CHICAGO, June 26.-The Grand Jury
resumed inquiry into the Cronin case
this morning. The first witness called
was DR.. ]. P. Cass, who testified that
Couphlin and Burke tried to hire his
horse shortly before the murder for all
night service. The Doctor identified the
picture of Burke as that Of Coughlin's
companion. Patrick O'Brien, saloon
keeper; J. B. Bell, of the Western Union,
and representatives of the Postal Tele-
graph Company, were also called as
witnesses.
OFFICIAL NOTICE SERVED.
OTTAWA, June 26.-The Department
of Justice has received from Justice Balm,
of Winnipeg, official notice of the fact
that a warrant has been issued for the
arrest of Martin Burke, alias w. j..
Cooper, for the murder of DR.. Cronin.
No further proceedings will be taken in
the department until Burke is committed
for extradition.
BURKE ARRAIGNED.
WINNIPEG, June 26.-Martin Burke,
the Cronin suspect, was arraigned this
morning. Counsel on behalf of the United
States said they we're not ready with all
their evidence, but would present some.
Officer Collins, of Chicago, testified as to
Cronin's death. He identified Burke as
a man wanted for completely in the
crime. Officer McKennan, of the Cana
dian police, testified as to the nervous
actions of the prisoner previous to his
arrest. Burke was then remanded until
Tuesday.
CHICAGo, June 26.-John E. Beggs,
Senior Guardian of Camp 20, Clan Ma
Gael, is under arrest. The police have
kept the arrest secret, and tonight re-
fused to tell where Beggs was immured.
Beggs' arrival at the Grand Jury room
today in the police patrol wagon, was the
first intimation that he had been taken
into custody. The prisoner is well-to-
do lawyer, and has had some prominence
as a politician. He was certainly at
liberty laet evening. The impression
gained ground that he was arrested at
night on orders from States Attorney
Longenecker, whose theory that the
committee of Camp 20 tried and con-
demned DIR. Cronin as a spy, has
become the principal phase Of the inves-
tigation. The indications were that
Beggs' replies to the interrogatories
in the grand jury room did not
throw any light on the theory that camp
20 removed" DR.. Cronin as spy.
When the seinor guardian came out Of
the juryroom he was quickly taken off
again in the patrol wagon under guard.
Chief Hubbard, tonight, when impor-
tuned by newspaper man who desired
to interview the prisoner, said
that Beggs did not wish to be
seen. On this foundation, rumors
spread that Beggs was the Camp 20 in
former whom the authorities have init
mated they were in communication with.
The idea that Beggs had turned informer
was not, however, credited to any wide
extent.
AFTER THAT FOX CooNEY.
CHICAGO, June ga dispatch from
Chillicothe, Mo-, says that Cooney, one
of the alleged murderers of CroDin, is
said to be working on farm in this
county. A detective who has been here

AN UNFoUNDED RUMoR.
ROME, June 26.-The story that DIR.
Persino, in his report to the Pope on the
result of his Investigations of Irish af.
fairs, had asserted that the Irish Nation
alists had formed plot to kill him if
he returned to Ireland, is pronounced
as purely imaginary. 1t is stated that
the Pope has appointed Mr.. Persino
Secretary of the Propaganda on Oriental
rites, and that this is the real reason why
