Indictment says that Burke did unlawfully,
wilfully and with malice aforethought to-
gether with other persons to the jury un-
known intlict divers wounds, cuts, bruises
and contusions on the person of Dr. Patrick
H. Cronin which did result in his death. In
the conspiracy count the same words are
used and the words 'conspire with un-
known persons to inflict" are added.
Sheriff Matson was at the Criminal Court
building ready to take charge of the capias,
and will probably send one of his deputies
to Winnipeg to return with Burke.
1t is officially given out that no more in
dictments will be returned before the final
report is ready. The Indictment against
Burke was brought into court at the earn

that 1t would take two weeks for the special

THOSE TELEGRAMs
The telegrams to Sullivan produced by
the Western Union Telegraph Company in
obedience to an order OF the court, proved
very disappointing to the authori-
ties. There were some twenty mes
sages produced by the telegraph company,
but they were all addressed to or sent by
Alexander Sullivan. There was not one that
could be construed in any way as having
been intended for Maroney or Cough in,
and none were found which were sent by
or to them under their proper names
Neither was theIe record found where
messages had been delivered to the resi-
dence of either of them under possible
alias. OF the kilograms addressed to
Sullivan most of them are said to
have been of business nature; q
few were cablegrams from and to his wife
In Europe, and not n few were messages Of
coincidence with him in his trouble sent by
sympathizing friends. There are one or two
OF the messages which may require fuller
explanation than mere reading of them
discloses, but it is said that so far there

LABoUCHERE IN SULLIyANS DEFENSE.
LONDON, June 2O.-Mr. Labouchere, writ
ing in Truth about the charges against AL
exander Sullivan, says that every thing that
the Times (Which has an agent and bank
ing account in Chlcago) can do to prejudice
the public against Mr.. Sullivan will be eff
fectually done; first, because MI. Sullivan
advised Patrick Egan respecting in
formation sent to England regarding
the Parnel forgerics; and, second, because
he selected Father Dorney to con"ey across
the ocean the documents which smashed
the Times case. Mr.. Labouchere says the
assertion that Mr., Sullivan misapplied
funds intrusted to him is known to be alb
solutely false. He thinks it probable that
these charges have been brought against
Mr.. Sullivan in order to compel the pro-
ductlon of the books of the American
League, just as the forgeries were pub
lished, in order to obtain an inquiry into the
Irish League finances.
