Chicago, April THE mayoralty cleo
ton yesterday resulted in decisive VIC
tory for the Democratic party. its candi-
date, Carter II. Harrison, having more
votes than all other candidates COM
bined.
At midnight available figures gave
Sears 60,000 Harrison, $4,000; Harlan.
$4,000; Hesing, $4,000.
The feature of the election was the
strength shown by Harlan. He ran
second to Harrison, and although indie
pendent, with no organization behind
him, he secured more votes than the
regular Republican candidate, Judge
Nathaniel Sears. One thing that helped
Harlan greatly was that Sears was
looked upon as being the nominee Of the
Republican machine" which has grown
unpopular in the ranks of the Republic
an party.

NEITHER WILL TALK.
Phillips and Harvey Receive News of
BurtOn's Confession.

Phillips and Harvey, the men held as ac-
completes of Burton or Emmett, We're
lounging about the south corridor of the
jail at 7:30 o'clock last night. They had
not yet heard of the Burton confession.
Harvey pressed his keen face to the bars
and listened to the reporters story. Phil
lips, with apparent Indifference, walked up
and down the corridor.
There isn't a thing I've got to say, re
marked Harvey when the reporter had fin
ished the details of the Burton confession.
Phillips paid no attention to the conversa-
ton until called. Then he came up TO the
bars, but declined to talk about the af
fair. He did not resume his uneasy saun-
tering in the corridor. but remained at Har-
Veys side. Both men again refused to talk
about the murder Finally the reporter
drew a circular containing picture of Bur
ton, with the Bertillon measurements, from
his pocket. The picture was taken in the
Ohio penitentiary, where Burton claims to
have known Harvey in 1894. The card con-
tanned these words in black type at the top:
WANTED, for murder of a city fireman,
James Burton, alias James Emmett"
Harvey looked intently at the picture and
carefully read the wording. Phillips showed
no interest in it, and scarcely glanced at
the circular If there was anything famil
lar to Harvey about the features of Bur
ton he did not indicate it by a change of
countenance.
do you recognize that picture?' the re-
porter asked Harvey. He passed the circu-
lar back through the bars.
Il can't talk TO YOU, was his comment.
Then he added, You mustn't blame us for
refusing to talk. We have been instructed
not to talk, and besides, you know, the
newspapers have already hurt our case bad
enough"

criminal Identification is invaluable and de-
clares that but for it Burton would PROB
ably have escaped. BY this system he was
enabled to prepare about the most complete
circular ever got out for this purpose. He
he attended the meeting of police superin-
tendents. and Pinkerton the Chicago detec-
tive, said if anything would lead TO the
mans apprehension ii ought to be that cir
cular. The police are inclined TO believe
that neither Burton, Emmett nor Hennes-
sey is the mans real name. He is about
thirty years old He was first sent to the
Ohio Penitentiary, when he was but nine
teen years old. He claims to be a tailor.
His accomplces Harvey and Phillips. are
both young men, each apparently about
twenty-five years of age.
