BALTIMORE, August 1.-THE eS-
champion, Jake Kilrain, is now in the
clutches of the law. He was captured at
: O'Clock this morning as he stepped
from the Norfolk boat on his arrival at
her wharf.
When Kilrain walked off the gang
plank, accompanied by his wife, Ser
geant Frank Toner greeted him with
these words: "How do you do, Jake9
The Marshal wants to see YOU"
IAN right. l am ready to go with
you"
The Sergeant was armed with the
proper authority, VIZ: a warrant issued
by Governor Jackson for kilrain's ar
rest, by virtue of a reouisition made
upon him by Governor Lowry of MissiS-
sippi.
When apprehended by the sergeant,
Kilrain waited long enough to get his
baggage together and sent with his wife
to his residence in this city. He then
entered a carriage and was driven to
the central police station. He was not
put under lock and key, as is customary
with those apprehended for any misde-
lneauor, but was allowed to rest himself
in Captain Farnan's private room. Kill
rain was not at all upset by his arrest,
but took matters coolly, as he enjoyed
nice breakfast from nearby restaurant.
Kilrain is looking well. He is some
what tanned, owing to exposure on the
beach at Old Point. His eyes are bright
and his general appearance is that OF a
man in perfect health. His mouStache,
which was shaved off prior to the fight,
IS growing now, and altogether he
resembles his appearance when he was
trained for the Areil Boat Club seve-
raj seasons ago. Jake weighs about two
hundred pounds. Outwardly he bears
no marks whatever of his recent en-
counter with Sullivan, and if he was
injured, the rest he had and the surf
bathing at Old Point has effected a
cure
Jake regretted that he could not out
line his future course, owing to the un-
certainty as to what would be done
with him by Governor Lowery. He
said:
81 had intended all along to give
myself up and was only waiting to see
what they would do with Sullivan. I
thought it was better to do that than to
keep lodging around the country trying
to evade arrest. They would have
bounded me anyhow until they captured
me, and did not care to leave the
country as all my interests are here, and
think can do well when once am
free. Unfortunately, however, came
home few days too soon. Had l
waited little longer I would have
known what was done to Sullivan, and
,thsY%ould have known what to expect
myself. Of course, I expect to get the
sa1ne that he does. lifts a fine and six
mouths in Jail, then I will get it too"
eff that should be the result, Jake,
what will YOU do after serving your
sentence?'' inquired reporter.
'sOh, I don't know. 1 have not made
any plans for the future. l have several
offers from combinations to go on the
road, and any one of them would pay me
pretty well. I suppose l will have to
give up all such ideas now, until I find
out what they are going to do with me
down South
In relation to the fight, Kilrain said
that Sullivan was in prime condition,
and that he considered Muldoon the
best man in the world to handle the big
fellow. In fact, he could not have been
gotten unto sach condition byanaSs, othsr
the wocld-
dition Kilrain would say little. He said:
II was not as strong as expected to be,
and Sullivan was much stronger than We
thought him to be-"
'<'sA great many people think that
Mitchell did not handle you properly,
Jake" said the reporter,
sob, guess he did as well as he
knew how" was the reply.
About this time Kilrain's friends began
to drop in. Among them was Joe
White, his lawyer 1t was at first thought
that an attempt would be made to get
out ba5eas eorzass writ for his release
from custody, but later developments in
the case showed that this course has
been abandoned, Kilrain having decided
to goat once on the requisition to Mis-
sissippi.
- Marshal Frey telegraphed the news of
Kilrain's capture to Governor Lowry
early this morning, and it has been ar
ranged to send Kilrain, accomI anied by
Captain Farnan and Sergeant Toner.
They will probably leave tonight for
Mississippi.
Secrecy has been maintained by the
police, as it is now known that on the
29th of July Governor Lowry made
requisition on Governor Jackson, who
Immediately issued a warrant for
Klrain's arrest. This was received by
tbemarshal on July S1st, and he at once
detailed officers to keep sharp lookout
for Klrain, who was known to be in
the vincinity of Norfolk, and every
morning for the past two weeks the in
coming boats have been watched.
All this time Detective Norris has
been eavorting around the country and
the newspapers were full of reports
about his doings. The town police,
however, laid low and finally were sue
ceSsful.
Marshal Frey is perfectly satisfied
With the legality of Kilrain's arrest, and
said: HeI have had many illegal papers
thrust at me, but would not touch any
of them until I got warrant direct
from Governor Jackson. Then ! got to
work. You see, if the papers were IN
the least faulty, then Kilrain's arrest
: would be Illegal, and he could move his
release on b06eGs corpus. But as mat
tiers now stand, il my Judgment, every
thing is perfectly straight, and the
or.Hthing is TO turn him over to the
Mississippi authorities. There is no
case against him in this State, and all
we had to do was to arrest him on a
requisition from another State. y
