subpoena issued by the court testing
the sanity of her husband, listened
to reason on the matter, and to avoid
arrest, arrived here today. In reply
to request for an interview she
simply said that she would not testify
at Harry Thaw's trial.

who was shot twice Saturday at his
home here is now entirely out of dan.

ill, from the loss of blood caused by
the attack of the butler upon him. The

GLENCOvE, July gu. S. Secret
Service men are making an exhaust.
i've investigation into the history OF
the man Holt, who shot Morgan
Searches are being made in all parts
of the country trying to trace the
antecedents of the man. Holt is ex
tremely respondent. It is feared that
if an opportunity presents he will
commit suicide, and precautions have
been taken to remove everything that
would assist him to such an end
BERKELEY, CAL, July 6-Professol
Roy Gittingen, who was fellow in
structor with Holt at the University
of Oklahoma, says that Holt is of pure
German descent. Holt, according to
Gittingen, has spent much time in
Germany and has relatives there. The
man was always noted for his violent
hatreds and his extreme moodiness
The positions he secured on the teach
ing staff of several colleges were
always lost because he could not resist
quarrelling with the other instructors
and because he always got the i'm
preston that he was being treated
unfairly. ..e+
GLENCOVE, July 6.-The efforts
which have been made to identify
Holt as Emil Mventer, an instructor
at Harvard University, who disap.
peared in 1906 after numbering his
wife, have proven unsuccessful.

suicide in his cell today. He asked
for lead pencil, saying he wished to
tracted the rubber from the lead pen
Gil, and chewed the metal holder into
a sharp point With this point he
opened vein in his left wrist, and
had lost much blood when discovered.
J. P Morgan is rapidly recovering
from his wounds, and the attending
physicians now think so lightly of the
matter that they have discontinued
the issuance of bulletins.
GLENCOVE, July 6.-Holt is in bad
condition, and is in danger of dying
because of loss of blood from the
wound he inflicted upon himself to-
day and because of starvation. The
man has refused to eat anything since
he was arrested. The District Attor-
new has had the doctors try to do
everything they could for the man,
but fears that he is about to die. Rela-
tives of Holt have engaged counsel to
represent him, and they have decided
to defend his case on the ground of
insanity.
AUSTIN, Texas, July 6.-Governor
Ferguson announced today that he
would take no action on the request of
the Villa governor of Chihuahua for
the extradition of vid:oriano Huerta,
ex-president of Mexico, unless officially
advised by the department of state
from Washington. Ferguson said that
he was not fully informed concerning
the legality of the request, as he did
not understand that either the Car
rama or the Villa governments in
Mexico had been recognized by the
United States. Until that was done
he could not act on the request as he
did not believe that the Villa official
was a proper person to make such a
demand.
