THAN THE PUBLIC KNOWS AGAINST HIM.
CHICAGO, June 1S-Luke Dillon was not
pleased with the visit of Hatfield. Throckmor-
ton, and Martinson to New York. He said: Il
am not satisfied of Maroney's innocence. 1t
was an easy matter for the Identification to
fall but am still of the opinion that the trials
VIII develop Maroneys connection with tne
crime, If there was any part in it by people not
residents of Chicago"
Mr.. Dillon places but little reliance on the
stories told by Woodruff, and says that he has
daily illustrations of the fellows fondness for
mutilating the truth beyond all recognition.
MIR. Dillon said he did not know Burke, who
has been arrested at Winnipeg.
A SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED
An afternoon paper says: sensational de-
velopment in the Cronin case is being prepared
by the officials and is liable at any moment to
reach that stage where use of il must be made

the surrender to the police of the names of the
principals and instigators of the crime, SO far
as he knows or has reason to suspect.
1t is said that this man cannot be held as
more than an accessory after the fact as his
knowledge of the diaboical intents of the men
for whom he, be thought did commonplace

HE Is ABOUT READY TO TALK.
1t is claimed he knows all about the renting
Of the Carlson cottage, how the men who lured
DIR. Cronin to his death knew of the the O'Sul-

sion, at least not SO foul the assassination of
Dr. Cronin, and that he had no idea that DIR.
Cronln was the victim aimed at. His confess

CHIEF HUBBARD TALKS.
Chief of Police Hubbard in speaking of
the arrest of Martin Burke in Winnipeg for
completely in the Cronin murder, said:
I'VE have good deal more evidence
against Burke than has been published The
ldentlhcatlon OF the photograph is not nearly
all. Will say that Burke was frequently heard
to say that Dr. Cronin ought TO be removed There
| Is not a shadow of a doubt in nv mind that
Martin Burke helped to kill Dr. Cronin. bat
whether the Winnipeg man is he cannot be
stated positively, though there is not much
doubt about it.
The police do not say where this information
| came from, but is stated that friend of Burke's
has ''squealed" and will accompany the officer
with the requisition to Winnipeg.
Some of Woodruff's Statements Cor
rOborated.
LONDON, ONT, June 1S.-Persons who were
acquainted with the Black family here before
they moved to Chatham, and who
lived in Chatham at the time mentioned
by Frank Woodruff who is implicated in the
murder of DIR. Cronin, and who is a son of Mrs
! Black by former husband, says that Frank
| disappeared shortly after the Fenian troubles
ended. and that he was a member of No. /
company of the twenty-fourth battalion. They
say that young Black or Woodruff had a slight
squint IN his eyes, and even then was regarded
as person of evil disposition. According to
them Woodruff's confession as reported in the
papers, so far as it relates to his connection
with the Canadian militia is in the main correct.
Looking for Man In st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 1S.-There was con-
siderable talk in Irish-American circles yes
terday over the discovery that two members of
the Chicago detective force attended the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, at the fair
grounds Sunday, and spent the entire day cir
cuiating amoug the picnickers. The same de-
tectives were abroad yesterday looking for
pointers on the Cronin case. 1t was learned
last night that a man is being looked for here
who caused the expulsion of Cronin from a St
Louis division of the Hibernian order.
Burke the Man Wanted.
WINNIPEG, MAN, June 1s.-The police author
tiles here believe that Martin Burke, alias
Delaney, who is under arrest on suspicion of
having been implicated in the Cronin murder
is the man wanted by the Chicago police.
Burke came in on the Northern Pacific rail-
road Saturday afternoon and put up
at the Russell house. His actions
at the hotel excited a remark that he was ner-
vous and agitated. His description tallies, even
to the freckles on his face. with that of the
man wanted. His ticket to Liverpool was made
out in the name of w. J. Cooper. He had a
showing that he had evidently packed
it in a hurry. He says he is day
laborer of Chicago who is desirous
of going home to Ireland. When Chief McRae
went in to get definite answer as to whether
or not he would waive extradition proceedings
he covered his face with a newspaper and an
swered In monosyllables. He. however, left no
doubt in the chiefs mind Of his intention to
fight extradition.
