CHICAGO, June Is S-Intarest In the Cronin
murder is now centered upon Winnipeg,
where the suspect Burke rs under arrest.
Up to 10 o'clock yesterday morning the au-
thorlties Of tho states attorney and police
departments were confident that in Moronoy
and Mcdonald they had two Of the princi
pals 70 the crime, and no sooner, however,
had tho United Press dispatches chronicled
the fact that the Chicago Witnesses had failed
to identify the suspects and that the court
had ordered their unconditional release, than
the lyro o{ the departments began upon am
other tune II was boldly stated that the
authorities had been playing bluff game
with the New Yorkers; that the picture
identified by the real estate agent, express
man and others was not that OF either of
the New York prisoners, but OF Burke, the
Winnipeg suspect; that, In short, the extra
dition of Moroney and Mcdonald had been
demanded, and the witnesses sent on 10 lden-
tify them all as part OF bluff game, de-
tectiye being all the time on the track of
Burke, and tho fact that he wns the nlysta-
rious Williams being all the time patent TO
those IN charge Of tho case In the effort TO
| justify this position II was stated with equal
gravity that the steps referred TO had been
taken simply to satisfy Luke Dillon and the
Pinkertons, both OF whom, according TO this
ingenious theory, were just as satisfied that

Outside Of those now in New York, every
witness that positively identified Moroney's

day recognized the photograph Of Burke as
that Of the "only original But In one Of
the cells Of the Central station a man named
Mulcahey is under lock and key, and It Is
reported among a sactipn Of the police TINT
this man, too, is the one sought for. As e

{ Another Tascott Case.
The appearances indicate that the authori-
ties are utterly at sea and that, as in the
Tascott case, they are willing 10 send de-
tectiyes to the farthest ends Of the continent
upon the mere suggestion that a probabl
clew may be developed
woodruff Writing More Confessions
Woodruff, alias Black, is said 70 have made
two more confessions yesterday and 70 be hard
at work upon a third The state attorney
Office is inclined 70 pin its faith to every thing
he says. The police, on the contrary, regard
him as an unmitigated liar He has full ac-
cess to the newspapers, and is allowed to talk
with whomever he may pleasa Hence the
fact that in every new confession he brings
; in names that be has never mentioned before.
Experienced detectives say that had New
York methods been adopted with him, the
true story Of his connection with the tragedy
would long ago have been known
