firm this Belief--No More Indictments
to be Announced Until the Grand Jury's
Final Report is Prepared.
CHICAGO, June 19.-The men sent to New
York for the purpose OF identifying, il pos
sible, the suspects, Maroney aud Mcdonald
returned to-day. Expressman Martinsor
was at once taken before the grand jury
where he identified photograph OF Burke
the man now under arrest in Winnipeg, as
that OF the man who hired him to haul fur
niture from III Clark street to the Carlson
cottage.
WINNIPEG, June 19.-The report that
Burke had confessed is q canard. Burke
has made no statement, except to deny all
completely in the Cronin murder. No one
but his lawyer is allowed to see him.
CHICAGO, June 19.-An Indictment was re:
turned by the grand jury, this morning,
against Martin Burke, alias Delaney, now
under arrest at Winnipeg, on two counts,
the first for the murder of DR.. Cronin, the
second for conspiracy in connection with
Pc Sullivan, Coughlin and Woodruff.
It was announced this afternoon, that
no more indictments would be returned un-
ill the jury was prepared to make a final
report, and that Burke was indicted only
on the united plea OF Chief Hubbard
and state attorney Longenecker who
save time in securing his extradition.
Chief Hubbard pins his faith implicitly to
the Burke theory, which, he confidently be-
lieves, will lead to the detection and convic-
tion OF every one connected with the case.
Expressman Martinsen's Identification
OF Burkes photograph gives color to the
belief that the police are at last
UPON THE RIGHT TRACK.
Justice Mahoney was before the grand
jury, this afternoon, and testified that Sui
livan and Cronin were acquainted when
they met in his office to make the contract
for medical attendance to Sullivan's en-
ployes, and that no introduction on his
part was needed as averred by Sullivan. A
number OF other witnesses were examined,
going oyer about the same ground covered
before.
DAvIrT's DEFENSE OF SULLIVAN.
CHICAGO, June 19.-Tuesday the ''Times,
sent cable message to Michael Davitt,
asking if the interview attributed to him In
regard to Alexander sullivan's alleged con-
lowing ig copy OF Mr.. Davitt's reply re-
ceived late tonight:
LONDON, June 19.-Editor OF the
Times: I am alone responsible for the
New York "World" interview OF Sunday.
/ believe the attack on Alexander Sullivan
are in the interest of the London Times.
DAvIrT.
GOOD CAUSE TO DETEsT.
A.u1uI;no 60 &ba hack Inform q t;op oh
tainable, tonight, little hope was to be en-
tertained OF the arrest of Cooney imme-
diately, il at all. There was feeling, ap-
parently, that he bad been given too long
@ start, and was already in some safe re-
treat.
States Attorney Longenecker allowed it
to be inferred that he has two witnesses
who will swear Cooney and Burke slept in
the Carlson cottage, several days prior to
the tragedy, and then that the two sus-
poets were seen leaving the cottage the ia
tai night OF May 4, at 11:30 O'Clock. Both
are said to have proceeded to q saloon in
the vicinity and drank heavily.
This information regarding him, it should
be understood, is not official, but neither
the chief Of police nor the states attorney,
it is claimed, deny that the reports given
are correct.
ANOTHER SUSPECT.
CHICAGO, June 19.-An entirely new Gro
min suspect is being looked for tonight.
His name is Michael Cooney, and he has
an old sobriquete, "The Fox" Cooney
and Burke are claimed to be the two men
who actually killed CroniD. Both are Clan
na-Gael men, members OF camp No. 20.
Cooney is brick-layer by trade, and, like
e fas
years ago.
Burke's number, in Camp 20, was 1OS
and Cooney's 100. Each is described as an
enthusiast in Irish matters and particu.
larly bitter regarding the British spy sys-
tenn, which, possibly, their persoral ex-
perjences have given them, as they con-
eidered
