FRANK HOLT COMMITS
SUICIDE IN JAIL
AsSailant of j. P. Morgan
Takes Advantage of
Guards Absence.
And Plunges Headfirst to Court Below
Fracturing his Skull and Dying
almost Instantly.

Frank Holt, the Cornell university
professor who shot J. Pierpont Nor
gan at his home near Glencove, N.
Y, last Sunday, and the man who
planted the bomb in the senate recep-
tion room Of the national capitol last
Friday, committed suicide in the Jail
at Mineola, N. Y, last Tuesday night.
There were conflicting reports con-
cerning the manner in which Holt met
his death, but the common theory is
that he climbed through the opening
at the top Of his cell and plunged to
the narrow court below. DR.. Cleg-
horn the Jail physician stated definite
ly that Holt died of a fractured
skull.
That Holt contemplated suicide is
evident from a letter found in his
cell after his death, presumably in
tended for his wife and children, as
follows:
my Dears: l must write to you
once more. The more l think about
it the more | see the utter uselessness
of living under these circumstances.
Bring up the dear babies in fear of
God and man. Goodbye, my sweet,
(Signed) Affectionately, Frank.
New York, July IA trunk con-
tanning 1874 sticks of dynamite with
fuses attached was found by the po-
lice late tonight in a house at No.
942 West Thirty eighth street. The
police said it was sent there by Frank
Holt and that it arrived three days
ago.
The dynamite was packed in saw
dust.
The trunk was delivered by New
York transfer company and the bill
of lading was made out in the name
of Frank Holt. 1t was found on the
top floor of a five story building.
Beside the dynamite the trunk con-
tained number Of tin cans, a box
of blasting caps and powder, some
acid and matches.
Later the police received word
from Warden Hulse of the Mineola
Jail that Holt had admitted that he
was the owner of 200 sticks of dyna-
mite received at Syossett, L. l., last
week.
Holt, according to Hulse, received
the dynamite shipment, under the
name of Hendrick and then took it to
a small house near Central Park, l.. l.,
where he proceeded "to experiment
with it."

And Breaks Winning Streak
of Team of Fast Ones"

latka baseball team began series
of three games with the fast Live

been having a streak of uninterrupt-
ed luck; it had played Is games with
some of the best teams in the state
and had won every one of them.
Their luck was broken in Palatka,
when the home team won the first
game in a score of three to one.
This was a beautiful game, abound
ing in brilliant plays both on the part
of the visitors and the home team.

Live Oak each made home runs.

and Shields for the visiting nine

SECRETARY GRACE"
Of INTERLACHEN
Florida Christian Endeavor
Worker Boosts Children's
Home Society.

The Palatka News is going to let
the Tampa Tribune tell what this Put
nam county worker in the field of
Christian Endeavor has been doing.
Secretary Grace Townsend is a
home girl and like other 'proph-
ets," the honors which are coming 10
her through the Florida press will
have greater weight than were the
same nice things said by her home ed
itor.
The Tampa Tribune of Wednesday
contained the following editorial men
ton of Miss Townsend and her work
for God and Home and Native
Land"
For many years The Tribune has
been printing every Sunday a brief
but newsy article giving the Chris
tian Endeavor news of the week.
These articles are always interesting
and they are eagerly read by those
enlisted in the work of Christianity.
The author Of these articles is
Grace Z. Townsend, of Interlachen,
the secretary Of the Christian Endea-
vor Societies of Florida. Whatever
the season or the circumstances, she
never fails to seld out the story.
Recently the Christian Endeavorers
of Florida have raised S1,072, which
has been given the Children's Home
Society to aid in its work. With
this money, the society has provided
for 101 homeless, orphan and needy
children for the past five months.
Secretary Grace" has been a hard
worker in raising this fund and
leaflet issued by the society a few
days ago prints the picture and. has
the following to say about this good
woman:
ITO no other person in Florida does
the Children's Home Society of Flor
ida owe a greater debt of gratitude
for everlasting boosting our great
work than to our much beloved sec
retary, Grace Townsend, of Inter
lachen, and we believe that a big
debt of gratitude is due Secretary
Grace" from every Endeavorer in
Florida. for her earnest and untirinC
efforts to push the C. E. work every
where and alwawyS. We are proud
to have Secretary Grace" as our
Chief C. E. Booster in Florida and
may God bless her."

