entertained hopes that MOrOney ana Nc
Donald. the New York suspects. would
be identified as accOmpliceS in the muir
der. pins his faith implicitly to
the Burke theory. His efforts to secure
an indictment last evening were re-
newed by personal plea to the jury
this morning, and it is chiefly to Mr..
Hubbard's earnest instances that an in
dictment now rests over Martin Burke.
Upon Burke'S known connection with
the case. the chief has established
theory which he confidently believes
will lead to the detection and
CONVICTION OF EVERY CONsPIRAToR
to the murder. Old man Carlson is
positive in his Identification of Burke'S
photograph as that of Frank Williams
who rented the cottage; and his wife
and son admit striking points of re-
Semblance, although not positive in
their identification. Martinson, the
eXpreSSman, is confident that Burke
is the man who hired him to remove
the furniture from the Clark street
Hat to the Carlson cottage, and 1t is his
conviction in this respect that gives
birth to the belief that the police are at
last on the right track. Justice Mahoney
was before the grand jury this after
noon and testified that O'Sullivan and
Cronin were already acquainted
when they met in his Office at the
time of the contract for medical attend
ance to the formers employees, and that
no Introduction OH his part was needed,
as averred by O'Sullivan. EX-Alder-
man Ballard testified that he was never
intimately acquainted with either Cough
lin or Dan Brown, and that neither of
these gentlemen was appointed OH the
police force at his special request.
Brown is the man who some years ago
preferred the charges against Cronln,
for which he was expelled from the
Clan-na-Gael. and Ballard testified that
while he might have inadvertently
signed the petitions of both COughlin
and Brown. his Endorsement was not
of that earnest nature that would war
rant the credit of either of these ap-
pointments to himself. Lawrence
Buckley, chairman OF the committee
that tried and expelled Cronin. and cap
tain OF the Cian-na-Gael guards. was on
the rack for nearly an hour. The infor-
nation which the jury extracted from
him is not regarded as atfording
any assistance to the prosecution.
j. F. O'Malley, member of the same
trial committee, was also called to the
stand. but his memory was defective in
the matter of details, although he re-
iterated his willingness and desire to
assist the ends of justice in any way in
his power. J. j. Haggefty told the jury
about his alleged conversation with Alex
ander Sullivan. in which the latter, it is
claimed, had characterized DR.. Cronin
as an obnoxious person whose influence
was perniciOuS to the Irish cause. Hag-
gerty's testimony was, in the main.
repetition of his story before the coro-
ner's jury. L. J. Conway told about
Cronin's frequently expressed fears for
his life, and Frank Scanlan gave a
description of the man who drove
up for Cronin on the night of the
tragedy. Napier Moreland, Dinan's
hostler. also described the man who
hired the white horse, but failed to
identify Burke's photograph as of that
individual. E. G. Throckmorton. the
real estate man. detected striking re-
semblance between Burke and the man
Williams who hired the Carlson cot
tage. and added
ANOTHER LINK TO THE CHAIN
of evidence that is surrounding the
Manitoba suspect. Among the other
witnesses who testified before the jury
were the following: Mrs. Conklin.
Joseph j. Cronin, the murdered mans
brother, and John F. Beggs. All
these persons have testified be-
fore, and their evidence is we'll
known. Robert Warren, board
of trade man, told what little
he knew of Alexander Sulivan's opera
tions on the board of trade. During the
afternoon such witnesses as were able
to testify to the connection of Martin
Burke, alias Williams, with the tragedy
were taken before Justice Sweeny in
the states attorneys room, and re-
quired to make deposition to be used in
support of the eXtradition proceedings.
