Room.

Asylum at Middletown.

New YORK, July 2.-One of the most ex-
citing scenes witnessed in a court in this city
for many years occurred today just before
Yseult Dudley was committed, While the
judge and counsel were considering what
disposition to make of the case, a delicate
and black eyed woman, attired in blue and
Dlaek checked dress, and wearing Saucy
looking white bonnet, rushed by the door
keeper. Her face was flushed, and her
hands trembled. Captain Dinsley of the po-
lice force tried to catch her. but she eluded
his grasp and managed to get inside the rail-
ing. Judge Gildersleeve stood up quick as a
flash, and District Attorney Martin and his
assistants turned round and faced the wo-
man. All eyes in court were upon her. The
woman'S right hand was raised, and with the
other hand she parried the gentler efforts of
the court officer to take hold of her. The eX-
cltement was intense The coolest man in
the court was Lawyer HAVE, who, with his
hands thrust in his trousers pockets, stood
two PAGES away from the woman, wearing a
smile upon his face.

formed a ring.

The court was then in an uproar. Half a
dozen officers were rapping for order. All
the reporters were standing up on chars and
the woman was shrieking at the top of her
voice. 4seult Dudley sat silent and unmoved
during the trade and smiled when the Off
GERS elected the woman.

sides at No % Spring street. She is mar
ried. She was taken to the Tombs and re-
manded until this afternoon for examination

When the excitement had subsidized, Judge
Gildersleeve, District Attorney MARITIME and
his assistant, and Mrs. Dudley'S lawyer held
whispered consultation. BY and BY they
spoke in loud tones. There was disagree

district attorney walked over to the reporters
and announced the matter was settled. ''She
has been sent to the state asylum at Middle

Mrs. Dudley be sent to the Auburn asylum.
He thought his views should prevail
