turned in a strange land, Walter J.

Fisher disappeared from his home on

thereafter he wandered, eating, Bleep

parently governed by a second self.

' 'M, when he awoke from sleep beside

from Havana.
Hu had no recollection of what had
taken place since he had left his home.
i When he tried to talk with men who
gathered about him, some of them were
negroes, and found that they spoke a
strange tongue and could not under
stand him, he believed lie was the vic
tim of a hallucination.
BUI when the word "Cuba" was re
peated often it dawned upon him that
I hu was on that island. He realized he
i must have- traveled to New York or
Ida and taken passage for Cuba,
but how he did not know. After eat

FAMOUS HOAX ON
WOMAN DETECTIVE
Irishmen Weave Mares' Nest for
Female Spy from Scot
land Yard
BIG TALK ABOUT DYNAMITE
'Lady In Black' Finally Unmasked,
to Amusement of Sup
posed Plotters
[B|mcU] Cable to The Herald]
LONDON, May 14.—The "Parnellism
and Crime" confession of Sir Robert
Anderson is recalling to Irishmen a
famous hoax played on a lady detective
employed by Scotland Yard in the
eighties.
Spies were numerous in Ireland in
1884. They posed as "engineers" on a
holiday from the mines of Nevada,
men of wealth and leisure, passing
through Dublin on their way to the
continent, and they were all willing to
devote their knowledge of explosives
and their dollars to the "good old
cause."
The most picturesque figure in this
moving picture was a woman detective
from Scotland Yard. The story of the
hoaxing of madame was told in thp
Dublin journal, Sport, of July 12, 1884.
It was then impossible to give the
names of the hoaxers, but many of
them can now be disclosed.
In May, ISB4, Miss G , a prominent
member of the Ladies' Land league and
a well known novelist, was in London
on a holiday. Among the places she
visited was the house of commons,
where she met with a "Lady in Blai k,"
who afterwards turned out to be an
emissary from Scotland Yard.
A PATRIOT
The lady in black represented her
self to be of considerable wealth, and
her very heart beat in the cause of old
Ireland. This chance acquaintanceship
led to many meetings between the two.
The "Lady in Black" occupied a suite
of rooms in a fashionable London hotel.
After many confidences she expressed
to Miss G her willingness to spend
a portion of her wealth in the purchase
of such toys as clockwork Infernal ma
chines and bags of nitro-glycerine for
the purpose of freeing Ireland.
She returned with the fair Nation
alist novelist to Dublin, where she was
introduced to the late James O'Connor,
M. P. for East Wicklow (who died a
few weeks ago). The "Lady in Black"
received Mr. O'Connor among other
guests in her rooms at a leading hotel.
Prom her questions and answers Mr.
O'Connor became suspicious, and dur
ing her momentary absence from the
sitting room ho picked out every parti
cle of a torn-up telegram which lay in
the grate.
Later, piecing it together, hf found
that the friend of Ireland was no other
than a government spy. Mr. O'Connor
resolved to play off upon the "Lady in
Black" a series of "spoofs." Mysterious
messages from still more mysterious
mythical Individuals were conveyed to
the "Lady in Black" by Mr. O'Connor,
and the services of a medical student
in London were invoked to show the
lady "tec" that in England the same
was Rtill alive, though securely
screened from the too inquisitive gaze
of cither the chief of the criminal in
vestigation department 01 any of the
satellites.
She was persuaded to see one of the
"London branches" for herself, and
presented herself at the chambers of
the medical student. He told her that
to enable some dynamiter to escape he
wanted aome money, and $7."> was paid
to him for this purpose by the "Lady
in Black."
STUDENT WATCHED
Four times the Scotland Yard lady
visited the student. Alter her special
reports of his treasonable golngß-on he
«as systematically watched by a
plain-clothes officer. This officer in
cldi titally got a thrashing from the
■tudent for his interference.
The "Lady in Black" bad mean
while expressed her ambition to be
coma a confidential carrier of dls
patches Of dynamite between Dublin
and Paris or Dublin and New York.
Mr. O'Connor Introduced her to the
late Mr. Fred Gallagher, the editor of
Sport, who vu represented to be Mr.
O'Neill of the "bomb factory at Ca
lais."
The merry conspirators talked K'm
powder pints by the hour; their table
tuik wag of the merits and demerit! "f
schemes —imaginary — to blow up Dub
lin castle, the general pqatofflce, the
house of commons and the home oftlee.
All the "L<ady In Black" desired to dis
cover was who WOUld do these tilings,
and when they would be done.
■For July 2 it was arranged thai the
lady spy should be present at an Inter
view with young Rosaa. A Dublin
doctor personated young Rossa, and
part of the plot was that the lady
Should at nine travel to liOtidon and
attend an Important meeting at the
home of the medical student.
There the veil was lifted, to the de
light of everyone except the lady spy,
whoso next fluty was to report in head
quarters that instead of a nest of
dynamiters she had discovered a
"marc'i n< »U"
