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

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

1908 and took up some land near
Brownsville, but abandoned it because
l':e could not secure water rights, no
information could be secured f:ere today
of the career of Frank Holt prior
to the time he entered Polytechnic college
in Fort Worth as a student-instructor.
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

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.

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

In the July Woman's Home Companion
Frank A. WVugh writes a very Inj

Opportunities." Among other
i tiMnss .he urges country women to in

out the fuss an 1 worry of special prepj

"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

and butter, a slice of ham from your
j own smoKenouse, a jar or last sum|
