Some Further Remarks From Kilrain

PORTLAND, July 17.-Richard Ever
ding, who was recently elected police
commissioners, and who presented a
petition for a writ of mandamus. had
the petition denied by Judge Shat
tuck this morning. Joe Simon is still
on top.
A jury in the Sandy Olds murder
case, was at last obtained by 1870 this
morning; the panel is now filed and
stands as follows: J. I. Hughes. car
riage maker; f. r. Neale. carpenter.
j. Il. Brobst, groceryman; z. r. Moore.
furniture dealer; ]. l.. Schultz. paint
er; William Dalton; Daniel Seller.
contractor; J. L. Birdsall, broker: r.
X. Morrill,, real estate dealer; Henry
Griffin, laborer; and Peter Watt, car
penter, all of East Portland; and Kirk
Sheldon, merchant of this CITY.
Both counsel for prosecution and de-
tense made arguments and the exam
lnatlon of witnesses began at one
o'clock. A night session is being bad.
but probably the case will not go TO
the jury before tomorrow night.
KILRAIN HEARD FROM AGAIN.
BALTIMORE, July 17.-Kilrain ar
rived III Baltimore yesterday and has
entirely recovered the effects of his
recent battle with Sullivan. He does
not show mark of any kind. Kill
rain said he was whipped squarely,
but he thought he was largely the
victim of circumstances. When asked
if he thought he had been drugged, he
said no. Johnnie Murphy, when
asked the same question, answered
Imysteriously that there was something
wrong, but that for the present his
tongue was tied, but when the proper
time came he expected to make some
important revelations. Have you
got anything to say about Mitchell?'
the reporter asked.
"Well he was not very attentive to
say the least" IF you ever fight
again would you have Mitchell for a
trainer?" No sir L don't know that
L would, but don't know that will
fight any more. l think I've had my
share of it." In speaking further of
the fight, Kilrain said: II weighed
1S5 pounds when | went into the ring,
and all talk about me only weighing
16S is all bosb. / knew that had
not been trained properly, and was
not in fit condition to fight Sullivan,
but if L had not gone into the ring
people would have said / was a cow
ard. [ meant to fight if it killed me-
The crowd there was against me. and
The referee while [ think he is a
square man, was partial to Sullivan,
and knew nothing about the rules.
Both he and the crowd kept all the
time telling me to go up to Sullivan,
and went knowing l would only he
knocked down. OF course the referee
had no right to say word, and under
the rules L could have run all around
the ring, but there was no one but
little Murphy there to coach and [
blindly went up and took my medi-
cine. In fact L thought that | was
knocked down repeatedly, but not be
ing knocked ont shows that Sulivan's
terrible blows did not have the power
some people suppose they did. l
could have stood up longer, but Don
ovan threw up the sponge in his ex-
citement, being afraid that L would be
killed. My blows for some reason,
did not seem to have any force. My
arms seemed numb, but what was the
matter 1 don't know for the life ofme,
The sun thad n terrible effect on me,
my back was Ole big blister after the
fight"
