noon. They had hard time lodging the
officers about Edinburg, Ind. They drove out
of the town and left Pony Moore at . station q

boarded a Lake Erie and Western train, and
when the train reached Noblesville he was
Joined by Kilrain and Murphy. Stone was left
at Noblesville to care for and return the team.
1t is supposed the others have gone to Detroit.
Kilrain has written to his wife at Baltimore to
send him g, 900 to Toronto, where all the men,
bers Of the party expect to meet.
WHAT FRANK STEVENSON SAYS
While in Chicago yesterday Frank Steven
son, one of Kilrain's hackers, said to re-
porter:
1.-THE statement that Jake is suffering
from constitutional ailment has not grain
of truth in it. Physically he is perfectly
sound. but his condition when he entered the
ring was very far from being right. He only
weighed 1873 pounds, IL pounds less than he
should have weighed. Sullivan's weight was
21O pounds. Kilrain stepped into the ring as
contldeut OF victory rs anybody could be. He
laughed and joked on the way to it, and told
his friends again and again that he would win.
After the first round. in which he had rushed
in and thrown Sullivan heavily he told Mitch
ell he had some doubts concerning himself.
He said that it had required too much strength
to throw Sullivan and that he feared his
strength had not been well developed Kill
rains plan was to endeavor to break Sullivan
short ribs. and he landed on them whenever
he wanted to. In fact. he never had any
difficulty in hitting Sullivan, and this
makes it certain that he is the cleverest
hg liter that ever stepped into ring His
blows lacked force and Jake realized this as
nnVhndU tarf no I'd in
which there was fierce exchange of blows,
kilrain knew that he was beaten. IfSJake had
been In condition l am convinced, and so are
all the judges of fighting who were present.
Sullivan could never have won. The charge
that Jake frequently and deliberately fouled
Sullivan is not true. know for a fact that
Sullivan began the forty-tifth round with or
ders from Muldoon to fall on Kilrain. When
the latter went down Sullivan evidently forgot
this order for moment. When he remem-

hllraln. who was PROSTATE. When Sullivan
was taken sick in the forty-third round
Jake's friends yelled to him to go in and
tight, but he refused, and told Sullivan
that he would wait until he felt better"
MIR. Stevenson said that Jake could readily
get backing OF $4,000 to fight Sullivan again.
'hllraln has not been permanently injured"
said 1lr. Stevenson, land in short time he
will be as good man as he ever was in his
life. take no stock in the statements that
Charley Mitchell neglected Jake, and sent
him into the ring in poor condition. / do not
think that Jake's condition was Mitchell's fault
Mitchell stuck to him throughout and did the
lest he could for him."
SULLIVAN IN CHICAGO.
II is said that Notwithstanding MANY conflict
ing rumors John l.. Sullivan was in Chicago all
day yesterday.
As to whether extradition papers would be
granted III his case by Governor Hill, the gov
ernor said yesterday that no application had
been made to him. OF course he could not saw
whether one would be, neither would it be proper
for him 20 say whether he should grant such an
application if made to him. That would be
Ike judge N court or a jury telling what
their verdict would be before the evidence was
presented.
The rules governing extradition in this state
were formulated In 1885 by Governor Hill and
no deviation from them has been or will be
permitted. At that time governors of other
states were furnished with copies of the rules
ana with very rare exceptions. notably that of
Governor Flfer, of Illinois. in the Maroney and
Mcdonald case, have invariably complied with
them. Those rules do not permit extradition
by telegraph. The application must be made
Dy the district attorney of the county in which
the Ohense was committed. and must include
certified copies OF the original papers on which
the Charge rests. Inc papers must also state
the name of the criminal the place where the
evidence. The officer presenting the applica-
ton must be certified to possessing power to
act.
The possibility of John L. being extradited
would seem to be very remote.
JUDGE M'ALLIsTER EXPLAINS
The following card from Circuit Judge Nc
Allister at Nashville. Tenn, whose decision
liberated John L. Sullivan last Thursday. is fur
nished to the press
Il desire to state to the public that in deiiy-
erlng my judgment in the case OF John L. Sui
Ivan did not mention the name OF Gov Robt
l.. Taylor, nor did ever refer to the practice
OF the executive department of the state of
Tennessee III refusing to extradite for mibde-
meanor. based my judgment wholly upon
my own construction OF the Constitution of the
United States and the statutes of the state Of
tennessee. The report of the press SO far as
they attempt to divide responsibility of nv
judgment between myself and the governor of
the state are wholly without foundation If
there was any error or wrong in the discharge
OF John L. Sullivan desire the people of Ten
nessee to know assume tine whole response
bility. Gov. Taylor was not i'll the city of
Nashville at the time. / discharged John L.
Sullivan because there was no requisition from
the governor Of Mississippi nor any warrant of
eXtradItlon from the governor OF Tennessee.
The question of exIradItion for misdeneanors
cut no figure whatever in my judgment"
BET ALL But THE BABY ON KILRAIN
The heaviest loser by the Kilrain- Sullivan
prize fight lives i'll Louisville. Ky. Andy
Schuessler. a laborer bet all the cash he had and
two months wages in advance on Kilrain. But
that Was not enough, and he was go confident
OF the DaltlmoreaH 5 success that he finally put
up his baby carriage On him. Now he has
nothing but the baby left.
