just where he is if he could break the banl
of England by doing so. 81 don't think hi
is in Chicago, though" said Wakely
Charley johnson is coming over to see me
and he may have some word. 1t is more
than likely, too, that something will b.
done about the stake mCney."
The stories of Mitchell passing for q
tramp are good deal Overdrawn, but
Charley didn't look as natty as usual when
reporter saw him at Jersey City. He
hadn't a moment longer in New York than
was necessary. Mitchell says Kilrain is
not in New York, but he wouldn't say
where he was. Later in the day Frank
Stevenson said he thought Kilrain was safe
in Canada.
A Mississippi sheriff and a Louisiana de
tectiye were at an uptown hotel the other
night, but to-day they had vanished. This
worries Stevenson now, and he is afraid
that they may have gone to Albany to pro
cure reQuisition.
Mitchell is still central figure. He says
that Kilrain is not diseased, and cannot ac-
count for his failure to justify his friends
confidence in the recent battle Another
thing Mitchell is most anxious to have re-
futed is the story of having left Jake to his
own resources after the latter's defeat.
''That is all NONSENSE says Mitchell.
''Kilrain did the best he could, and his not
winning will net make the slightest differ
ence in my feelings toward him. couldn' t
sit back there III the cars with the men
coming from the fight because l had 20
keep near the engine watching that we did
not get arrested. | don't often carry a
gun, but had one that day, and would have
used it had there been any necessity. Now,
hIIraln don't owe me a cent, and il he did
he could owe me more, instead of my trying
to collect it when he is in hard luck That
was a fool story about the battle Well, I
know Rilrain did not fight like himself that
day, and we were all over confident Jake
thought he could win in punch or two,
and so did l. You can say for me
Sullivan committed the most fragrant fouls
l ever saw. Why, once he would have
damned his spikes through Kilrain's head
as he lay on the grass but for my grabbing
him. l took him by the knee and lifted his
leg away. You know they yelled 'fouP at
me for doing it, and Sullivan said he would
punch my head I'd like to see him try
punching my head when he isn't busy with
anybody else.'
When are you going to challenge Sulli-
van!"
I'D havepu up my money before now but
for all this trouble and talk of arrests. I'll
just let this blow over a bit first"
Elk Governor Pitkin, OF Louisiana, is at
the st. James hotel and is considerably
amused over the efforts of Governor Lowry
to bring the pugilists to justice "A man
elected to office by such means as those
which put Lowry into place" said Pitkin
to Horid reporter last night, shows a
good deal of Inconsistency in his hunt after
Sullivan and Kilrain. He knows, and the
people of the state know, that he got where
he is by methods fully as disreputable as
those employed by the managers of the
prize fighters. Lowry does not show any
extraordinary discretion III making such a
furore when his own personal record could
be brought up against him. A man who
does not oppose the code duello, and
who has been himself engaged in encoun-
tiers clearly against the statutes, is hardly
the man to make fight against persons
who committed what the law regards as u
misdemeanor. Lowry will make himself IL
laughing stock to the people who know
