order for his ~exttadition. He will then be
given fifteen days in with to appeal, and if

will probably take at least o month
to secure Burke's extradiion should he not
confess in the mean tims The source of
Chief Mcsae's information on which Burke
was arrested is mistifylnga great many peo-
pie here. The chief says lie has an object in
maintaining secrecy at present, and when
the proper time comes he will give publicity
to all that he knows abott the matter. He
says it is not in his provine to divulge his
source Of information, nut he has tele-
graphed complete details + Chief Hubbard
OF Chicago. who can likely make some fur.
ther use of them in voting up the case
against the Cronin murderes.
