The inmates OF the house discussed
Mrs. Dudley and her shooting Of Rossa
earnestly, and they mostly came to the
conclusion that she Ia demented. One Of
them said: "She spoke frequently Of
Rosss's lswless acts. She abhored the
sacrifice Of innocent people and de-
nounoed II In strong terms. When she
held one Of Rossa's newspapers In her
hands she seemed to be inspired with
patriotic hatred OF the man and his doc
trines. At such times her frail form
would culver with excitement. She
spoke with earnest, rapid vehemsnce,
yet mot in loud tone or In . brswling
way, but with the fervor Of enthusiasm.
She talked as Joan Of Arc might have

table and said 0'Donovsn Rosa ought
to be killed. She left Newark on the fol-
lowing day, and had not be n seen or
