INTRUsTED.
WINSIPEa, MAN, June 20.-How Burke came
to be arrested is a mystery. Chief Of Police
McRae is uncommunicative on the subject. A
number Of stories have been published. some
of them giving the credit for the arrest of
Burke to the Chicago police and some to the
police of Winnipeg. Chief McRae refuses
either to deny or affirm any rumors. The
chief, however, finally did say that the first he
heard from Chicago was after he had wired a
description Of Burke to Chief Hubbard.
Burke Not known I'm Hancock.
HoUGHToN, MIcH., June 20.-The town OF
Hancock is not little excited over the report
that another of the men concerned in the
Cronin murder came from there. Martin
Burke or Delaney, if he was in Hancock or
the surrounding towns. must have been known
by another name. As careful a search could
be made in day failed to find any one who
knew anything about such man.
Father Dorney to be Transferred.
CHICAGO, June 20.-It is stated on semi-off-
cial authority that Father Maurice J. Dorney
willbe transferred from the scene of his labors
in the Town of Lake to a region of more pas
toral simplicity. If he declines 10 accept the
transfer he may be deprived of his frock.
A COMPANION OF coUGHLIS ARRESTED.
named Kuhn, who is familiarly known as
"Coonsey," to make him explain his close in
timacy with Dan Coughlin during the months
of March and April He was the ex-detective s
constant companion and accompanied him TO
Peoria, where Coughlin made threats against
DR.. Cronin. Chief Hubbard said last night
that he did not think Kuhn was a participant
in the murder, but he thought that, owing 10
his intimate association with Coughlin for such
a long period of time. he might be able TO tell
more about the eX-detectiye than anybody
knows now.
MUCH IMPORTANCE IS ATTACHED BY THE POLICE
to the Identification of Burke by Officer Collins,
who should arrive at Winnipeg at noon to-day.
If Burke proves TO be the wrong man il is
doubtful if the murderers of Or. Cronin will
ever be taken. All that Chief Hubbard wants
is the identification. He is positive that the
right Martin Burke is one of the murderers
that his confidence gives rise to the suspicion
that he has overwhelming proof OF
the fellows guilt and that he has not al
lowed himself or his subordinates 20 give to
the public half the information in his posses
sion. If Officer Collins says that the man
under arrest at Winnipeg is the Martin Burke
We want" said the chief, "then he is one OF
| the murderers."
BURKE REVEALED THE PLOT.
A story was CLEANED at police headquarters
this morning which indicates that Chief Hub.
bard is quite safe in his bold assertion. The
| story is to the effect that the man has been
| found who declares that Burke revealed part OF
| the plot to him in endeavoring to induce him
/ to become a party to it. Burke was
| most unfortunate selection On the part
of the plotters, as he used every cent he could
get to procure liquor. He, knowing a great
| many tough" people. was commissioned tC
! find a man who would take certain share in
/ the murder. Burke was cautioned. as he valued
| his life, not to reveal any of the
| plot to the fellow, but simply hire
| MN to do certain amount
OF the work, which would be of such a charac.
/ ter that he would not know that a crime was to
! be committed. Burke, being already in the plot
and knowing the grip he had on his fellow-con-
| spirators, demanded money. OF course
he got it, and then he loaded up
with liquor and went after his
man, and in his maudlin condition told all
about the scheme to take DIR. Cronins life.
The plot as Burke gave il to the man who has
given it to the police, was totally different to
that which was carried out.
