HOW ASSAILANT WAS CAUGHT EYE-WITNESS TELLS OF ATTACK ON MORGAN AM) HOW WIFE CAME TO HIS AID. Desperate Struggle with Holt Hcfore Bio Wus Rendered I'noonscious and* Could Ik? Hound?Wounds to Fin? ancier Fall to Stop IHin. - 1 Washington, July 6.?Details of the assault on J. P. Morgan in his sum? mer home at Olencove, L?. I., reveal? ing more clearly than reports pre* [rfously published the courage of Mrs. Morgan, were told here tonight by un eyewitness, a guest in the Mor? gan home. When the intruder, later identified as Frank Holt, forced a servant to stand aside and with a revolver in each hand approached Mr. Morgan, his wife threw herself upon Holt, grasping him about the neck and holding him until thrust aside by her husband. Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador, who had been seated at the oreakfast table with Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, assisted in.dls-' arming Holt. y A ring at the front door first gt-j, traded the attention of the break? fast party, according to the witness' story. A man's voice was heard at the doorway, demanding admission VP see Mr. Morgan. The servant said rMr. Morgan would not receive visi? tors, on business at his country home. Then the man drew a ( pistol and I brandishing it exclaimed: ? -"I've got another one; you had J-bWer show me to Mr. Morgan;" In an effort to protect his master, the servant directed the intruder away from the room where Mr. Mor? gan was at breakfast, and towards | another room. Rushing that way the Blah, since identified as Holt, found Mr. Morgan's children, at whom he pointed his pistol, as he shouted >a!t the top of his voice: \ K? "Mr. Morgan, up stairs!" H Jhe party in the breakfast rofth rd this strange voice and *wT? mlsed that one of the servants had become suddenly Insane. So the three, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan and Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, rushed to the central staircase, which they a tended, "Sir Ceclf turning eastward, while Mr. hfm Mrs. Morgan ran westward. %Jn tho room at the western end of,the hHl| and directly above the room Where the children had been, Mr. Morgan and his wife found an qld Irish nurse and demanded to ki^pw what was the matter, thinking she had made the outcry. Finding that the old woman knew nothing they turned back to the staircase. At this moment Holt, who had quit? ted the children's room, dashed up the stairway. On seeing Mr. Morgan approaching, he yelled: "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 the man. She clung to him until her husband shoved her aside and himself clasped Holt ;around the body, pinioning both of I > *\ his arms at his sides. There was a desperate struggle be? tween the stalwart financier and his wiry and frenzied assailant. Mrs. Morgan, crowded into the back? ground, kept trying desperately to reach one of Holt's pistol hands. As the two men swayed in bheir struggle, Holt's right hand worked a revolver slowly around to Mr. Mor? gans' thigh. There was an explosion with the gunbarrel almost against the 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 the shot passed through, the fleshy part of the leg. Then Mr. Mor? gan forced Holt backward until the assailant fell with a crash fiat upon his back upon the bloodstained floor with his arms extended, the financier lying directly over him. By some curious turn, as the two men fell, the financier found himself lying on his own back directly atop Holt who was thus pinioned to the floor. The latter had lost the^ wea? pon from his right hand during the struggle, but still clutched the other revolver In his left hind. Then Mrs. Morgan' and the Irish nurse cast themselves upon the floor, trying to wrench the pistol from the Intruder's grip. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice by this time had reached the scene ? dnhe, too, caught at a pistol hand, so that, though' they could not release i the* weapon, they at least mat|e sure that 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 MMHt* Servants then appeared In "numbers jind 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 the head with the coal subdued Holt; his grip on the pistol relaxed, blood poured from his head and he became insensible. In a few moments the ser vanta hud him trussed up with ropes. Meanwhile Mr. Morgan 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 He down and was undressed, revealing a sec? ond wound in the leg of which he had been unconscious. Physicians were Soon on the scene and after a prelim? inary examination directed that a search be made for the bullets. Both were found in the hallway, thus as? suring the physicians that there was no necessity for probing. It also was ascertained that the wound in the abdomen was almost superficial, the bullet having traveled clear across the stomach under the skin, but without penetrating the thick wall of "protect? ing muscles. BRYAN'S LARGEST CROWD. Speaks on Universal Peace at 'Frisco Exposition. San Francisco, July 5.?An oration by William Jennings Bryan on "Uni? versal P.eace" was the feature of the programme arranged for the third and concluding day's Independence cele? bration today at the Panama-Pacilic Exposition.

"I knew of no better way to cele? brate this day than to consider with you the work that lies before us," Mr. Bryan said. He declared that the precedents of history are largely on the side of property, and if the Unit? ed States is to lead the world in the advance toward economic peace it must be guided by the principle that human rights come first. "We cannot woo the world away from its woes by mental processes," he said, discussing the international situation. They lack the warmth the present demands. "The heart, overflowing with sym? pathy and animated by good will? this and this only?is equal to the delicate and difficult task for which a great nation has prepared itself." His audience, he said, was the larg? est he ever had addressed. Exposi? tion officials announced 122,000 admis? sions at 2 P. M. Bandits in Chicago.
