^MORGAN SAID TO BE OUT OF ALL DANGER IWOUMJED FINANCIER RECEIVES BUSINESS ASSOCIATES AND FRIENDS. i i Holt's Condition Grave?Says He Will Tell tory of Life When Arraigned. Glencove, X. Y., July 5.?Frank Holt, the university professor who shot J. J P. Morgan, declared today that when j ' arraigned Wednesday ire would tell the j I whole s:ory of his life, particularly his movements leading up to the plac* * t- ? _ -Li TT-J : ing or a oomo in me uiinea oiaces, capitol at Washington and his attempted assassination of tMr. Morgan. He will reveal also he said, where he bought the dynamite found on him. Holt made trese- declarations to Dr Guy Clegaorn, jail physician, adding Fthat he was anxious to tell his story i in court. Dr. Cleghorn said, .however, j that Holt was in such a weakened condition that unless he showed decided k improvement by Wednesday he mig':t report it inadvisable to remove him fmm tnp iail at Mineo^a to the court house here. Mr. Morgan, who was shot twice by | Holt last Saturday at the financier's i home near here, continued to improve today?so much so that specialists in attendance announced Ihe was out of all danger. Tonight Mr. Morgan received W. H. Porter, a business associate, and Police Commissioner Ar-1 thur Woods, an old friend of the fam- J ily. Later the two callers said Mr. Morgan appeared in the best of spirits. Holt Grows Weak. The favorable turn in Mr. Morgan's condition was in marked contrast .to that of Holt, the financier's assailant. Holt's condition became so frave that late in the day orders were given that lie was not to be disturbed and that j no one was to be permitted to see IMm i t>ut nis counsel ,ana t?:.e jan pnysician. j Holt helped today to discount. the j theory that he might be Erich Muen-1 ter, the Harvard professor, who disappeared in 1906 after his wife l-ad died, it was charged, of poisoning. Ho<lt declared emphatically that he i never had been in Cambrige, iMass. | Holt told this to T. J. Reidy, a New York lawyer, who visited him and then announced that he had been retained ! 1 as counsel for fc.e prisoner. Holt, ac-| cording to Reidy, said also that he was in <xermany m iyut>. earner in the day he told Sheriff Griffenhagen' that he could not' remember where he i was in that year. ^ Charles J. Wood, assistant district1 I attorney of Nassau county, who said i was in the German department at Harvard in 1905-06, in the same class j with Muenter, visited Holt today and j ttv?? nn{j fV>of Via. u'ae iit?qV?1o tn i^pn-I UlCli ?aiu mai u<^ "i?o ? ?? | tify the prisoner as his classmate.! Wood said that Holt appeared to 'be. i in such a state of utter collapse that, L he thought it best to look at Trim Bl again to satisfy himself that he is orj WL is not his former classmate. Word was received at the jail tonight that tomorrow an officer i? ex-1 h i pected to arrive from Cambridge, j Mass., who can positively identify' Muenter. Suffers From Malnutrition. ^ 'Dr. Cleghorn said Holt was suffer: ing chiefly from lack of nourishment. | He also is suffering from intestinal trouble often associated with an unsound niind, he said. For this reason, the physician said, it may be necessary to postpone the arraignment. But j Holt, the physician added, insists that: "She is all right and wants to tell I-is j whole story at the examination set for \ k Wednesday. L William Hulse, warden of the jail, j substantiates Dr. Cleghorn's statement j 3>y saying that Holt has eaten little since his arrest. Holt Today wrote a letter to his wife at Dallas, Texas, telling her that he did not care to live any longer and I k toped she would "bring the little ones ft up to be God-fearing men and women." ' There was some mystery here today j regarding the identity of the person; ^ or persons who directed Reidy to rep-1 l resent Holt, and in what capacity Allan Pinkerton, representative of a de' ^ tective agency, who appeared here today, is acting. At first Reidy said he had been sent here at the behest of a member of tfcej Cornell university faculty. Later, however, he denied this. Reidy declared he has property in Ithaca and that he knew the prisoner while ti-e latter was i at Cornell. Pinkerton said he was employed by the authorities of Nassau county. Warden Hulse, in the absense of Sheriff Pettit, who left early in the day for California, said Pinkerton was employed by the county "to look up a few little things." District Attorney Smith said, however, he knew nothing of ^ Pinkerton's being employed by ti':e the county. He said he thought he had been employed by the Morgan famI * P His Life a Mystery.

