest him on the requisition of ano' he
sta e." The latest developm 9nt, are to to,
effect that kilraln will do nothing here
but will so to Mississippi, and make hi
fight before the urts of that state II,
will certainly leave Baltimore in charge O
