The chief of police allowed a friend of Dr Cronin t look at Burke this morning presumably for identification Chief of Police Hubbard in company with several of Dr Cronins friends went down t see Burke this afternoon for the purpose of identification by friends Hub bard carried him a letter which had been in the North side postoflice some time for Burke I was from his mother in Iowa The prisoner opened the letter and perused it When he had finished it he threw himself him-self on the floor of his cell and cried like a child Seeing his griefstricken condition it was decided to postpone the confrontation confronta-tion of the witness until another time An afternoon paper says that Chief Mc Crea of the Winnepcg police will be a witness wit-ness at the trial that he won Burkes con idence during the lattrs sojourn in Winnepeg and that the prisoner made important im-portant admissions to him The authorities author-ities hero are confident that Burke will eventual confess States Attorney Long necker said I do not think ho can hold out against the unavoidable prospect of execution for murder 1 think he will confess I am certain that Burke is one of the men who actually killed Cronin and nothing in the world can save him from the word gallows except ex-cept a juror who would not hang anybody with all the evidence we pave against Burke There is far more than has been published and there is no escape for him and he will drag down the others with him also We have evidence that cannot be controverted I seems that the murder of Cronin is not the first crime of that nature with

made an unexpected declaration in reply to the writ that Burke was not in the custody of Chief Hubbard at all Burke continued Hutchinson was in the hands of Officer Collins who had him on a requisition and who was acting as messenger for the President Presi-dent of the United States A whispered consultation her took place between Senator Kennedy and Lawyer Forest attorney for Coughlin who was present in the court room Kennedy then demurred to the return on the ground that it was evasive When applied to yesterday Hubbard had said Burke was in his cus tody and that the prisoner would be kept secluded A wrangle between the lawyers in the court ensued which was finally cut short by Judge Baker saying There is no aoubt that Burke is entitled to see his attorney and that Kennedy has a right to talk with his client As for the custody of the prisoner there can be no doubt that it lies in the hands of the person holding the writ of extradition Burkes lawyer then drew up a new peti tion asking that a writ of habeas corpus be directed to Officer Collins on the ground that that officer was bound under his commission com-mission as messenger to bring Burke into Illinois and to turn him over to the proper authorities This ho had not done but placed him in the police station of the city of Chicago under the jurisdiction of Chief Hubbard The petition charges that Hubbard was heard

world he believes will unite in protecting pro-tecting them from the slaughter and wan ton destruction whicH has been made among the young seals of recent years I is now stated on reliable authority
