Cornell university professor, who shot
J. p. Morgan In his home near Glen
Cove, on July 3, committed suicide in
the jail here Tuesday night.
While several of the Jail authori-
ties declared that Holt killed himself
by climbing through the opening at
the top of his cell door and then
plungIng to the narrow court below,
Hollis keeper said he was positive
that the prisoner was killed in his
own cell. where he said he found the
body.
There were many conflicting re-
ports as to the manner in which Holt
met his death, but 1t was definitely
established through DR.. Cleghorn, the
jail physician. that Holt died of a
fractured skull
Keeper Organ declared that Holt
appeared unusually cheerful early in
the evening. He couldn't understand
why Holt should write letter which
was found after his death, In which
Holt addressed presumably his wife
and children as follows:
"My Dears-I must write to YOU

ness of living under these circum
stances Bring up the dear babies IL
