New Suspect Being Looked for.

| special dispatch from Winnipeg last nigh
says: Burke has made no confession
except his acknowledgment that his name ii
Martin Burke, and that he lived in Chicago snd
knew Cronin. He is waiting patiently for TIE
| arrival Of the Chicago officers, who will be il
| town tomorrow afternoon. At the request Of
Superintendent Hubbard, Of Chicago, Chief Of
Police Murray took the prisoner out and had
him photographed. Burke objected most
strongly and tried to argue the question with
the chief all the way to the gallery. When
he was being photographed Burke moved a
number Of times. The photographer finally
succeeded in getting shot at him and so pro-
cured an excellent likeness. Copies were mailed
to Chicago police headquarters.
Arrangements have been made here by
Chief Justice Taylor to have Burke's case ar
gued before one of the best judges on the
bench. magistrate has no jurisdiction in a
case of extradl.ion. so Burke must go before a
queens bench judge. He is in constant COM
munication with his lawyer and is preparing to
fight the case and to resist extradition. It is
likely that the best legal talent in the city will
be employed IL the interest of the prisoner.
IL has been quietly intimated that money will
be furnished in Burke's behalf. Burke HIM
self has given this impression. The intention
is to bring the to trial after the arrival of
the Chicago authorities"
NEW SUSPECT.
In Chicago last night an entirely new suspect
was being looked for. His name is Michael
Cooney, but he is better known by the soubri-
quet of THE Fox" Cooney and Burke are
said to be the two men who actually killed
CrOnin. Both are Clan-na-Gael men. members
of camp 20. Cooney is a bricklayer, and. like
Burke, came here from Ireland only few years
ago. Burke's number in Camp 20 was 108, and
Cooneys 109. Each is described as an enthusiast
on Irish matters, and particularly bitter re-
garding the British spy system, which possibly
their personal experience had given them
as they considered. good cause to detest Ac-
cording to the best information obtainable.
little hope was to be entertained of the arrest
of Cooney Immediately, if at all There was a
feeling apparently be had been given too long
a start and was already in some safe retreat
States Attorney Longnecker allowed it to be
inferred that he has two witnesses who will
swear that Cooney and Burke slept in the Carl
son cottage several days prior to the tragedy,
and even that the two suspects were seen leav-
ing the cottage the fatal night Of May 4, at
1l:30 p. m.
Labouchere'sFaithin AlexanderSullivan
A London dispatch says: Mr.. Labouchere,
writing in Truth about the charges against
Alexander Sullivan, says that everything that
the Times, which has an agent and banking
account in Chicago. can do to prejudice the
public against Mr.. Sullivan will be effectively
done; first, because Mr.. Sullivan advised
Patrick Egan respecting information sent to
England regarding Parnel forgeries, and
second, because he selected Father Dornay to
convey across the ocean the documents which
smashed the Times case. MIR. Labouchere says
the assertion that Mr.. Sullivan misapplied
funds intrusted to him is known to be abso-
lutely untrue. He thinks it probable that these
charges have been brought against Mr.. Sui
Ivan IN order to compel the production Of the

forgeries were published in order to obtain an
inquiry into the Irish leagues finances.
