of the "arch dynamiter."
John Roche, whose dynamite opera
tons have been confined to speeches in
the Fourth ward, furtively eyed each
visitor to the institution, and from time
to time disappeared to talk with parties
on the outside.
Algernon Sullivan, public administra-
tor, had read the news in an "extra',
and dropped in TO see if the story was
true. He was not permitted to see
Rosa, and vanished shortly after.
W. j. Bourke, a pronounced dyna-
miter, shouted: "You can kill Rossa
but you can't kill the idea"

Patrick Joyce, trusted lieutenant OF
Rosa, came to his chief shortly
after Rossa was wounded. Rosa
turned over to him all his papers
and among them were tho
letters from Mrs. Dudley. Joyce
was loud in his denunciation
OF the cowardly attempt to slaughter the
great dynamiter, and charged that IL
was England's work ut once. OF course,
10 was the outcome of conspiracy on
the part of England TO rid the world of
Rossa, whom she breads and fears.

them brave enough to attack him. He
has received scores of threatening let

than he would toa flea.

Joyce went TO the Oak street station
to see II he could Identify Mrs. Dudley
as an English woman who had been be-
iriendod by Rosa about a year ago and
he was refused admission 10 her, but
when he heard description of tho
prisoner, he concluded IL did not tally
with that OF the other woman.

Rossa's admirers were greatly relieved
when IL was found his recovery was re-
garded as quite certain.
Walker j. Elliott and Patrick Joyce
went to Brooklyn, and broke
tho tidings of Rossa's
attempted assassination 10 his
wife. She received the tidings calmly.
She Immediately started for
New York, and reached the hos
pital at 10 o'clock, whore she was ad-
mitted at once to her husbands
bedside. Their weeping was quite af-
fecting. About o'clock tonight, Mrs.
Dudley asked about the condition Of
Rosa, and seemed sorry when she
heard he was still alive. x number OF
persons called to see her, but she posi-
lively refused to be interviewed by any
one. She discarded her steel
bowed spectacles, which, according TO
Joyce, were used as disguise.
