The Right Man at Last.

CHICAGO, June l7.-BurkeS connection
with the case is thus given by the police:
He is the man who hired Martinzen, the
expressmsn, to carry the furniture from
No. III Clark street to the Carlson cottage.
The police were on his track several days
after the finding of the body of DR.. Cronin.
They had little against him, except thath
movements were suspicious. He began to
jump around from one boarding place TO
another with remarkable frequency. De-
tective Palmer secured a photograph of the
fellow. After Martinzen, the expressman.
turned up he was shown the picture of
Burke. THAT is the very man who hired
me to take the furniture TO the Carlson cot
tage. You need not look any further. lam
positive he is the man."
For prudential reasons the police did not
arrest Burke immediately, but shadowed
him. He went TO certain parties the
names of whom the police refuse TO divulge,
the money he bought ticket for Liver
pool via the Allen line. He then boarded
train for Winnipeg, intending to go from
there to Montreal Ii was soon found that
he had taken the urain north, and the tele-
graph wires were set at work. The result
was that Chief Mckay took Burke in as
soon as he stepped from the train. Burke
is Clan-na-Gael man. He came here sew
eral weeks before the murder. He Is a hot
headed Irishman, and about twenty-six
years of age. That he knew Melville and
was friend of L. O'Sullivan has been es-
tablished almost beyond doubt. Burke is
from Hancock. Mich, the home of ex-de-
tective Dan Coughlln.
Burke is the right man." said Chief
Hubbard, this morning hut don't want
TO say anything about the affair yet. l

about the arrest, however, and that we are

ever. We shall get out extradition papers
as soon as possible and have the man here
in three or four days"
Immediately after the discovery of DIR.
Cronins body OSullivan's ice-house and
the Carlson cottage were photographed.
Standing near the ice-house was Martin
Burke, who was photographed at the same
time. This same Burke. whose alias is said
to be Delaney. is the man under arrest at
being one of the Williams brothers who
rented the Carlson cottage and the man
who hired the expressman to move the
furniture from the Clark street fat to the
cottage. This afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Jonas
Carlson and their son Charles were
brought before the grand jury. shown
the landscape photograph, and asked
If they recognized Burke as one of the men
who rented the cottage. Old man Carlson
thought he did. but his wife and son were
not so sure. The main object of the photo
graph being to give a view of the ice-house
and cottage, the photograph of the man
was necessarily imperfect and somewhat
clouded. For while great excitement
prevailed in the jury-room. and it was
suggested that Burke be indicted at once,
in order that steps might be promptly taken
for his extradItion. messenger was sent
