New YORK, Aug. John L. Sullivan looked
none the worse this morning after his occu-
pancy at police headquarters of one of the or
diuary cells there for the night. At 1890 he
was taken to the district attorneys office. He
was accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Childs Of
Mississippi and two New York detectives
When the carriage reached the court house it
was surrounded by cheering and bowling
crowd. Officers with difficulty forced way
for the pugilist from the coach to the build
ing. Sullivan was taken before District Attor-
ney Fellows and the papers upon which he was
arrested were handed to that official, who,
having carefully read them over, gave whis-
pered instructions to one of his clerks. This
individual in turn took the papers and, turning
to the prisoner, said: Sullivan, if you want
you can get writ Of habeas corpus, provided
you are willing to swear that you are not John
u. Sullivan"
THE BIG FELLOW SMILED, But SAID NOTHING.
Then his baeker, Charley johnson, who stood
beside him, explained that they were waiting
for Delaney Nicoll, who had been retained as
counsel. The pugilist with the officers and a
swarm OF reporters then adjourned to the room
Of Assistant District Attorney Fitzgerald. Sui
ivan was later taken before Judge OBrien in
supreme court chambers, and through his
counsel, Delaney Nicoll, admitted his identity
as the person called for in the writ Of extradi-
Judge O'Brien ordered that he be turned over
at once to Deputy Sheriff Childs of Mississippi.
Counsel Nicoll informed the judge that be-
fore Sullivan was arrested he had made up his
mind to go back voluntarily and surrender
himself to the authorities of the state of Mis-
sissippi, feeling confident he would be Justly
and fairly dealt with.
He said further that when Sullivan entered
into the compact of fighting Jake Kilrain he
understood 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 lighting
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 and he had
no intention of breaking the law, but he had
no alternative but to fight or become q pal
troon.
Sullivan is now wiling to go back in charge
of Deputy Sheriff Childs as soon as that officer
desires.
Assistant District Attorney McDonna then
took a receipt from the deputy sheriff for the
body of John L. sullivan, who was then handed
over to his custody by Detective Adams.
McDana then made a motion that pending
the departure of Deputy Sheriff Childs, Sulli-
van be locked up in the city prison. Counsel
NicOll said he thought there was no occasion
for sending Sullivan to prison, and Sullivan
was allowed to depart in the care of Deputy
Sheriff Childs and Detective Adams. He will
leave for Mississippi to night.
