 CHICAGO, June 19.-A special to the Daily News from Winnipeg, Man., says:
 Burke has made no confession to acknowl- edge that he is Martin Burke and that he lived in Chicago and knew Cronin. He is waiting impatiently for the arrival of the Chicago officers who will be in town to-mor row afternoon. At the request of S1perin- tendent Hubbard of Chicago, Police Chief Murray has taken the prisoner out and had him photographed. Burke objected most strongly and tried to argue the question with the chief of police all the way to the gallery. When he was being photographed Burke moved number of times. The photograph CT finally succeeded in getting shot at him and so procured an excellent likeness. Copies were mailed to Chicago police officials.
 Arrangements nave Ooou mdUo ucEo ny Chief Justice Taylor to have Burke's case ar- gued before one of the best judges on the bench. A magistrate has no jurisdiction in case of extradition, so Burke must go be- fore Queens bench judge. He is in con- stant communication with his lawyer, and is tradition. It is likely that the best legal tal- ent in the city will be employed in the inter- est of the prisoner. It has been quietly in. timated that money will be furnished in Burke's behalf Burke himself has given this impression. The intention is to bring the case to trial after the arrival of the Chi cago authorities tomorrow.
 1t was announced this afternoon that no more indictments would be returned until the jury was prepared to make final report, and that Burke had been indicted at this time in the united plea of Chief Hubbard and States Attorney Longenecker upon reps resentations that it would save time in se- curing his extradition. Chief Hubbard, who at no time entertained hopes that Maroney and Mcdonald, the New York suspects. would be identified as accomplices in the murder, pins his faith implicitly to is positive in his Identification of Bnrke's photograph as that of Frank Williams, who rented the cottage, and his wife and son admit striking points of resemblance, al- though not positive in their Identification. Martinsen, the expressman, is confident that
  the furniture from the Clark street fiat to the Carlson cottage and it Is his conviction in this respect that gives birth to the belief that the police are at last upon the right track. Justice Mahoney was before the grand iury this afternoon and testified that O'Sulli- van and Cronin were already acquainted when they met in his office at the time ot the contract for medical attendance to the for- mer's employees, and that no introduction on his part was needed, as averred by OSulli- van. Lawrence Bulkley, chairman of the committee that tried and expelled Cronin and the captain of the Clan-na-G Gael Guards was on the rack for nearly an hour.
 The information which the jury extracted from him is not regarded as affording any as- sistance to the prosecution. J. F. O'Malley, a member of the same trial committee, was also called to the stand but his memory was defective in the matter of details.
 ID. Haggerty told the jury about his al leeed conversation with Alexander Sullivan, which the latter, it is claimed, had character i2sd Dr. Cronin ss an obnoxious person, whose influence was pernicious to the Irish ' cause. Haggerty's testimony was, in the | coroner's jury. T. J. Conway told about | Cronin's frequently expressed fears for his \ life, and Frank Soanlon gave 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 Wn1te horse, put iaAeo
 to identify Burke's photograph, as of that individual. E.. G. Throcknor- | ton, the real estate man, detected 6 striking ' resemblance between Burke and the man Williams who hired the Carlson cottage. and added another link to the chain ot evidence that is surrounding the Manitoba suspect. Among the other witnesses who testified be- | fore the jury were Mrs. Conkling, Joseph J. Cronin, the murdered mans brother, and John F. Beggs.
 ! During the afternoon such witnesses as ! were able to testify to the connection Of Mar ! tin Burke, alias Williams, with the tragedy ! were taken before Justice Sweeney in the State attorneys room and required to make dispositions to be used in support of the ex- tradition proceedings.
 The special grand jutS in the Cronin case gave its first indication of results at noen to- day in the shape of an indictment against Burke, alias Martin Delaney, otherwise called Frank Williams, who is indicted. first for murder and secondly for conspiracy with Coughlin, O'Sullivan and Woodruff, for the purpose of committing murder. Application \ will by made to Governor Fifer by an officer l who is now in Springfield for requisition pa pers for the extradition of Burke. These papers properly attested will be spread be- fore the State department at Washington,
 and the Secretary of State will make the formal request to the Canadian government for the surrender and extradition of the
 suspect. It was only with reluctance that
 the grand jury this morning return
 and had his partial Identification
 by photograph been the only evidence against him it is safe to say that the requests of
 Chief Hubbard and State Attorney Lonecker
 would have been ignored and the indictment denied. The testimony of Michael Gavin of the Chicago sewer department, who had known Burke, was very conclusive, however, and it is upon his evidence that the indictment was returned. Gavin testified that he had known Burke for long time that he had frequently heard the latter boast of his friendship with P. O'Sullivan and oth CTS of the suspected parties and that on one occasion Burke had expressed his conviction that Cronin was an enemy if not traitor tc
 the Irish cause.
 An entirely new Cronin suspect is being
 looked for tonight. His name is Michael
 fox" Oooney and Burke are claimed to be
 the two men who actually killed Oronin
 Both are Clan-na-Gael men, members o1 camp No. 20. Cooney is 8 brick
 layer by trade and like Burke, came
 here from Ireland only a few years ago ! Burkes number in Camp No. 30 was 10s and Cooney's 109. Each is described as aI
 enthusiast on Irish matters and particularl,
 bitter regarding the British spy system ble, little hope was to be entertained of tn
 arrest of Cooney immediately if at all. Ther
 was feeling apparently that he had beel . given too long 6 start and was already Ii
 some safe retreat.