Mr$. Holt, in a statement given out today by her father, 0. F. Sinsabough, declared that she knows virtually nothing of her husband's life before he became her classmate at Fort :Wbrth. | H. A. Boaz, who was president of the Fort Worth institution when Holt was admitted as a student, tonight declared that he entered the college without any recommendations." HOW MRS. MORGAN FOUGHT ASSASSIN Thrilling Account of Overpowering of Desperate Man Is Given By Guest. Washington, July 5.?'Details of the assault on J. P. Morgan in it is summer home at .Clencove, L. I., revealing more clearly than reports previously j published the courage of Mrs. ]V$organ, were told here tonight by an eyewitness, a guest in the Morgan home. When the intruder, la'ter Identified as Frank Holt, forced a servant to stand aside and with a revolver in each hand approach ed Mr. Morgan, his wife threw herself upon Holt, grasping him about the neck and holding him until thrust aside biy her husband. Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador. who had been seated at the breakfast table wi':h Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, assisted in disarming Holt. A ring at the front door first attracted the attention of the breakfast party, according to the witness' story. A man's voice was heard at the doorway, demanding admission to see Mr. i Morgan. The servant said Mr. Morgan would not receive visitors on business at his country home. Then the man drew a pistol and 'brandishing it exclaimed: "I've got another one; you had better show me to Mr. Morgan." Servant Tried Ruse. T? ^ ~ wi. V* i Y-O o cfor in an euwi. ma j-uluoh-i, the servant directed the intruder away from the room where Mr. Morgan was at breakfast, and towards another room. Rushing that way the man, since identified as Holt, found Mr. Morgan's children, at whom he -pointed fcis pistol, as he shouted at the top of his voice: "iMr. Morgan, up stairs!" The party in the breakfast room heard this strange voice and surmised that one of the servants tad become suddenly insane. So the three, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan and Sir Cecil SpringRice, rushed to the central staircase, which they ascended. Sir Cecil 'turning ' " * ?*- ? -3 xr m eastward, wnne -vir. ana .urs. muis?"] ran westward. In the room at the I western end of the fcall and directly above the room where the children had been, Mr. Morgan and his wife found j an old Irish nurse and demanded to know what was the matter, thinking she had made tf:e outcry. Finding that j the old woman knew nothing they turned back to the staircase. At this moment, Holt, who had quitted -the children's room, dashed up the stairway. On seeing Mr. Morgan approaching, he yelled: "I've Got You." "Is that Mr. (Morgan? I've got you." At the same time he leveled both pistols. In an instant Mrs. Morgan had slipped past her husband and thrown herself bodily on ti're man. She clung to him until her husband shoved her aside and himself clasped Holt around the body, pinioning both of his arms :o his sides. rT^1" ?

As the two men swayed in their struggle, Holts' right hand worked a revolver slowly around :o Mr. Mor-| gan's thigh. There was an explosion with tho cmn hnrrp! almn^f against ti.'.P financier's groin. A second shot followed in a moment, but by this time Mr. Morgan had caught Holt's right wrist and deflected the weapon so that fthe shot passed through the fleshy part cf the leg. Then Mr. Morgan forced Holt backward until the assailant fell with a crash flat upon his back upon | the bloodstained floor with his arms extended, t; e financier lying directly over him. A Queer Fall. By some curious turn, as the two men ieu, me nna.m;ier louuu nuuscn lying on his own back directly atop Holt, who was thus pinioned to the floor. The latter had lost the weapon from his right l:and during the struggle, but still clutched the other revolver in his left hand. Then Mrs. Morgan and the Irish nurse cast themselves upon the floor, trying to wrench fc':e pistol from :he intruder's grip. .Sir Cecil Spring-Rice iby this time had reached the scene and he, too, caught at a pistol hand, so that, though they could not release the weapon, *tl-ey at least made sure it could not again be directed at Mr. Morgan. Meanwhile a muffled voice came from beneath Mr. Morgan, weakly crying: "I have a stick of dynamite in my pocket. Take care of it." (The dynamite afterward was found in the pocket. 'Servants then appeared in numbers and foremost among them was one who had picked up a large lump of coal from a scuttle as he ran up the stairs. One smashing blow on t':e head with the -coal subdued Holt; his grip on the pistol relaxed, iblood poured from (his head and he became insensible. In a few moments the servants had him trussed up with ropes. Meanwhile Mr. iMorgan had struggled to his feet, bleeding profusely. He walked to a telephone and called his office in New York. ' "I've been shot through the stom ach," he said, "when answered. "Get the best doctor you can." Then he was induced to lie down and was undressed, revealing a second wound in 11. e leg of which he had 'been unconscious-. Physicians were soon on the scene and after a preliminary examination directed that a search be made for the bullets. Both were found in the hallway, thus assuring the p&ysieians that there was no necessity for probing. It also was ascertained -a': at the wound in the abdomen was almost superficial, the bullet having traveled clear across , the stomach under the skin, but without penetrating ;.he thick wall of protecting muscles. . - - 1 Country Women Should >'ot Ape City Women. In the July Woman's Home Companion Frank A. WVugh writes a very Inj teresting article on "The Country Woman's Opportunities." Among other i tiMnss .he urges country women to in | vite their fiends to eat with them | whatever they happen to nave; withj out the fuss an 1 worry of special prepj aration. On tills subject he says: "I shall be sorry to see t?e day when the country woman thinks she must give a guest grapefruit with scalloped edges, and salads made after am embroidery pattern. Potatoes, boiled with :heir jackets on, and eaten with salt and butter, a slice of ham from your j own smoKenouse, a jar or last sum| mer's preserves, a loaf of homemade j bread and a pitcher of milk form a | meal that any country woman can ofj fer a guest, with a minimum of labor i and a maximum of pleasure for the i guest.
