on being interviewed by Q correspondent
in his cell in the presence Of his lawyer
denied etnphaticaily having made any
confessions or admissions to any person.
Collins, the Chicago detective, has positively
identified Burke and the latter also recognized
and spoke to the detective
Martinsen, the expressman, yesterday after
| noon further identified Burke, picking him
out OF dfty-two men drawn up in q line in the
Jail yard in the presence Of the crown attorney
and Burkes lawyer. Burke is now lodged in
the provincial jail. Yesterday morning he was
arraigned before Judge Balm in the extradi-
ton proceedings.
After some legal squabbling the case was adj
journed until Wednesday next. Burkes lawyer
intends 10 fight extradition to the last, but no
trouble il anticipated by the other side, the
disposition OF the authorities here being to give
every assistance possible.
How Burke was Arrested.
The police are mysteriously and unusually
secretive regarding the source of their in
formation about Burke, the Winnipeg prisoner.
But it is now definitely known that the in
formation on which Chief McRae arrested his
man came from Hancock, Mich. Who sent the
facts Is not known, but Detective Palmer ad-
united this morning that Chief Hubbard has a
man in Hancock who has done some remarka-
bly, good work on the case.
The police pooh-pooh the story that Burke
might have been sent to Winnipeg as a dummy,
and that Lawyer Trude and ex-Alderman Hell
dreth sent the information requesting his
arrest
Chief Hubbard was little angry this morn
ing when he read the story. 'It is blank fake
from beginning to end" he said, land is alb
surd. The talk about McRae arresting
about him Is also rubbish. Why
there were five men looking for him here
in Chicago before McRae ever thought of him.
Trude, Hildreth or Setback had nothing at all
to do with the arrest. have my reasons for
keeping the source Of my information q secret,
will Burke be brought back whether Mar
tinson identifies him or notY'
HE certainly viii. There are four or five
other people who can identify him"

MORE TESTIMONY BEFORE THE GRAND JURY.
Robt b. Ruck, the detective, was before the
grand jury yesterday afternoon, and was re.
quired to give his version of the story that AL
| derman John Mccormick once attempted tc
bride him to remove Cronin. This story shranl
into insignifcance under the queries of the
