 CHICAGO, June 1S.-'The arrest of Martin Burke at Winnipeg is the most important yet effected. He is deeper in the plot than any of the men now in jsil." So said Chief of Police Hubbard tonight. From other sources a summary of the evidence affecting the sus- pect, and which will be submitted to the grand jury within forty eight hours. has been obtained. A prominent North Side 1rishman will testify that but few weeks before the murder Burke remarked in public place that Le Caron should have been killed before he had chance of leaving for England, and that there was another fellow who would get it before he was many weeks older. It will be shown that Burke and ex-Detective Couphlin were frequently seen together in saloons on the North Side and that the for mer was & frequent visitor at the cottage of O'Sullivan. But the most important wit ness will be old Mrs. Philbin, Burke's aunt, and in whose house at Erie
  will be shown that he lost his position in the city sewer department last December and has since had no employment. Up to February he was short of funds, ran in debt for his board and borrowed an occasional dollar wherever he could get it. From that time on to his sudden flight from the city he had plenty of money, more in fact than when he was working. On the day of Dr. Cronin's disappearance he was absent from home. He did not return all night. Sunday morning at o'clock he put in an appearance, heavy and sleepy. He said he had slept all night at Sullivan's It will be shown that he was an active member of camp No. 20. An off cer will leave for Winnipeg as soon as the necessary papers can be procured.
 A special despatch from Winnipeg says: Chief McRea is satisfied that the prisoner Burke is no other than one of the Williams Chicago. Burke sent for his lawyer, Isaac Campbell, this morning, and after long in- terview Campbell told Chief McRea that the prisoner demanded that he be dismissed or brought before @ magistrate, and that if this was not done 8 writ of habeas corpus would E be applied for in the higher court. McRes says that even if such application is made he is satisfied that 1t will not succeed as he will be able to lay evidence before the magistrate which will convince the latter of the justice
 of the detention. The chief is in constant communication with the Chicago police, so N \ lease would be wired.
 Burke, alias Williams, told fellow pris- \ oner to-day he would resist any attempt to \ take him back to Chicago. He persists in declaring his absolute innocence, but the \ terror he evinces at the prospect of going \ back to Chicago convinces the police here he \ has much to fear. He made aome inquiries about the contents of his valise, which indi- \ cate that he is uneasy about the suspicious hat and clothes which are supposed to be Dr. Cronin's These articles are kept under lock and key and will not be shown until the Chicago officers arrive.
 Fifteen or twenty witnesses were before the grand jury this afternoon, but by far the greater number were singularly devoid of in. formation.
 The Carlsons were again called to testify \ as to certain incidents in connection with the \ renting and occupancy of the cottage, and were given a chance to identify the man
 williams who rented the cottage. They diy not appear any more certain of his identitd \ than yesterday, and the jury were 10th to \ return an indictment against Burke without
 additional evidence. In this the jurors
 failed to agree with Chief Hubbard, who ap- \ peared before the jury and urged the prompt indictment of Burke.
 Dennis O'Connor, secretary, was question | ed at length regarding Clan-na-Gael affairs \ but warmly disclaimed any knowledge of a \ secret trial of Dr. Cronin on the charge oi \ treason.
 | Charles Carlson and Mrs. Lindgren, his
 sister. were upon the stand @ few minutes \ and the latter thought the photograph o Burke resembled somewhat one of the mer \ who entered the cottage. Young Carlson
 also admitted resemblance, but failed to 6nt it striking.
