FATALLY STABBED BY A NOTED DYNA-
INTER- IN THE OFFICE OF o'DoN-
| ovAN ROSSA-TwELvE
WOUNDS ON HIS
/ BODY.
| Thos. Phelar, superintendent of the Kan
| sas City workhouse, was stabbed aud prob
ably fatally wounded in the office of O'Don-
ovan Rosa, 10 New York last Friday,by n
man named Berry. The men quarrelled pre-
sumably 10 relation to Irish national affair.
Berry was locked up. Phelan was re-
moved to the Chambers street hospital,
where it Is thought he will die.
1t is learned that Phelan was regarded as
u traitor by the dynamiters, and that let
ter was sent to Kansas City to decoy him
to New York. 1t was believed that he had
betrayed their secrets by having them pub
lished iu the form of an interview.
When Phelan reached New York he was
met by Jno. Kearuey and escort
ed to Rossas Office, where Immediately on
his arrival he was attacked. He rushed,
bleeding from many wounds, into the
street. He WIS pursued by man, who
was arrested by officer Levy. While the
officer held the prisoner SO Phelan could
Identity him as the assailant Phelan sud
denly drew u rev0.ver and fired at the pris-
oner but missed him. At the station house
the prisoner gave his name as Richard
Short, butcher. The wound by the pistol
shot fred by Phelan was found to be slight.
The prisoner was locked up. Me lnwhtle
Pnelan lay on the sidewalk. Fireman
Clothrell asked him il he should get
priest or minister. NO." replied Phelan,
III want nobody. belong to no religion. !"
An ambulance took the wounded man to
Chambers street hospital. His clothing
was cut In several places, under which
there was no wound. The four stabs In
the back were slight, two just below either
shoulder. They were two inches deep.
seventh was in the right side Of the neck.
Another penetrated the chest, and each
arm received q thrust The right arm was
almost severed from the shoulder.
An ante NOR TEN statement was obtained
from Phelan by the coroner at the hospital.
Phelan declares that the man who assault
ed him was named Barker. Kearney and
two other men witnessed the affair.
The attempted assassination OF Phelan
has caused q great sensation. An inter-
view In whic, Phelan was supposed to have
betrayed the secrets of the dynamiters,
and which was published 10 the Kansa.
City Journal, contained q statement from
Phelau in which he told about the attempt
to blow up the steamer Queen, at Liver
pool dock, also about the attempt 10 blow
up the Caldeo nian railway Ut Glasgow and
mentioned the names of the men who were
concerned 10 those jobs. Kesrney's name
was mentioned as chief protector. Phelan
went to England shortly after Carry was
m de famous US an impormer and 1t was
for some time supposed that as he was
crack shot with the rife and pistol he had
gone there to ex Gu 9 vengeance on Carry
and tbe name OF U Dounell was believed to
be the alias for Phelan. Paean came EAR
being transported for life when n England
and escaped to America in disguise.
