NEW YORK, June 29.-The trial of Mrs.
Yseult Dudley for shooting O'Donovan
Rosa, in February last, was begun here
to-day. The courtroom was crowded to the
utmost capacity. Rosa and his lieutenant,
Pat Joyce, were both in attendance.
O'DonOvan Rosa was the first witness
called by the prosecution. Being asked his
name, he said: Jeremiah O'Donovan
Rossa." ''That's not his name,~
called, out Mrs. Dudley; 'sWhere

Dudley had agreed to donate 5000 in in
stallments. She said she didn't like dyn-
amlte, where it would take innocent lives.
O'Donovan testified that he did not like
that business either. AS the witness said
this Mrs. Dudley arose to her feet and

can't tell what will happen. He's only
perJurlng himself" In another moment
Mrs. Dudley cried imploringly; 'sWon't
somebody please knock that man out of the
windoww O'Donvan went on to say that
ne suggested that they go to more appro-

then she added: "For Gods sake don't kill

O'Donovan showed where the bullet had
struck him Mrs. Dudley interpolated: ST

Rosa then told of his coming and going be-
tween this country and Great Britain, and
was continually interrupted by the prisoner
with caustic remarks. When he stated thathe
was once sent to this country by the
British minister Mrs. Dudley said: ST
wish we had kept you in England. There
would not have been particle leftof you"
And so it continued throughout his festi-
mony, the prisoner breaking in at nearly
every answer and taunting Rosa witflcoW

the witness stand he passed the prisoner on
his way to the door. As he did so Mrs.
Dudley shouted in his face: Down. with
dynamiters! God save the queenl, audthen
added tauntingly, 'tDon't kill me! don't
kill me for Gods sake!"
