MRS. DUDLEY,

O'Donovan Rossa's Assailant Talks About
HerseH-Rer Loves and Her Hates.
New YORK, February 5.-Mrs. Dudley
conyersed sparingly with the many re-
porters who visited her at the Tombs yes
terday. She denied the statements tele-
graphed about her from London, and said
this was case of mistaken identity. She
had never been inside an English prison.
She evaded direct answer to the ques-
ton whether she ever tried to kill herself.
AS to hating the Irish, it was false. She
admired many noble Irishmen, for in
stance, O'Donnell. She hated informers
like Carey and murderers like Rosa.
Her mother was an Irishwoman, and she
loved Ireland as well as England.
Mrs. Dudley sent a letter to Rossa's
lieutenant, Patrick Joyce, yesterday, in
viting him to come and interview her and
be convinced that she was not the English
spy he charged her with being. The prison
officials wouldtsee she did not harm him.
Joyce replied he doubted the propriets of
speaking with her at present Rosa de-
MES that he begged Mrs. Dudley not to
shoot him the second time. He says he
was stunned and did not say anything he
did not realize what had happened Until
the shots had all been fired, and the wom-
an had walked away. The surgeon Gays
Phelan's removal to the New York Hos
pital was not made on account of Rossa's
presence in the Chambers Street HDspi-
tai, but had been decided on several days
ago.
