her stay in the house she never, as far
as l know, had any visitor or received
letter. She left here about o'clock
without stating where she was going,
ana the only explanation | can give Of
her conduct is that, being highly in
tellIgent and patriotic Englishwoman,
she brooded over the matter until she
determined to act the part Of Charlotte
| Corday and rid her country Of the man
whom she deemed an implacable enc

DR.. Thomas knew nothing about
Mrs. Dudley. His partner. DR.. Nc
Gosh, however, knew her, and said that
she came to this country in company
with Miss Chalmers and third nurse.
All three went to Newark to reside.
and after short time Mrs, Dudley
came to him for employment. showing
testimonials of her abilities and quail
fications as a trained nurse from several
Of the London hospitals. Her CONVEX
sation, continued DR.. McCosh, was that
of highly-educated, intelligent
woman, and she was employed for
month as a night-nurse in the private
hospital of DR.. Thomas. She per-
formed her duties very SATISFACTORY
ly, but gave up the work, as she pre-
ferred 10 do private nursing. She came
to New York to live, as she could more
readily get employment here.
At Newark it was learned that Mrs.
Dudley was formerly nurse in the
Rooseyelt-Street Hospital, this city,
where she became acquainted with
Mrs. Chalmers. The latter lived at
No. AZ Plane street, in Newark. Three
weeks since Mrs. Chalmers took Mrs.
Dudley to Newark, but the latter be-
hayed in such strange manner that
she Sas told to leave the house.
A Times reporter last night went up
the stairs leading to 0'Donovan Rossa's
office, but found the door locked. 4
stranger was in the hallway bent upon
the same errand.
"Do you know who Mrs. Dudley
Is . nc was ASKED.
From the description | heard given
of her think do"
"Who is shc?" Mrs. Garrahy."
"Who is Mrs. Garrahy?" "I'll tell
you something interesting. Mrs. Gar
rahy is the wife of Garrahy. the printer,
who afterward became the correspond
ent of the Fords. of the Irish WORTH.
He was the O'DOnncll who killed Carey.
A number of years ago he was en-
ployed in the London post-ofIicc, and
then came to this country and worked
as a printer. He was employed on the
Irish World. The FordS saw that he
was a man of great determination. in
telligent and patriotic. so they made him
their correspondent. When Carey
betrayed the cause. 0'Donnell or
Garrahy was selected by the
dynamiters to put him out Of the way.
You know the rest from the accounts in
the papers. Mrs. Garrahy. with three
children, remained in Brooklyn penni-
less. and the patriots made up purse
for her relief. She was told that the
money had been given to Mr.. Rossa to
hand over to her. and so she called on
him and asked him for it. He told her
that he did not have it and that she
must look to the FordS. She did not
believe him and made threats against
him. but no one ever dreamed that she
meant any harm. However. she and
her children had been starving for seven
months. and | suppose this made her
desperate"
HER STATEMENT DENIED IN LON
DON.
LONDON. February 3.-Onicials at
the Chelsea Hospital. where soldiers
widows are trained as nurses. express
surprise at the statements cabled from
New York that Mrs. Dudley. who shot
O'DOnoyan Rosa. claimed to have
graduated as n nurse at that inStitu-
ton. They say no woman of her
name or description was ever trained
there. Several newspapers have iden-
titled Mrs. Dudley with woman
named Lucila Dudley. who was found
insenSiblc in car of the Great
Eastern railway from the effects of
chloroform, and who. upon restoration
to consciousness, attempted to swallow
morphine. The description and history
of this woman tally very closely with
the description Of Mrs. Dudley in New
York and with certain parts Of her his
tory rs related by herself. The chap
lain Of the prison in which She was
then confined has started for New York
for the purpose Of identifying her.
