O,Donovan Rossa's Injuries Not Fa-
taI-He Sends Out a Statement De-
nouncing the British Government
An Exciting Scene When the As
sassin is Brought to Court.
New YORK, Feb 3.-Ths condition of
O'Donevsn Rosa is now favorable to his
speedy recovery, although the ball which en-
tered his body below his left shoulder blade
has not been found. This afternoon through
Mrs. Rosa he furnished to the press a state
ment in which he says: 81 wish it to be re-
membered that England has inaugurated the
work of individual assassination. 1 want it
to be remembered that emissaries of the En-
glish government ate now at work assassinat-
ing American citizens on American soil, and
1 charge that the British minister to Wash
ington is guilty of conspiracy to assassinate,
and if his official position or the toadyism of
the Anglo-maniacs will save him from arrest
1 hope the American people will in their pub
lie opinion hold him guilty of this crime.
The conspiracy in my case is clear and pal
pable. The Geographic despatch of Pierre
pont Edwards, British consul at this port, to
Lawyer Butts and Mr.. Butts appearance for
the woman in court this morning are most
conclusive proofs of her connection with and
the source of the conspiracy. The House of
Representatives, which has power to take the
initiative step in all matters of international
policy, should at once demand the instant
return of Mr.. West to England as well as
make certain demands onEngland for repara-
ton. Although there are many En-
glishmen in this country not a single
one of them has been touched
1t is a stringent rule in our
organization that no person or thing shall be
interfered with in America or American
waters. This rule has been obeyed to the
letter, but now that England has transferred
assassinations from London and inaugurated
them here will wait to the howl of in
dignation that will be made in this country
as has been in England over cases with which
the Americans had nothing to do. 1t is I'M
necessary for me to say anything about the
Irish sentiment. They see the situation and
no doubt are equal to any emergency that
may arise brought about by the war of assas-
sination which England has put IN force in
this country"
When Rosa was shot he had upon his
person package of letters and postal cards
which he handed to Patrick Joyce after
reaching the hospital. These were shown to
reporters to-day who were allowed to copy
them. They are ali of the most threatening
character and all declare that Rosa must
die. Some were surmounted by skull and
cross bones and some had collins and other
devices. Many of the letters were written
with red ink.
When Mrs. Dudley was taken from the
Dab no1ica OF To ha he ri
to-day, where she was remanded for a furth-
er hearing having refused to plead by advice
of her counsel MI. Butts she was followed by a
large crowd of men, women and children,
which was augmented as the party proceeded
Men and women pointed ct her and said,
''There goes the English spy. Let us give
her dose of American mud" One woman
made a rush at Mrs. Dudley and cried out,
'I'll tear you like lark, you - English
informer and assassin" The policemen es-
corting the prisoner drew their clubs and
Detective Jackson, accompanying them, drew
his revolver, which kept the excited
throng at civil distance and the party was
not further interrupted. Mrs. Dudley did not
seem at all disturbed and walked firmly, de-
family facing the crowd To a reporter she
said this afternoon: ri have really nothing
to add to what have already stated. Any
person who has a mission to fll-and mine
was holy one-has nothing to fear" 1t was
ascertained to-day that Mrs Dudley received
three kilograms from Montreal last night and
to-day telling her to stand firm as there were
hosts of friends who would come to her as
sistanee.
The womaD,s Past History-A Free
quent Inmate of Insane Asylums
and a Morbid Halter of Irishmen.
LONDON Feb. 3.-Dr. Williams, superin-
tendent of the Hayward Heath insane
asylum, Sussex, states chat the woman who
gives her name to the New York police as
Mrs Dudley was committed to the asylum
as criminal patient in September, 1880.
She had attempted to commit suicide while
travelling by rail from London to Brighton.
Her friends were allowed to take her away
last August. Her record shows that she
tried to kill herself once before and had been
shut up in Millbank prison fer it. After be-
ing released from that imprisonment she be-
came a nurse in the Queen Charlotte nursing
institute. She claimed to be of good family.
1t is believed from the result of various in
quiries that she is an illegitimate child of
noble parentage and that her own children,
both of whom are dead, were lllegitlmate.
She received a good education in France and
developed talent for acting, but never
actually appeared on the public stage. Dur
ing the first few months of her detention at
the Hayward Heath asylum she frequently
attempted suicide and had fits in
which she was dangerous to others.
When discharged she appeared to be entirely
free from decisions. Her case was diagnosed
as one of congenita1 moral insanity. Her
likes and dislikes we're always extreme. She
either hated or loved. Her political opinions
seemed to be limited to general hatred of
Irishmen. Whenever brought in contact
with an Irish Official she quarrelled with him.
The wardress of the Millbank prison remem-
bers Mrs. Dudley as an eccentric
person who feared nothing and defed the
rules of the institution regardless of punish
ment She was liberated on the ground of
RESPONSIBILITY for her crime, she being pro-
nounced insane. This was in May, 1888.
Two weeks ago the prison chaplain received
letter from Mrs. Dudley thanking him for the
kindness he had shown her while in the pris
on. She added that she was prospecting in
New York.
A female attendant in the London
hospital who became intimate with Mrs.
Dudley while the latter was a
nurse there says that she was Catholic. She
was generally cheerful but subject to spells
of melancholy during which she talked of
suicide and on one occasion she swallowed
some opium, but prompt medical treatment
saved her life She gave as her reason for
desiring to die that she wished to see her
children again. She claimed to be a widow,
but the attendant had heard that she had
only maintained an irregular connection with
an officer in the French army. She was
woman of thorough education and refine
ment. Just before Mrs. Dudley's attempt to
commit suicide on the Great Eastern railroad
train in February, 1888, she wrote letter to
a lady who had pressed her for the payment
of debt saying:
NV dear Mrs. Malburn-Read this patiently for

terly cruel this week was trying hard to resist
