held at The central police station. Rcqui

in the clutches oi the law. He was cap
turcd about seven O'Clock this morning
as he stepped from the Norfolk boat Oh

walked off the gang plank accompanied
by his wife, sergeant Frank Tanner
greeted him with these words "HoW
do, Jake. marshal Frey wants to SC,
yOu."
"All right am ready to go with you.
The sergeant was armed with tho
proper authority, viz: A warrant isSuct
by Governor Jackson for kilrain'S ar
rest by virtue of Il rcuuiSitiOn made oI

if he was injured, the rest he has had,
and sun bathing at Old Point, have
effected "A cure lake regrets that he
could not outline his future course, owing
to the uncertainty aS to what would be
done with hm by Governor Lowry. He
said: 81 had intended all along to give
myself up and was only waiting to sec
what they would do with Sullivan |
thought it was better to do that than to
keep dodging around the country trying
to cvadc arrest. They would have
me, and | did not care to leave the
country, as all my interests arc here, and
| think can do well, when once more
am free. Unfortunately, however, |
came home a few days too soon
Had waited a littlclongcr, would have
known what was don to Sullivan, and
then would have known what to expect
myself. OF course expect to get the
same that he docs. it is fine and siX
months i'll Jail then will get it too.'
"Il that should be the result, Jake,
what will you do after serving your sell
tcncc;" inquired a reporter.
"Oh, don't know. | have not made
any plans for the future. | have several
offers from combinations to go on the
road, and any one Of them would pay me
pretty well. suppose will havctogivc
III, all such ideas now until | find what
they are going to do with me down
| South"
In relation to the fight he said that
Sullivan was i'll prime condition, and
that he considered Nluldoon the best man
in the world to handle the big fellow; i'll
fact, he could not have been gotten into
such condition by any other man.
When asked his own condition, kilrain
would say but little. He said: IL was
not as strong as expected to be- and
Sullivan much stronger than we thought
him to be"
"a great many people think that
Jake, said the reporter.
"Oh, guess he did as well as he knew
how" was the reply.
About this time Kirain's friends be
gan to drop in among them was Joe
Whytc, his LAWYER. 1t was at first thought
that an attempt would he made to get
out hahcas corpus for his release from
custody. But later developments in the
case show this course has been aban-
duncd, kilruin having decided to 80 at
urcc ON the rcquisition to Mississippi.
Marshal Frey tclcgraphcd the news of
kiIrain's capture to Governor Lowry
carly this morning, and it has been al
ragged to send kilrain, accompanied by
Captain I'arnan and Sergeant Tanner.
Ih,y will probably leave tonight for
Mississippi, Secrecy has bccnmaintaincd
by the police as it is now known that
ON he 29th Of July Governor Lowry
made the requiSition on Governor Jack
son. who Immediately issued a warrant
for kilrain's arrest. This was received by
the marshal on July 81, and he at once
GCl1ilcd officers to keep sharp lookout
for kilrHin, who was known to be in the
vicinity of Norfolk; and every morning
for he past two weeks, the incoming
boats have been watched. All this time
detective Norris was Cavurting around
the country and the newspapers were
full of reports about his dUingS. The
Baltimore police, however, laid low, and
finally were successful. Marshal Frey is
perfectly satisfied with the legality of
kilrain'S arrest, and said, 81 have had
many illegal papers thrust at me but
would not touch any of them until got
Il warrant direct from Governor Jackson;
then got to work. You see, if the pa
pcrS were in the least faulty, then Xii
rains arrest would be illegal, and he
could move his release ON Il habcaS cor
puS; hut as the matter now stands, i'll
my Judgment everything is perfectly
straight and the only thing is to turn
him over to the Mississippi authorities,
There is ~ case against hrmi this State;
and all we had to uO was to arrest Inn
on the rcquisition of another State"
Latest developments are to the effect
that kilrain will do nothing here, but
will go to Mississippi and make his fight
before the courts oi that State. lie will
certainly leayc Baltimore in charge of
Capt. Farnan and sergeant Tanner to-
night.
