CHICAGO, ILL.,, July IAN Associ-
ated Press reporter on his return from
New Orleans, yesterday afternoon
stopped at Louisville. There he learned
of Sullivan IS arrest at Nashville and de-
termined to wait until the evening train
and catch some of the Sullivan party that
escaped the officers at Nashville.
While waiting at one of the depots he
caught 'Parson - Davies, a well-known
sporting manager of Chicago who had in
charge MuIdoon and Cleary just as they
were about to board train bound for
Chicago. Upon arriving at the outskirts
of the city this morning the Muldoon
party left the train aud boarded an out
going train for the East to escape any
chance of arrest. In an interview with
Muldoon he described his escape at Nash
vile as follows: ''I was sitting with
Sullivan when the officers entered the
car. They were about to place me under
arrest when said to them: what do
you mean? I am no prize fighter; do
look like one? L am a gentleman, and
it is your duty to protect me and not to
offer me an insult. They at once
abandoned me and DEVOTED their eff
forts to
SECURING THE BIG FELLOW
and johnson, and here 1 am, little dis
figured from hard work, but still in the
ring.
Muldoon was asked about the condi-
ton of Kilrain. He said Kilrain was
overturned and was not carefully han
died at New Orleans for day or two
before the fight. Had he been properly
managed Sullivan would have had
more severe battle. On the other hand,
Sullivan was put into the ring little
heavy, but in fine condition. MuldOOn
says he told Sullivan he expected he
would lose seven pounds during the fight.
After the mill had been concluded Sulli-
van weighed six and a half pounds less
than when he entered the ring. Null
doom further stated that he was per-
fectly
SATISFIED WITH THE RESULT
of the fight and, unlike a majority of the
sporting fraternity, he believed the bat
tie would be a long one and had instructed
Sullivan to fight slowly, and would
be satisfied if he won in three hours. He
also said that Kilrain g retreating tao
tics were at the advice of Charley Mitch
ell, who for some reason wanted! him
to pursue his (Mitcheu 81 methods IN the
ring.
Parson Davies said that during the ex-
element and rush for the train the cor
respondents were in error as to Kilrain
being left alone in the ring after the
fight The Parson said Kilrain g hackers,
trainers, etc., did suggest deserving
him, but that Mike Donovan, John Muir
ply and himself picked Kilrain up, car
ried him through the rope and placed
him IN a buggy driven by Col. Rich, the
owner of the plantation and battle
ground. Kilrain was then driven rap
idly to a car prepared by the railroad
company at the station and placed on
board Kilrain did not cry in the ring,
but said: ''Where are my friends?" and
when he was lifted into the buggy he
burst out crying.
Charlie Johnson. Sullivan's hacker,
was also on the train and got off at the
same time. Inquiry at sporting resorts
down town was fruitless so far as secur-
ing any trace of them is concerned. 1t
is supposed they are either in hiding in
this city or have taken an outgoing train
for the East.