DEATH COMES SUDDENLY
TOMRS.F. COCHRANE
In a San Diego, California,
Hospital last Tuesday.

Mrs. Mary C. Cochrane, widow of
the late F. C. Cochrane of this city,
died suddenly in a San Diego, Cali
fornia, hospital last Tuesday. Rel
atives in this city received announce
ment of her death early Wednesday
morning, but the exact time of death
was not stated, nor any particulars
regarding the disposition of the body.
Mrs. Cochrane left Palatka for a
trip to California on Monday of last
week, and at the time of leaving
here was in particularly happy and
cheerful frame of mind. She was
looking unusually well. She expect
ed to meet her brother in Oklahoma
and he and his family were to go on
with her to California. They met
instead at Kansas City, and contin-
ued the journey together. Relatives
here do not know any particulars of
her illness.
Mrs. Cochrane will probably be best
remembered as Mrs. Edwin Kirby,
the name of her first husband, and
with whom she lived for a time on
their grove property at Mt. Royal, up
the river near Welaka, before coming
to this city where Mr.. Kirby served
many years and until his death in
August, 1906, as assistant postmaster
of Palatka.
Several years after Mr.. Kirbv's
death she married Mr.. F. C. Coch-
rane, one of Palatka's leading whole
sale merchants. Mr. Cochrane died
last year.
The deceased lady was very popu-
lar socially in Palatka and announce
ment of her death has been a great
shock to her friends.
Her brother was with her at the
time of death, and when he sent his
telegram to Palatka, had not made up
his mind whether to send the body
here, or to Mexico, N. Y, where she
resided before coming to Florida and
where her parents are buried.
Mrs. Kirby is survived by two
brothers, one residing at Tusla, Ok
lahoma, and one at Pittsburg, Pa.
Her two step-sons, Messrs. Nor
ris and Fred Cochrane are connected
with the Cochrane Company in this
city, and step-daughter, Miss Helen
Cochrane, is student in Brenau Col
lege, Gainesville, Ga.

Negro Died from Wounds.

Justice John E. Marshall held an
Inquest on Wednesday morning over
the body of Robert Ingraham, a COL
ored man who died on Tuesday from
complications due to wounds received
in fight on the morning of June
25th with Wesley Gooden, another
colored man.
Both were employees of the Wilson
mill; on the morning when the quar-
rel took place IAgrham hit Gooden
over the head with a cold chisel, in
flicting a bad scalp wound. 1t was
then that Gooden flashed knife and
stabbed lngraham in the shoulder.
Both were wounded and gave up the
fight; then they came together to DR..
Stems Office and had their wounds
dressed; it was while they were in
the doctors Office that they made up
their quarrel; after their wounds
were dressed both returned to work,
but later in the day Ingraham was
compelled to quit and 90 home. He
has been i'll since; blood poison and
other complications set in.
The jury composed of f. T. Lam
caster, W. NJ. Notes, J. C. Wilroy, S.
c. Gross, A. G. Phillips and A. L.
Rogers, after listening to testimony.
returned a verdict that death was
caused by complications resulting
from wounds inflicted by one Wesley
Gooden on June 25th, and that we
further find that said Wesley Gooden
acted entirely in self-defense."

Mr.. GelvertOn's Branch,

J. H. Yelverton Jr., Palatka's big
house furnisher. now has a "branch"
store in the building formerly occu-
pied by Gerber, opposite the Arling-
ton hotel. Rather than call it a
branch, The News prefers to say that
Mr.. Yelverton now has two stores,
which he needed to care for his rapid
ly growing business. The new store
is elegant, and you will admit all
this by simply looking through it.
Maurice Lamon is in charge.
