The Woman Who Shot 0'DOnOyan-
Rosa Was Acquitted by
the Jury.
New York telegram


In the case Of Mrs. Yseult Dudley, on
trial for shooting ODonovan- Rosa, the
testimony for the defense was to the
effect that Mrs. Dudley was sufferer from
chronic mania. Mrs Dudley insisted on
going on the witness stand and telling her
story to the jury. She claimed that she
was not insane, and stated that Rosa told
her also that he intended to blow up En-
glish vessels, and in that way strike terror
to English hearts. He was a murderer.
He had shown himself to be one.

The jury, after deliberating FIVE minutes,
returned a verdict acquitting her on the
ground Of insanity.

The Communication Of the rrastees to
Cenneii, Last Night.
Following is the communication Of the
Gas Trustees submitted to Council last
night, relative to the extension Of the gas
werks and the purchase Of the Isaiah War
rem ground, on Nineteenth street:
WHEELING, April %, 1885.
To the Hon. Mayor and Council Of the
Cityof Rheeling:
GENrLEMEN-At joint meeting Of your
Committee on Lights, with the Gas Trus.
tees, held April Il, 1885, with other bust
ness transacted, was included resolution,
authorizing the Gas Trustees to purchase q
certain properly therein named, belonging
to Mr. Warren, for the sum of $4,000, and
providing further that if the owner Of said
property should refuse to accept the sum
Srsmed, that Council should order the con-
dtmnation of said property, for the use of
The gas works-~ The report adopted by the
Con mittee on Lights, embodying the reso.
luton referred to above, is now waiting your
consideration.
Since the meeting Of the committee
above referred to was held, the Gas Trus.
tees have conferred with Mr.. Warren, and at
final conference held to-day received
from him the statement and proposition
following viz:
MIR. Warren declined to accept $4,000 in
exchange for the property named, aud
states that he will contest to the legal end
the proposed condemnation of the same.
He at the same time deprecates the necessi-
ty of expensive and annoying litigation,
which the proposed condemnation will sub
iect all parties concerned, and desiring to
avoid the same has concluded to make a
final proposition, as follows: He
will convey to the city the
property described for the sum
Of SIS, 600, and as further consideration in
payment of said property will accept the
product of ammoniocal liquor Of the gas
works for the term of eighteen months.
This would make the total cost of the prop
erty to the city about $500, which includes
q profit to the city on the product named,
and is 800 less than any price for the prop
erty previously named by Mr.. Warren.
The Trustees beg leave to state that they
are unanimously Of the opinion that the said
property is not only of great Importance to
the proper conduct of the gas works, but it
is also highly important that it should
be placed in control of the Gas
Trustees promptly. There is great danger
that delay may cause the city loss of a sum
much greater than is now in controversy
between the city and Mr.. Warren. =.
For these reasons and others that could
be given, your Trustees recommend that
the proposition of Mr.. Warren, herein sub
mitted, be accepted, and that the Trustees
be authorized to contract with him tor the
transfer OF the property to the city on the
terms above mentioned.
Respectfully submitted,
T. Il. LOGAN,
Robert SIMPSON,
Thomas 4. LEWIS,
Gas Trustees.
