the result Of his trial down there will
be remains to be seen.
There was plenty of time To get out Of
the city had the champion had any in
cination that way, for two OF three of
ms friends had the tip that the in
spectOr had warrant for him. and told
johnson and Wakely an hour before
the arrest was made. but they thought
IL better To take the medicine while it
was fresh, and not wait until the stuff
became fiat and sour. or course the big
fellow runs the chance of being fined
~ 600 and going into retirement for a
year but there are great possibilities in
the way of mercy toward a victorious
man. no matter wheti er he be prize
fighter or a soldier.
Waksly and johnson and hundreds
OF men who have money, and who call
themselves Sullivan s friends. stand
ready and willing to back him in his
slugglng match with the law TO anv
amount. and there will be no lack of
funds to keep him cut of Jail. The
little time that he spent behind the bars
m French jail after his 90 with
Mitchell left him in a most horrible
condition. and if by any chance he
should be put away for any length of
Time IN Mississippi it will make him
