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.
A big military pageant, athletic con?
tests and fireworks tonight were in?
cluded in the list of special events.
"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.
