Two Different Persons.
 WINNIPEG, Man., July 8. Queens bench court was occupied yesterday in hearing the case of Martin Burke, famous Cronin murder suspect. The first half of the day was taken up in reading dispositions taken before the grand jury and justices of the peace in Chicago. All the dispositions were certi- fled to be correct by Secretary of State Blaine. Argument occurred as to the admissabllity of such evidence, but the judge ruled out all objections and the way in which he gave his decisions makes it quite clear that it Is his intention to hold Burke for extladition if there is any possibility of doing it in 8 fair and hon orable way. There were eighteen depo- sitions read in addition to u @ indict- ment. There are no dispositions of An nie Carlson and Michael Gavin, of Chi cago, who were shown photographs of Burke, and who instantly recognized the picture as being that of the suspect, Burke, alias Frank Williams.
 CHICAGO, July 3.-The state attorney has received q telegram from his as- sistant George Baker, informing him that the extradition papers in the case of Martin Burke has been accepted by the Manitoba authorities. This is good news for the police, as it was expected that Burke by his resistance would delay his extradition until tho fall Ifthere is no further. hitch in the proceedings Burke will be 0 guest of Sheriff Matson within a week.
 Bcggs, had an interview with tine state attorney regarding bail for the Senior Guardian. but Judge Longeneck.r would not listen to any proposition, and i'm pressed the lawyer with the idea that the state would keep Beggs in jail at all haz- ards.
 The Chicago authorities seem to be mainly directing their energy in the Cronin caso to efforts to induce r. O'Sul- Hvan, BeRgs, Kunze or Burke to turn in- informer, and thus enable them to hang some of the murderers, and especially to secure enough evidence to convict tho head of the conspiracy, whoever he may be. John Kunze, the confidential friend of Coughlin has been removed from his compulsory hiding-place in the East Chicago avenue lookup. to q cell in the boys department of the county jail where his fellow conspirators. O'SulIi- van and Beggs are confined. The police do not want to spoil their chance of got ting confession out of one of the trio by trusting them within tho influence of the rlngleader, Coughlin. KunZe Is a wei! educated, intelligent man, and has shrcwdly resisted all attempts to. .cxtort confession out of him. Chief Hubbard calls him ''pretty slick duck, and as smooth q liar as Woodruff"
 The attorneys for all tho arrested con- spirators visit them daily, and Coughlin s lawyer. under Q false pretense, saw Beggs in private, presumably to urge him not to confess to anything. If the senior guardian knows all tho police think ho does about the murder his confession would hang Coughlin and others twice over. It Is just coming to light that all the men arrested are lberally supplied from some secret sourco with money to pay their lawyers and defray other OK penses. This Is glarinSly apparent in the case of Martin Burke, whoso stub born fight against extradition is costing many dollars, though Burke has no money of his own.
 Merits. the milkman, was takcn to tho East Chicago avenue station and picked John Kunze out of group of dozen other prisoners as the man he saw drivo up to the Carlson cottage the night of May 4, just previous to the murder, in company with Daniel Coughlin. Merits says he saw Coughlin run up the steps and enter the cottage, while Kunze drovo away. Merits has also identified tho horse and rig as the one owned and used by OSullivan for driving purpose. w. D. James, q stenographer. also picked out Kunze as the man he frequently saw with Burke in the flat at 1l7 South Clark street.
