from a Pistol ia The Hands of Wonaan.
In New York, on the %, jeremiah O'Dono-
van Rosa, the Irish dynamiter, so-called, was
shot by a woman on Chambers street, near
Broadway. At that hour the streets were full
of people homcward bound, making Their
way toward Brooklyn bridge. The excitement
over the shooting, although the man was re-
cognized by very few, was intense. The first
shot fired took effect in O'Donoyan's body and
he fell TO the sidewalk. The woman continued
to shoot until she emptied the fve-chambered
revolver. Only the first shot took effect. City
Marshal James McAuley was present at the
time, and breaking through the crowd that !
had collected even before the shooting was
over, seized the woman, who still held the |
smoking pistol in her hand, telling her she was
under arrest. The woman offered no remOn-
STRANGE, but allowed herself to be taken
through the crowd to the city hall station.
When the woman had ceased firing O'Dono-
van rose TO his feet and made an effort to find
his way back to his office in Chambers street,
which he had just left. He said, Il am shot,"
trying to place his hand on his back, under his
shoulder blade. Afler few steps somebody
suggested he should go 10 the Chambers street
hospital. A couple of men lent their arms
and O'Donoyan did as suggested and directed
his steps towards the hospital. He walked all
the way there, the distance being nearly
quarter of a mile He bled considerably on |
theNyay. Once in the hospital he was I'M J
dressed and examined by DR.. Dennison and ii t
was found the bullet had entered his back. di-
rectly below the left shoulder blade. The doc
tor pronounced the wound not of dangerous
character and began to probe for the ball. A 7
great crowd of people had followed the
wounded man down Chambers street and
blocked the roadway in front OF the hospital,
after the door Was closed behind ODonayan %
and his escort. },
