! cipals or accomplices in the murder Of DR..
Crouin, visited the Tombs yesterday with
authority to see the prisoners. The sus-
poets were placed in line with a score Of
other prisoners. William II. Hatfield, who
sold the furniture afterward found in the
cottage where Cronin was murdered, was
the first TO pass along the line, but he failed
to identify either Of the men. He was fol
lowed by MartCnsCn, the CNprcssmau, Mr..
ThroCkmortou and deputy sheriff Williams
all of whom failed to identify The suspects.

alias Delaney. was arrested hcrcSundav for
completely in the Cronin case, He was
boarding the Atlantic express and had a
ticket for Liverpool, England. He gave his
name as Martin Burke. G.. W, Hubbard,
general superintendent Of the Chicago po-
lice, was Immediately communicated with,
and replied as follows: Hold Burke, alias
Delaney, who is concerned in the Cronip
murder, by all means. VIII send officer i'm

The man arrested answers the description
Of Delaney in every respect. He is about
twenty-five years old and is slight in stat
urc. He was fairly well dressed and had
the appearance of a well TO do laborcr, This
is undoubtedly the man wanted.
Burke does not look like an innocent mar
who wa outraged over arrest, but takes his
arrest as a matter of course. He arrived
here on Saturday night and put up at a sec
ond class hotel. He did not regis ter. In his
valiso was found a felt hat supposed to have
belonged to DR.. Cronin. The name inside of
the hat appeared to be blottcd ont with the
aid of chemicals. The chief Of police
sought to restore the letters, and characters
to correspond with Cronin's name were
clearly distinguished. The prisoner adj
mittcd that he has a brother in Chicago, so
that there is now little doubt that he is one
of the famous Williams brothers. Burrc's
solicitor said the intention was TO resist to
the bitter end any effort to cXlrdditc the
prisoner.
