THEY HAVE HIM NOU.
Chicago Police Claim to Have Ar
 rested One of Cronin'S SlayerS.
Hancock. Mich., and SO Also h De- tective CouRhlin Chief Hubbard Sure.

l tective CoughIin Chief Hubbard CHICAGO, June 1S.-The police officials
 are in benignant frame of mind just 1 now and almost forget their usual taci- l turnity.
 l The reason for this is that they be-
 lieve they have at last "corralled' one
 of the actual participants in the murder | of Dr. Cronin
 Martin Burke, alias Delaney, who has
 been arrested at Winnipeg, Man., is the
 man. He is one of the mysterious evil
 Hams brothers" who bought the furni-
 ture at Revells, rented the rooms at IF | Clark street, and leased the Carlson cot
 tage, and undoubtedly, the police say,
 one of the men who so cruelty butchered | Dr. Cronin.
 l The police are In possession of facts
 that prove Burke is Frank Williams" The evidence has been in the chiefs
 hands for some time, but Burkes dodg-
 ing movements prevented his arrest until | caught in Winnipeg.
 Detective Palmer was highly elated
 when he heard of the arrest of Burke. l "Do you place much importance in the 1 arrest of Eurke?" he was asked "Well, l should say 1 do," replied the
 officer. "He is one of the assassins and one of the Williams DrOthCrS." 1 ''Did you knew that he was one of the l murderers before he left the city?" "Ies, sir. We havc been looking for l him for long time. We know that he | Is one Of the men and would have ar l rested him before he left the city only l he learned that he was being watched l and suddenly departed. We learned the | route he took, however, and the man, as you see, is now in custody" T bard and himself are in possession of l facts to prove that the man is one of the principals and to also show his connec- | tiOn with others implicated in the crime. He said: " Burke we know is one of the principals in the brutal murder. He | Is from Hancock, Mich., and is the man who hired the congressman to carry furni- ] ture from No. 17 Clark street to the Carl soa cottage. He is also Clan-na-Gael man.
 "Burke Is the right man, said Chief Hubbard, "but I don't want to say any, thing about the affair yet. I can tell you
 that am very much pleased about the arrest, however, and that we are nearer to unravelling the mystery than ever We shall get out eXtradition papers as soon as possible, and have the man here In three or four days.
 That Burke is a Clan-na-G man and Is from Hancock, Mich, makes the chain of clrcumstantial evidence stronger and stronger against Coughlin. The ex-de- tective Is from Hancock, and 1t was in that town that John F. Beggs made a political speech on the invitation of Coughlin-at least that is what MT. Becgs
 said he went there for.
 It Is said that the chief first learned of
 Burke's connection with the crime by examining the house of Dan Coughlin ana finding Burke's name attached to certain letters.
 Carlson has identified the picture of
 Martin Burke. which Capt. Schuettler
 showed the grand jury as one of the Williams brothers who rented the cottage
 where pr. Cronin was killed. The police, besides being in possession
 of facts which mplicate Burke have a photograph of the assassin. They never
 had a likeness of Moroney, and none was
 ever shown to Salesman Hatfield, Throck-
 morton, the real estate man, or to Mar
 t1nsen, the eXpressman but it was the
 picture of Burke that the three men looked at. ' Inc chief, in order to observe as much
 secresy as possible in the case of Burke gave these witnesses to understand that
 1t was J. J. Moroney's photograph they
 were looking at, while all the time it was
 Burke's.
 Throckmorton, on being shown tho
 picture, said that he was positive that it was the man. He had rented the rooms to the fellow. The eNpressman was even more emphatic in his declaration that the person represented in the picture was the one who engaged him to carry
 the furniture from IF Clark street to the Carlson cottage. On being shown the picture he exclaimed:
 "That Is the man! would know him among thousand"
 Hatfield would not stat positively, but said hat Burke,s likeness bore a strong resemblance to the man who
 bought the furniture from him. NEW YORK, June 1S.-The three Chi cago witnesses-William E. Hatfield, E. G. Throckmorton ane Hakam Martinscn who came to this city to See if they could identify Moroney and Mcdonald, the two prisoners held under suspicion of complicity in the Cronin murder in Chi cago, were brought to the tombs prison yesterday and confronted with the ac- cused, and failed to identify them. Two of these witnesses, Hatfield and Ihrockmorton, went away after being | allowed to look at a rowiof eighteen pris- | oners, filled with the idea that they had | not had a fair chance to identify any of | them, and freely said so. Martinsen was | not expected to identify either Moroney | or Mcdonald, and no one can tell why
 the Chicago police sent him here. snaith May Sue New York
