Tho ictition set forth that Chief Hubbard had charge of Burko and had contrary to law secreted his prisoner instead of convoying him to the county jail i whero persons undor indictment should bo brought and confined. Mr. Kennedy said I he hnd asked Chief Hubbard to sco his cli- ent and that Burko bo taken to jail. Both requests hud been refused. Judge Baker at once issued a writ commanding Chief Hub- I bard to bring Burko into court at p.

m. At that hour the chief appeared with Status Attorney Locgenocker and Corporation Con i isp I Hutchinson. Without nny preliminary whatever Mr. 1 Hutchinson made the explanation in reply to tho writ that Burko was not in tho hands of Chief Hubbard at all. "Burke," continued Mr.

Hutchinson, "is in the hands of Officer Collins who had him on a requisition nnd who is acting as a messenger for tho president of the t'uiten States." Kennedy demurod to tho return on the ground that it was evasive. Judge Baker said: "There in no doubt that Burko is entitled to see his attorney aud that Mr. Kennedy lias the right to talk to his client. As for the custody of the prisoner thero can bo no doubt that it, lies in the hands of tho person holding the writ of extradition." Burke's law.erthen drew up a now petition asking that writ of habeas corpus bo directed to Officer Collins on tho ground that the otllcer was bound under his commission as messenger, to bring Burke into Illinois nnd to turn him over to the proper authorities. This ho had not done, but had placed him in a police station of Chicago under the jurisdiction of Chief Hubbard.

Tho petition charges that Hubbard was heard to say that he would not send Burko to jail before noon of August 1-, as lie hnd a puriiose of his own in keeping him out. Judge Baker then issued an order for a writ as prayed for. Burke was given in his sell a letter from Ireland over which ho broke down and wept bitterly. The authoritio aro confident that Hurko will eventually confess, but there is desire to refuse to receivo his conlcssion, if by so doing nny leniency must be conceded to him; and it will not be accepted unless absolutely necessary tu convict others. States Attorney Longoneeker said: "I do not think ho can hold out against tho unavoidable prospect of execution for this murder.

I think ho will confess. I nm certain Burke is one of the men who actually killed Croain, and nothing in tho world can save him from tho gallows except a juror who would not hang anybody. ith all the evidence we have against Burko (and there ib far more.than has been published) there is no escape. And he will drag down the others with him also. When you take tho part Burke played in the conspiracy and tho part Coughliu took, nnd how Sullivan hel)cd, there is ns clear a case as wns ever made out.

There is no escape. Wo have evidence that cannot bo contradicted. Burko is so guilty, and wo havo absolute proof of of his being ono of tho men who butchered Crunin. The Alton Brought to Taw. Washington, D.
