Will GO Through Canada to New “ k t o Avoid Hostile Ohio-The cuampion Lost 6 1-2 Pounds While to the Ring— Muldoon’s Story of the Nashville Incident. Cmcaoo, July 12.-An Associated Press JLr on ti return from >ew Orleans U-rJav afternoon, stopped over at Louis ' • -here he learned of Sullivan’s arrest t Nashville, and at once determined to " ' uati i ibe evening train and catch ®V O . the Suliivan party that escaped the ers ef Tennessee at Nashville. While " tch in<r at one of the depots he caught •parson" Davies the well-known sorting manager of Chicago, who had in -barge Muldoon and Cleary, just as they ne re ai-cut to b ard the Monou train bound fnr Chicago. There was no time left for an interview, and the reporter decided to ac mmnanv the partv to Chicago. Upon ar “U at the outskirts of the city this morning the Muldoon party left the train tni hoarded an outgoing train for the east to escape any chance of arrest. Ills STORY OF HIS ESCAPE. In an interview with Muldoon he de tcritied his escape at Nashville as "I was sitting with Sullivan when the offi cers entered the car. They were about to place me under arrest when I said to them, ‘What do u mean? lam no prize fighter. Do I look ilka one! lam a gentleman and it is your fluty to protect me, aud not offer me insult.’ They at once abandoed me and de voted their efforts to securing the big fel low and Johnson, and here I am, a little disfigured from hard work, but still in the ring.” Muldoon was asked about the condition of K.irain. He said that Kilrain was over trained, and was not carefully handled at New Orleans for a day or two before the figtt. Had he boon properly managed, Suliivan would have had a more sovere ittk Or, the other hand, Sullivan was jut into the ring a little heavy, but in fine condition. SULLIVAN’S LOSS OF WEIGHT. Mulioon says he told Sullivan that he expected he would lose seven pounds during the fight. After the mill had been con cluded Sullivan weighed pounds less dum when he entered the ring. Muldoon told John that lie had better do something to get rid of that extra half pound. Mul ioon further slated that he was perfectly latbfled with the fight, and, unliko a majority of the sporting fraternity, be lieved that the battle would be a long one; itat he had instructed Sullivan to fight ilo-.vly, a ,ii that, he would bo satisfied if he won isi three hi urs'fighting. He a'so said hat Kilrain’s retarding tactics were at the advice of Charley Mitchell, who for some reawn wanted him to pursue his (Mitchell’s) methods in the ring. in an interview with Parson Davies he laid that during the excitement and rush for the train of the correspondents they were in terror as to Kilrain being loftalona in the ring. After the fight, the parson lays, Kilra.n’s backers, trainers, etc., did Sesert him, but that Mike Don #van, John Murphy and himself picked Kilrain up, carried tiim through the ropes md placed him in a buggy driven by Col. Rich, owner of the plantation and battle pound. Kilrain was then driven rapidly to a :ar prepared by the railroad company at the Ration and placed on Doard. Kilrain, the Person says, did no t cry in tho ring but rain, ‘Where are my friends?’ and when he was lifted into the buggy burst out crying. SULLIVAN AT CHICAGO. Prizefighter Sullivan reached Chicago at 11 o'clock this morning, having come from Indianapolis over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad. He alighted from tho train at T wenty-socond street and disap peared. The police are not looking ‘Or him. Charley Johnson, Sullivan’s oacser, was also on the train aud got off at ine same time.
