from a Pistol INA tie Hands of a Wonan.
| In New York, on the Cd, Jeremiah O'Dono-
van Rosa, the Irish dynamiter, so-ealled, was
! shot by a woman on Chambers street, near
Broadway. At that hour the streets were full
of people homeward 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'Donovan's body aud
he fell to the sidewalk. The woman continued
to shoot until she emptied the five-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 ODono-
van rose to his feet and made an effort to find
his way back to his office in Chambers street,

trying to place his hand on his back, under his
shoulder blade. After a few steps somebody

and O'Donovan did as suggested and directed
the way there, the distance being nearly
quarter of mile. He bled considerably on
the way. Once in the hospital he was I'M

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 O'Donavan
and his escort.
Meanwhile the woman had been taken to the
station house with another crowd closely fol-
lowing her. She was placed before Sergeant
Cass' desk. She was good-looking, dressed
neatly, in plain dark clothing, and wore eye
glasses. She appeared like a school teacher,
with an intellectual face. Hermanner was en-
tirely composed and she answered some of the
que tiOnS put TO her promptly, and without
embarrassment. To others, she simply shook
her head, and smiled, with look, which said:
81 shall only answer questions which l know
you have right to ask.'
McAuley handed the pistol, of small calibre,
to the sergeant and said he had seen the pris-
oner shoot man on Chambers street. The
volunteer Witnesses assented to the stated fact
of the shooting citizen here asked: ''DO
you know the man you shot:" ''Yes," replied
the prisoner, with an English accent, Il shot
O'DonOvan Rossa.'
Further questioning by the sergeant elected
the statement that the prisoners name was
Yseult Dudley, aged %, ana that she was
nurse and married, and that she lived at
Clinton place. She was asked way she shot
O'Donoyan, how l)rg she had been in America
and other questions 10 which she made 10
answer. After her ped gree had been taken,
she was escorted to rear room and the crowd
slowly dispersed. Her entire demeanor was
that of ration al person and a cool headed
one at that. Rosa had been placed on a cot
in the same ward with Captain Phelan, who
was stabbed by Richard Short in Rosa S Office
over three weeks ago. Rosa was within eight
beds of Phelan. An examination of the
wound by DIR. Kirby showed the bullet had
penetrated the back about half an inch above
the left shoulder blade. The ball ranged up
ward and inward toward the spinal column
but did not touch the vertebrae. The bullet
evidently lodged in the muscles Of the back,
and beyond slight shock, Rosa has suffered
