Arrested at Winnipeg.

Dispatches from Chicago during the
week do not change the situation
much regarding the deplorable Cronin
murder. From Winnipeg, however,
comes information of the arrest of one
Martin Burke in that city, who is be-
lieved to be one OF the Williams broth
els who rented the cottage where DIR.
Cronin was murdered. Both the police
in Chicago and Winnipeg are confident
that such is the case, as seen in the fol-
lowing dispatches to the associated
press:
WINNIPEG, Man. June 19.-The man
giving the name Of Martin Burke, VINO
was arrested by Chief McRae Sunday
on suspicion of being concerned in the
murder of DR.. Cronin, in Chicago, has
been remanded until Saturday to await
the arrival of officers from Chicago to
identify him. Burke denies being in
any way connected with the crime OF
which he is accused. Since his arrest
Burke has not been seen by any one ex-
cepS his attorney and police officials,
except for the few minutes he was be
fore the police magistrate on Monday.
It is not customary III Canada for po-
lice officers to allow persons IN their
custody to be interviewed except with
the consent of the prisoner Burke de-
clines, on advice Of his lawyer, to be
seen or interviewed, and the police
have carefully protected him. When
drst taken into custody Burke was ner~
yous, but has since becon.e quite COM
posed. Chicago officials believe from
the description given of the prisoner
that he is Martin Delaney. alias Frank
Williams. Taking all the cIrcum-
stances into account, the beliet is be-
coming general here that Burke is the
right man Should the prisoner here
prove to be the man he is to be, Che
Cronin mystery will soon be solved,
and the honors due in this respect
should belong mainly to Chief Rea. OF
