Mr. Lucas arrived this morning and after a general consultation it was decided to withdraw the injunction [against Mullane] for a certain monetary consideration. The attorney for the League was seen and everything tended to a quick settlement of the matter if not before the day is over at least at an early hour to-morrow morning. The only danger of a hitch in the proceedings was in the fear that the price asked may be considered too much. St. Louis Post-Dispatch April 27, 1886

...the fear that there would be a hitch in the negotiations between Mr. Lucas and the Cincinnati Captain was realized and hinged on a disagreement regarding the sum to be paid for the withdrawal of the injunction. St. Louis Post-Dispatch April 28, 1886

There is no injunction against Mullane playing ball in Ohio, and he was, therefore, put in the pitcher’s box at Cincinnati yesterday... St. Louis Post-Dispatch April 30, 1886

Mullane does not accompany his club this trip and will, therefore, not pitch in St. Louis. Mr. Lucas wanted $400 to request a withdrawal of the injunction, and the Cincinnati management thought the price too high. St. Louis Post-Dispatch June 18, 1886
