 Ivan Oaers to Make a Clean Breast. CHICAGO, June 2O.-John R. Walsh, presi- deas of the Chicago National bank, who was receiver for Rosenfeld & O., brokers, after the failure of that firm in 1887, was before the jury for nearly an hour explaining the operations of Sullivan on the board of trade in 1S82-83 as indicated by the accounts of of the defunct firm. It was reported that so far as Mir. Walshs knowledge extended MT. Sullivan experienced no serious loss in his dealings with Rosenfeld & Co. J. F. O'Mal- ley, one of the members of the trial commit tee that expelled Cronin from camp No. 5 for treason, was on the rack for consider able time, and was followed by Buckley, chairman of the committee. The latter re- turned evasive answers. Burke is under- stood to have been member of Clan na-Gael guard as captain. Fred N. Allen of Revels employees, and the man who took the furni' ture from the store to the Clark street flat, gave a minute description of the purchasers of the furniture and thought Burke's photo graph bore considerable resemblance. Dr. Egbert, assistant county physician, testified to the nature of the wounds upon Dr. Cronin's head, and described the probable blunt character of the weapon that must have produced them. Mrs. T. J. Conklin and Charles Carlson were both on the stand again and were followed by John Stevens, warden of the county hospital. Stevens came to tell what he knew about McDavitt and other sus- poets upon whom the police have had their eyes for some time and who are or recently were employees of the hospital under MT. Stephens.
 | The jury will doubtless render it's final re- ! port on the Cronin Saturday and pro- ceed to the consideration of other business. The dispositions for the extradition of Burke were completed this evening. Tonight Assistant Attorney Glen started ! for Springfield with the voluminous docu- ments upon which will be based the demand ! for the extradition of Martin Burke at Winni- | peg Saturday Assistant States Attorney Baker will probably take the paper to Wash I ington. They must be signed by the presi- ! dent and Secretary Blaine before they go to Winnipeg. It is reported that P. O'Sullivan the ice- man, who is in jail for complicity in the Cronin murder, has offered to make clean breast of everything he knows. He asked l for a conference with the States attorney | and that official, without promises, gave O'Sullivan to understand that penitentiary \ was a more comfortable place than the gal. lows, and if any accused person had a choice | in such matters the earlier it was evincec
 the better. Tonight the iceman was in that
 part of the jail usually set apart for informers
 WINNIPEG, Jue 20.-Ofhcer John M. Col
