CO. shot fred took effect in O'Donovan's body
nd I'D he fell to the sidewalk. The woman con-
inred TO shoot until she emptled her hVe-
hammered revolver. Only the first shot took
EJECT City Marshal James McCauley was
"rosent and, breaking through the crowd that
KID collected there even before the shooting
was over, seized the woman, who still held
the smoking pistol in her hand, and told her
she was under arrest She offered no remon-
STRANGE. but allowed herself to be taken through
tha mass Of citizens and to the city hall station
borse When the woman had ceased firing
ODonoyan arose to his feet and made an effort
n find his way back TO his office on Chambers
street., which he had just left He said, II am
shot" trying to place his hand on MS pacK IN
der his shoulder blade.
After a few steps somebody in the crowd
suggested that he should so to the Chambers
street hospital. A couple of men lent their
rms and ODonovan did as suggested and
directed his steps toward the hospital He
walked all the way there, nearly q quarter
a. mile. He bled considerably on the way.
Once in the hospital, he was undressed and ex-
on,ined nv DR.. Dennison. 1t was found that
the bullet had entered the back directly below
the shoulder blade. The doctor pronounced
the wound not off dangerous character, and
hepan TO probe for the ball. Rosa has suf-
fered but little and there are no
doubts of his recovery. The woman's
name is Yseult Dudley, age twenty-five; that
she was O nurse and married, and that she
lived at 60 Clinton place. She was asked why
she shot O'Donovan, how long she had benin
America and other questions, TO which she
made no answer. Her entire demeanor was
that of rational person, and a cool-headed one.
To a reporter Rosa said:
Il was a premeditated affair, and this woman
WAS simply til engine by which the dastardly
work was accomplished. She had no private
revenge to crafty. No relative Of hers has been
injured in an English explosion. 1t is the work
of the English government, whose policy has al
WAYS been TO assassinate men II could not 9TH
erwise reach. She is the agent of the British
minister or somebody else. This woman came
to me and said she was Irish, but that her hus-
band did not sympathize with the cause Of Ire
land She was rabid in her views on dynamite.
She said the London explosions were no good,
and wanted a horrible sacrifice of life, to strike
terror to the hearts Of Ireland's enemies l told
her was NJ tengagedin that business, and | re-
cieyed no money for such purposes, but only to
help the Irish cause. She reiterated that thou
sands Of lives should be sacrificed in London.
| had been to see my printer at 4 o'clock,
when l started out to meet her. She wanted
me to sign q receipt for money. The receipt
contained the word dynamite" and / refused
to sign It, put the paper in my pocket and
walked out with her. She is nothing more or
less than an agent Of the British government
employed to assassinate me.
MRS. D~UDLEy's CAREER
in New York is shus given: Thursday, Jan.
q, Mrs. Dudley called at Mrs. Legget's home
for unemployed women, No. 90 Clinton place.
She was met by Mrs. Brown, matron.
"Can you accommodate me here?" asked
Mrs. Dudley.
"Have YOU. references? ?" asked Mrs. Brown.
"My referenceis DIR. Thomas, whom every
body knows" was the reply; and she then
added: 81 am a professional nurse and a wild
ow, and desire to stay here until | secure an
engagement"
In telling the story of her acquaintance
with Mrs. Dudley, Mrs. Brown said:
"She impressed me SO fayorably that / told
her she might remain in the house If she would
room with two other young ladies. This she
consented to do. Her only baggage was a va
lse, which she never unpacked, because, as
she one day remarked, she might be called sud-
denly to attend some patient"
In the parlor at Mrs. Leggett's@ house the
young ladies talked of Mrs. Dudley's deed:
"she was almost crazy with excitement one
week ago Sunday when she read OF the explo-
sions in London said one of the group. "Sht
said America should give up Rosa to England
Then on Sunday last, when she heard of the ex-
poslons in Grand street, she was again very
much excited. She had a number OF copies of
Rossa's paper, and Sunday she said she had had
IN interview with Rosa the day before, and she
aid she had Rossa's werd for it she could geta
ton of dynamite in New York; that she heard
him say he knew and was in league with those
whe made il, and he did not care If they stopped
Its expectation or importation. Then she
added: Somebody will get even with ODon-
'ovan Rosa yet / never knew she had a pis-
to, but / offered to lend her mine"
The black-eyed young woman concluded by
saying that she believed Mrs. Dudley was tenn
porarily insane on the subject Of dynamite as
used against her country.
