doom, the trainer of Sullivan, who has
Just come back from New Orleans, where
he went to look after Sullivan when the
champion WAS arrested and taken to the
state of Mississippi ct the instigation of
Governor Lowry, says he did not see
any bright prospect Of Sullivan getting
off easily.
"You see," he went on, "Governor
Lowry did not so much care that the tight
took place in his state in spite of his
proclamation, but he smarted under the
gibes Of the newspapers He had it all
arranged to have the trial come on before
the county judge in the same county
where the fight took place, and II was
understood that this judge would only
impose fine. But on the day fixed for
the trial the governor and the state
prosecuting attorney went out to this
judges court and they frightened him.
He was not used to dealing with such
big men as governors and attorney-gen-
erals. and, therefore, he weakened and
sent the case to another oourt, in which
Sullivan will not fare 80 we'll. The trial
comes up next Tuesday, and,it convicted
he will probably be imprisoned for q
year and fined 81, 900. Whet we wanted
to do was to get the case postponed from
time to time until Lowry and some others
he is commanding should get out OF
Office. But l guess he will not allow
that; al least he acts now as though he
meant TO make us smart. Before this
matter has ended it will cost $40, 00O."
