Hall. When she had ceased firing, O.Don

way. At the hospital be was examined
/ and il was found that the bullet bad en-
tered his back below the left shoulder

not dangerous, and began to probe Tor the
ball, A great crowd had followed the
wounded man, and blocked the road IN
front Of the hospital after the doof
was closed behind Rosa and nIs
escort. Meanwhile the woman had
been taken to the station-house, With an
| other crowd following her. She was 3 good
| looking woman, was dressed neatly IN plain
dark clothing. and wore eyeglasses. h
appeared like a school teacher, With an In
telligent face. Her manner was entirely
| composed, and she ans Hered some ques-
tons promptly. To others she shook her
head, smiled with . look which seemed 70
say, / shall only answer questions which l
know You have q right 10 ask. She was
asked: "Doyou know the man you shot
Yes" she replied, II shot O'Donoyan
Rosa" Further questioning ELECTED the
statement that the prisoners name Is
Yseult Dudley, Is years OF age. She was 3
nurse, and is married. She was asked Why
she shot Rosa. how long she had been in
| America, and other questions, to which she
made no answer. Her demeanor was that
Of . rational person, and a ool-headed
one at that. Rosa had been placed on 8
cot in the same ward with Captain Phelsn,
who was stabbed in Rossa's office three
weeks ago. Rosa was within eight beds of
Phelan. Some time after his admission, he
was moved to another ward. Here he said
he thought his condition serious enough TO
warrant the making Of an Ante-mortem
statement. The Coroner was sent for.
When he arrived Rosa made the following
statement: Saturday afternoon / re-
ceived q letter by a boy. The note stated
that q lady wished to see me; that she was
interested in the Irish cause, and desired
to assist it. She did not care to go TO my
Office, and remained waiting at q certain
place until 1 came. She only would ask
for ten minutes time. The boy told me
the lady wss at the telegraph Office. /
went with him and met her. / told her
il would be well to go 10 some hotel, as the
telegraph Office was no place to talk in.
We went to S~weeneys' Hotel and went into
the ladies parlor. She said she would be
able to give considerable money if any,
thing good was 10 be done. She then said
she would call on Monday, to-day. She
sent another messenger to my Office, and
went to the same telegraph Office, and there
/ met the lady. She showed me q paper,
which / was to sign. She then z ted
that we go to some place. We walked
down Chambers street towards Broadway,
and We had got q short distance when the
woman stepped back and fred two or three
shots at me. One Of the shots entered my
back" After making the statement,
Rosa rested easier. and said he was hope
full Of pulling through.
Captain Phelan, who is still guarded by
policemen, when informed OF the particu-
lars OF the shooting. smiled grimly, but re-
fused to say anything on the subject.
Rosa said to Q reporter: sit was q pre-
meditated affair. and the woman was simply
the engine by which the dastardly work was
accomplished. She had no private revenge
to crafty. No relative Of hers has been
injured in the English explosions. Il ia
the work OF the English Government.
whose policy has always been to assassinate
men they cannot otherwise reach. She ia
the agent OF q British Minister, or some
body else. This woman came to me and
said she was OF Irish birth, but that her
husband did not sympathize with the cause
OF Ireland. She was rsbid in her views Of
dynamite. She said the London explosion
was no good, and wanted to make q sacri.
nee OF life to strike terror to the heart Of
Ireland's enemies. / told her | was NOT
engaged in that business, and l received no
money for such purposes. She reiterated
that thousands OF lives should be sacrificed
in London. She wanted me to sign a "a.
ceipt for money. The receipt contained
the word dynamite and | declined 10
sign 1t. She is an agent Of the British
Government, employed to sssassinate me. /"
