try After Them.
BALTIMORE, July 20.-Detective John T.
Norris, of Springfield, O., who has spent
the last two days in New York after
Mitchell and PONY" Moore, arrived here
this morning. He had come to arrest Jake
Kilrain and Johnny Murphy. lie handed
Marshal Frey his requistion papers, signed
by the governor of Mississippi, for the arrest
of Jake Kilrain, principal, and Charley
Mitchell, Mike Donovan and John Murphy,
as accessories in breaking the law Of Mis-
sissippi Tho marshal said that the
rsuuisition was useless, as it did not specify
the state OF Maryland or bear the counter
sign Of Gov. Jackson, and that he could not
order Klrains arrest until he received
warrant signed by Gov. Jackson. Detec-
tive Norris went up to Jake's house, but he
had been spirited away by his friends, and
the detective, apparently thinking his trip
useless, disappeared at the Pennsylvania
railroad station, but whether he has really
left town is not positively known.
