New YORK, Aug. John L. Sulli-
van was taken before Judge O'Brien in
supreme court chambers this noon, and
through his counsel, Delaney Nieoll,
admitted his identity as the person
called for in the writ of eXtraditiOn. He
said he was willing to go South, and
Judge O'Brien ordered that he be turned
over at once to Deputy Sheriff Childs, of
jackson, Miss. Counsel Nicoll informed
the judge that before the arrest was
made Sullivan had made up his
mind to go back voluntarily and
surrender himself to the author
tiles of the state of Mississippi
feeling confident he would be justly and
fairly dealt with. He further said that
when Sullivan entered into the COM
pact of fighting Jake Kilrain, he UNI
derstood that the battle ground would
be in the state of Louisiana, and it was
not until the night before the fight that
the place of fighting was changed to
Mississippi, and Sullivan did not really
know until at the ring-side that he was
in the state of Mississippi. He did not
change the ground, and he had no in
tention of breaking the law, but he had
no alternative but to fight or become a
poltroon. Sullivan is now willing to go
back in charge of Deputy Sheriff Childs
as soon as that officer desires. Assist
ant District Attorney McDOnna then
took receipt from the deputy sheriff
for the body of John l.. Sullivan, who
was then handed over to his custody by
Detective Adams.
All the fight seemed to have gone out
of Sullivan when he reached headquar-
tiers again after the surrender in court.
Said he: 'If l had known that there
was law against fighting in MissiS-
sippi | would not have fought there. [
would not have made myself Liable to
arrest. Well, will go back and take
my medicine" He chewed the end of
his cigar awhile and continued: ''Any-
how, l would have fought that fellow,
Kilrain. l was goaded to it. The
whole gang would have walked all
over me if [ had not licked him. l sup
pose Pm a scapegoat now for doing it,
and Kilrain will go free. Poor fellow.
But they don't want him-he's licked"
Three-quarters of an hour after Sulli-
vans arrival at headquarters he was
ready for his trip, aud the police board
granted six days leave of absence to
Detective Sergeant Thomas Adams to
go along with him to Richburg. Sulli-
van, after shaking hands with Inspector
Byrnes, was transferred to the keeping
of Agent Childs. of Mississippi, who
made out a receipt for the live stock as
follows:
Received from Inspector Byrnes the body
of John L. Sullivan. surrendered under order
OF the supreme court L. Z. CHILDS,
Agent.
At two o'clock, the party accom-
panied by Mike Cieary and William
Muldoon started for the Vanderbilt
hotel, where they packed up SulliVan's
clothes in preparation for the Journey.
Now that Sullivan is sure to go to Mis-
sissippi, quite number of his friends
and hackers in that town are growing
The fate of r.Sully," may be their fate
before many new moons are seen, and
they are WOnder.l g what the next
move of Gov. Lowry will be. They are
at present an unhappy lot of sporting
men. Now if according to this law it is
possible to extradite Sullivan, it is
equally easy to secure possession of the
bodies of William Muldoon. Charlie
Johnston. James Wakely and
some responsible representative
of the New York Illustrated
news, the hackers of Sullivan.
If Gov. Lowry asks Gov. Hill to sur
render these men to him the sporting
men have made up their minds that
Gov. Hill will comply with the request.
The alternative for them is either to
face the music or skip for parts un-
known. They don't want to do either.
One proposition preached this after
noon was:
las it is dead sure thing John has to go
back, why not make up party of the whole
gang VINO went with him from Belfast to the
fighting grounds and go back with the
champion. Let them surrender to the Missis-
sippi authorities and take the legal dose adj
ministered to them by the courts of that
state
'sThat will be standing by Sullivan" said
one of the crowd this al ternoon, and it will
show him and the public we're not the men
to go back on him whom in hole
Sullivan left the Grand Central depot
at 7:35 on his Southern journey in com
pany with Muldoon, Pat Martin, his
brother Mike. and man who called
himself P. S. Trout. State Agent
Childs and Detective Sergeant Adams
made I'D the company.
