HOLT SOUGHT 10
 BLOW UP LINERS
DYNAMITE PLACED ON STEAM FRS sAxONIA AND pHlLADEL-
 PHlA BEFORE SAILING.
SAYS HOLT WAS MUENTER
History of Erratic Professor Who Took Own Life After Carnival of Crime, Reveals Eccentric Acts.

New York The dead hand of Frank Holt, bomb-maker, would-be as sassin and alleged wife murderer, reached out over the Atlantic and menaced two transatlantic liners with nearly 1000 women, men and children abroad.
 Somewhere on the ocean Holt wrote his wife, the liner Saxonia or the Philadelphia-he was not sure which, would be destroyed. A dynamite bomb containing 30 pounds of explosive which Holt is known to have re- ceived and which has not been ac- counted for is believed by the polics to be the means Holt had chosen to destroy the ship.
 While Holt lay suicide in his cell at Mineola, L. l., where he was taken after his attempt to assassinate J. F. ing over the Atlantic telling of his, threat to blow up a ship and the mys- tery of his life was cleared away with his positive identification as Erich Muenter the alleged wife mur- derer who fled from Harvard Univer. sity in 1906.
 Nothing more dramatic in the last few crowded days of Holts life has come to light than the warning of destruction that was uncovered after his death. His confession that he placed the bomb which damaged the capitol at Washington, his attempted assassination of Mir. Morgan. the grow ing belief that he was Erich Muenter eliminating in his positive identifict- tion-in death-as Muenter and his sensational suicide by leaping 20 fee. from the top of his cell to the floor. formed series of events 10 which the threatened destruction of the Philadelphia or the Saxonia fitted as a startling climax.
 The powerful wireless stations Of the Navy Department were enlisted in the effort to prevent the threatened disaster at sea In answer to the warning there was received a message from the captain of the Philadelphia which said everything aboard hal been identified and that all was well. The Saxonia also found no evidence of a bomb aboard.
 The police learned that Holt had bought 100 Illuminating caps. 100 feet of fuse. 100 electrical explosive caps and POO sticks of dynamite from a To- cal powder company. This order was delivered to Holt af Central Park; Long Island, on June 29.
