AN IMPORTANT "SUSPECT."

Martin Burke's Photograph Identified by the Carlsons.

Martin Burke, the young Irishman under arrest at Winnipeg as one of the murderers of Dr. Cronin, is perhaps the most important "suspect" who has yet been placed under lock and key. His photograph has been identified by the Carlsons at Chicago as Frank Williams, the stranger who rented the cottage on North Ashland avenue, and Hakan Mortenson, the expressman, as the man who employed him to carry the furniture from the flat at 117 South Clark street to the cottage.
