antecedentS, and as far as he knew no
relatives of hers had been injured by re-
cent explosions in London. He had not
the least doubt that it was a pTemedi-
tated conspiracy to kill him. He didn't
believe that Prof. Mezzeron had anything
to do with the conspiracy, and firmly be-
lieYed that it was the work OF the British
Government to put him out of the way.
THE WOMAN WHO SHOT HIM.
The woman who attempted the life OF
Rossa is named Lucille Ysuelt Dudley.
She is widow and says her husband and
two children are dead. She is about
twenty-five years old. She says she has
been employed as nurse in the principal
hospitals of London and Paris. She came
to New York last September in company
with two other young women. All were
trained nurses, and came here with the
intention of starting a female hospital on
a small scale. FiE'ling the opportunity
difficult, they engaged as nurses.
One of the trio vas a Miss Chalmers.
She had friends IN Newark, and the
three went there. Afterward Miss
Chalmers got place in Roosevelt Hospi-
tai, New York, and few days later got
her friend, Mrs. Dudley position in the
same institution.
The superintendent of the hospital
says that while Mrs. Dudley was a good
nurse, she did not give entire salts

lar. She was not popular wi h the other
nurses. She left suddenly, saying she
had a "case' to attend to; but she
went to DIR. Thomas private hospital
in Lexington avenue, exhib ted diplomas
from London hospitals, and secured inn
mediate employment.
DR.. Thomas says that she was an ex-
cellent nurse, but did not get along well
with the other nurses, and after month
ha Lat hav~ f1-ars Ice
Chalmers, whom she had induced the
doctor to employ.
The other nurses said that the two
women acted strangely, but they could
not specify in what particular. They did
not seek other company.
From the Thomas Hospital Mrs. Dud-
ley went to Miss Leggett's Home for
Working Women in Clinton Place, and
boarded until last Monday, when she
told the manager of the house that she
had a case, and would give up her room.
She went away, but came back Wednes-
day afternoon, saying:
''My patient has died; can you accom-
modate me againH"
She was again given a room, for which
she paid IN advance until tomorrow
(Tuesday).
Yesterday afternoon she returned the
key to the manager, saying she was going
out and did not think she would return,
and would send for her baggage. Size
seemed excited and nervous.
"Did she ever allude, while here, to
her past domestic relations or life?"
| asked u r porter Of the manager of the
Home.
HShe toI me she had been married and
had two children, b It that they had died
abroad. Her father, she said, was nom
| commissioned officer in the cavalry SER
vice, and that she had repeatedly
! acted as trained nurse in
! London hospitals and also in Paris. She
also said that she had diplomas from va
rious institutions, and, 1 believe, she
/ has shown them to some of the other
/ young women. She was a thoroughly
1 ac omplished woman, and her manners
| and speech betokened a thoroughbred
English woman o keen mind and bright
| perceptions. She is intensely patriotic,
and often spoke of the English soldier.
| Her conversation at times was sarcastic
and cutting, when speaking of those
who were making war on the English
| people.
One day she said she much more en-
joyed the hospital work abroad than the
nursing she had been doing here. She
| declared she received $25 week there,
while her pay here was only $50 q
month.
In the parlor of Miss Leggett's Home
a beyy of y .ung ladies were talking
about Mrs. Dudley's deed.
"She was almost crazy with excitement
a week ago Sunday" said one, 'when
she heard of the explosions in London.
She said America should give up Rossa to
England, and yesterday when she heard
of the explosion on Grand street, she was
again very much excited
