extraordinary ability and sagacity, where the following information was
sworn out:

Canada, Province of Manitoba, County of Selkirk: The information
and complaint of John M. Collins, of the City of Chicago, in the

Majesty's Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench for the Province of
Manitoba aforesaid, Judge under the Extradition Act at the City of
Winnipeg, in said County of Selkirk, this 20th day of June, in the
year of our Lord 1889, who says he has just cause to suspect and
believe, and does suspect and believe, that Martin Burke, alias W.
J. Cooper, late of the said City of Chicago, in the said State of
Illinois, did commit the crime of murder within the jurisdiction of
the said State of Illinois, one of said United States of America,
to wit: That the said Martin Burke, alias W. J. Cooper, on or about
the 4th day of May, in the year of our Lord 1889, at the said City
of Chicago, did feloniously, willfully, and of malice aforethought,
kill and murder one Patrick H. Cronin.

Taken and sworn before me, John F. Bain, Judge of the Court of
Queen's Bench, Manitoba.

JOHN M. COLLINS.

case for the State of Illinois.

THE IDENTIFICATION COMPLETE.

The fast express on the following day had among its passengers from
Chicago the Expressman Martinsen, and Officer J. M. Broderick. They
