BAD FOR BURKE.
Two Witnesses Positively Identify Him mm
Frank William," Who Kent ed the Carl
son Cottage.
Chicago, Nov. 2. In the Cronin triaL
yesterday Mrs. Annie Carlson was.
placed on tho stand. The young woman
began her testimony very timidly. Af
ter a few questions she became so nervous
that her replies were almost inaudible.
It frequently became necessary for the
court stenographer to repeat aloud the
barely uttered sentences which fell from,
her lips. ,
The witness told how, on the 2Sth of
March, while she was at the Carlson's,.
a man came to rent the cottage which
stood near the house. He said his sis
ter was to keep houso for him. and that,
he Jhad some furniture he wanted to
move in at once. He gave his name as
Frank Williams.
"Mrs. Carlson." said Lawyer Mills,
"do you see that stranger in the court
room now?'
"Will you point him out to the jury?"
"There he is." the witness said, point
ing directly to Martin Burke.
"Do you mean Martin Burke that
man?" continued Mr. Mills, pointing to
Burke again.
"Yes." replied the witness.
.lonas Carlson, tho owner of the cot
tage, was the next witness. He corrob
orated the testimony of his daughter-in-law
about the stranger coming to rent
the cottage. He told about the stranger
renting the cottage for a month for 12,
and paying tho money down.
Tho witness described tite Carlson
cottage, the furniture and other sur
roundings: told of conversations be
tween parties who ronted tho cottage
and was finally asked if lie saw Frank
Williams, tho man who rented the cot
tage, in the room.
The old gentleman hesitated, glanced
at the jurors, inspecting each closely,
swept his eyes over tho audience, looked
at the reporters, lawyers, then settled
back in his chair with a shake of the
head.
"Step down from the stand and look
again."
The old man left the stand, walked
about among the reporters, attorneys,
for the defense, and finally his gazo
rested on Martin Burke.
He smiled, waved his hand and re
turned to his chair.
"You see the man. do you, who called
himself Frank Williams when he rent
ed the cottage?"
"Yes, sir."
"Where is he?"
"That's him sitting there." pointing
to Martin Burke.
That scaled Martin Burke's doom and.
cold perspiration oozed out all over his
face. Defendants' attorneys took the wit
ness through a vigorous and rattling'
cross-examination as to his eye-sight,
I memory, hearing, events at the cottage,
I but failed to shake him in a single de
tail.

since 1SS1 "flash" notes, or imitations
of money, have been seized to the
amount of S12S,:J0:5,i::0 representative
value. Congress, he says, during its
session increased the scope of the secret
