BURKE TO BE EXTRADITED.
He Is Committed to Jail Pending Fur
Their Proceedings.

The arguments in the Burke case were re-
sumed at Winnipeg yesterday. The defense
| Messrs. Perdue and Campbell, insisted that
the evidence did not connect the prisoner in
any way with the murder of DIR. Cronin; tina,
it did not prove that Cronin was murdered in
the Carlson cottage; that Burke knew Cronin
or that he had any malice against him.
The prosecution reviewed the evidence and
justify extradition.
Judge Baine delivered judgment immedi-
| ately. Speaking of the dispositions before the
Chicago grand jury, to which objection had
been made by counsel for the defense, he said
ut only remains for me to consider if the evil
| dence in these dispositions and from witnesses
is sufficient to justify me in committing the
prisoner for extradition. There is no doubt
but that the crime is within the meaning of
the extradition act" Here the judge read the
provisions of the act Il have in this matter
was brought before me, sitting as a magistrate
or justice of the peace. charged with an in
| dictable offense committed in Canada
The judge then reviewed the evidence and
| said that it to him supplied such a strong pre-
sumption of guilt that he could not take upon
himself the responsibility of setting Burke
free, as he would do if he did not commit He,
| therefore, in the terms of the act committed
Burke to the nearest Jail to await extradtion,
the prisoner standing up while the commitment
was pronounced. The judge explained that
he had given judgment immediately as the
full court was now sitting and the question
could be brought before them Immediately on
application for a writ of habeas corpus.
BEGGs MAKES ANOTHER TRIAL FOR RELEASE
After the denial of a writ of habeas corpus in
the case of John F. Beggs yesterday by Judge
Tuley of Chicago, as published in THE STAR,
Beggs' attorney went before Judge Horton in
the criminal court and made formal application
that his client be admitted to bail They al
legged that there was no evidence against him;
that the defendant was innocent and that he
was entitled to bail and able to furnish it.
1t Is not thought that this action will be any
more successful than were the similar proceed
ings before Judge Tuley. The state attorney
reiterated again the statement that he would
oppose the motion to admit Beggs to bail to the
utmost.
He is not entitled to bail. said Judge Long
necker, land We do not intend he shall get it.
We have evidence showing that the proof is
evident and the presumption great of Beggs'
compncity In the crime, and, If necessary, we
Will show it to the court"
State Attorney Longenecker did not appear
to be much surprised at the glad tiding from
winnipeg, which reached him this afternoon al
2;3e O. clock In the shape Of the following terse
telegram:

GEORGE A II. BAKER.
BURKE WILL RESIST
''Yes, it's good news" said the Judge Though
nothing more than 1 expected. / don't see
how it could be otherwise"
"How soon will you be able to get Burke
here?'
Probably not for about three weeks vet.
You see he is allowed fifteen days in which to
appeal"
DO you think he will resist further?"
"ies; suppose he will. 1t is not him SO
much as those back OF him. Evidently the de.
