BURKE IS THE MAN.
Nartinsen, the EXpressman, Has Posi-
 lively Identified Him.
pegs Jail Cooney still Bahies Suspicious.

WINNIPEG. Man, Juno 22.-There Is no longer any doubt that Martin Burke was one of the principal actors in the Cronin tragedy. He has been identified by Expressman Martinsen as we'll as by Detective Collins. One of the local po- lice officers who was present when Burke was taken into the police station by Chief McRac informed a reporter that the prisoner acted in most guilty manner. He seemed completely "rattled," all pluck was knocked out of him, and he was ready to make clean breast of all he knew. He told the officer when asked his name that it was Martin Burke and that he was sometimes called Delaney.
 In accordance with the custom In British territory, Chief McRao told him when he took him in charge that any ad- mission he might make could be used In evidence against him, but so completely was Burke knocked out by the arrest that he seemed anxious to tell every thing he knew, although he refuses to make any statement for the present. There is no doubt that Burke made some important admissions to the chief when first arrested. Shrewd judges of human nature who saw Burke in the court room and the officers who have watched him say that he is just the sort of fellow to squeal, and they predict he will soon tell the whole story. Detec- tive Collins believes if he would make a confession 1t would result in the clearing up of the entire mystery.
 The court of queens bench room was crowded, scores of Winnipegers being anxious to see the suspect. He was led into the court room by MT. Lawler, gov ernor of the jail, who escorted him to the felons dock, in which he was locked He was very nervous tand glanced furtively about from one officer to tho other then at the lawyers and lastly at Judge Bain. The prisoner, who was seated at first, stood up while the information, sworn to by Collins, was read by the clerk. Burke was, of course, not allowed to plead. After the information was read MT. Howell, on behalf of the prosecution, asked the judge to remand the prisoner for one week. He pointed out that couple of witnesses from Chicago were coming and that 1t would take some time to secure other evidence and prepare the case so that no delay might occur when the case was once begun, although he had Detective Collins here and would have another witness to-morrow still they might not be enough for the purpose of extradition, and in the long run mat ters would progress just as quickly if an
