BALTIMORE, ND. Aug. 1.-THE ex-
champion Jake KilraIn is now in the
clutches Of the law. He was captured
about O'Clock this morning as he
stepped from the Norfolk boat, on his
arrival at her wharf When Kilrain
walked off the gang plank accompanied
by his wife, Sergeant Frank Toney
greeted him with these words: Chow
do, Jake? The marshal wants to see
you.
''An right, 1 am ready to go with
you.
The sergeant was armed with the pro-
per authority, viz. q warrant issued by
Governor Jackson for Kilrain s arrest by
virtue of requIsition made on him by
Governor Lowry of Mississippi. When
apprehended by the sergeant KiIrain
waited only long enough to get his bag
gage together and sent it with his wife to
his residence. He then entered car
rage and was driven to the central po-
lice station. He was not put under lock
and key, but was allowed TO rest himself
in Capt. Farnam Office. Kilrain Is
hooking well and was not at all upset by
ENJOYED NICE BREAKFAST
ordered from a nearby restaurant.
He is somewhat tanned owing to
exposure on the beach at Old Point.
His eyes are bright and his general ap-
pearance is that of q man in perfect
health His moustache was shaved off
prior to his fight with Sullivan and is now
growing new. Altogether he resembles
his appearance when he was trainer for
the Arctic boat club several seasons ago.
Jake regretted that he could not outline
shis future course owing t0 the uncertain
ty as to what would be done with him by
Governor Lowry. He said: 81 had
intended all along to give my
self up, and was only waiting to
see what they would do with Sullivan.
l thought it would be better to do that
than to keep lodging around the country
trying to avoid arrest, as [ did not care
to leave the country, as all my interests
are here and l think can do well when
once L am free. I came home a few
days too soon. Had l waited a little
longer [ would have known what was
done to Sullivan and then would have
known what to expect. Of course I ex-
pect to get the same that he does. If it
is a fine and six months in jail, then /
get it too. -
In relation to the fight Kilrain said that
Sullivan was in prime condition, and
that he considered Muldoon the best man
in the world to handle the big fellow. In
fact, he could not have been gotten into
such condition by any other man. About
his own condition Kilrain
WOULD SAY VERY LITTLE.
He said: 81 was not as strong as l
expected to be and Sullivan was much
stronger than we thought him to be. -
"a great many people think Mitchell
did not handle you properly, Jake, -
said the reporter.
''Oh, guess he did as well as he knew
how was the reply.
Marshall Frey telegTaphed the news of
Kilrain' IS capture to Governor Lowry
this morning, and it has been arranged
TO send Kilrain. accompanied by Capt.
Farnam and Serg. Toney. They will
;I4rolably leave Tonight for Mississippi.
Secrecy has been maintained between the
police, as it is now known that on July
28 Governor Lowry made a requIsition
on Governor Jackson, who issued war
rant for Kilrain 5 arrest. This was re-
ceived by Marshal Frey on July 81, and
he at once detailed officers to keep n
sharp lookout for Kilrain, who was known
to be in the vicinity of Norfolk, and
every morning for the past two weeks the
incoming boats have been watched.
