Mrs Rosa arrived at the hospital at
ten O'Clock, and was Immediately taken
to her husbands side. She was appar-
emily greatly moved at his condition.
Rosa, in conversation with an intimate
friend tonight, said that his attempted
assassination was the work of the En-
glish Government. He didn't know the
woman who shot him, or anything of her
antecedents, and as far as he knew 10
relatives of hers had been injured by re-
ceut explosions in London. He had not
the least doubt that it was plemedi-

Government to put him out of the way.

women acted strangely, but they could
not specify in what particular. They die
not seek other company.
