 While The Dynamite Chief Is On
 The Stand.
 NEW YORK, June 29.-Mrs. Yseult Dud- ley, the English woman who shot Jeremiah
 O'Donovan Rossa last February, was brought
 to part I. of the court of general sessions to- day for trial. Attired in white lawn dress,
 adorned with black silk bows, and wearing on her head an immense white straw hat,
 elorately trimmed with white lace and black
 velvet. Mrs. Dudley left the Jefferson Mar ket prison at il o'clock accompanied by a deputy sheriff. The officer and his prisoner
 boarded a Sixth avenue car. In the court
 room, if there were many dynamiters, they kept themselves out of sight. Patrick Joyce
 was on hand early, and secured a front seat.
 The court room was crowded to it's utmost
 capacity, but at least one-ffth
 of those present were detectives
 and policemen. The prisoner sat
 in the rear of the room, in charge of an off
 cer, for an hour or more, while Judge Gil
 magnitude. ''Lucille Yseult Dudley to the
 bar," called the clerk. Mrs. Dudley came
 forward with downcast eyes and took 8 seat
 between her counsel, ex-Judge Fullerton and
 Mr. Butts. Assistant District Attorneys
 Nicon and Purdy represented the prosecu-
 tion. As the work of selecting 8 suitable
 jury was begun, Jeremiah O'Donovan
 Rossa came into court and took up
 position at the rear of the room.
 The jury was secured and sworn before re-
 cess. Following are the names and occupa-
 tions of the jurors: Emanuel Simmons, jeweler; 0. P. Cohn, quilt manufacturer;
 Louis Kronthal, travelling salesman; George
 7faa
 Mass; George Brunswick, designer and en- graver; William Hill, Charles Dutz, clerks; Henry T. Blodgett, life insurance agent; J. w. Lathrop, jeweler; George W. Phelps and W. L. Jenkins.
 On the resembling of court at 2:30 D. m. Assistant District Attorney Purdy opened the case for the people and detailed the facts in the case prior to and after the shooting. O'Donovan Rossa was the first witness, and Mrs. Dudley lent her voice in making thlngi lively. Being asked his name the witness replied, Jeremiah O'DOnovan Rossa. .""That's not his name," called out Mrs. Dudley: s.Where did he get the Rossa from?' namiterl" shouted Mrs. Dudley before Rossa could reply journalist" When relating the circumstances of the shooting witness said Mrs. Dudley had asked him to sign a certain receipt, which he had refused to do. Mrs. Dudley al GnlS cTleu out HI l loud voice, "You are liarl You never read l a word of it." At several subsequent points Mrs. Dudley made similar remarks, at one time telling the jury to move away from him he was dangerous man and at another say. l ing he was never struck by bullet, but fell to the sidewalk through fright.
 Mrs. Dudley continued to interject hel sharp and sarcastic sallies up to the time o1 adjournment much after the fashion ir which Guiteau enlivened the proceedings during his trial. She laughed in glee while l Rossa was describing his sufferings and called out merrily: 'I want that bullet l back O'Donovan, that was only lent.
 At another time she shouted: Stop lying you're perjuring yourself. Won't someone please knock him out of window?" Rossa said that when he fell after being shot his I legs were paralyzed, and Mrs. Dudley added tfWith fear" Then she continued, "I be-
 lieve you, O'Donovan, you were scared, Jeremiah and badly. I wish IT had you in England | O'Donovan, there would be necktie there for you. Oh, you cur, should like to have our women get hold of you.' While Judge Fullerton was reading one of Rossa's infam | matory editorials she jeered, ''How did you 1 like your own weapons, Donovana wouldn't | have shown the white feather. If was a 1 coward would not show it.
 Rossa told the story of the shooting substan l tially as it was printed at the time A mum l Der of Rossa's followers were present and | occasionally hissed ''spy," English agent and words of like import at Mrs. Dudley.
