QUESTION IF HOLT
Is WIFE POISONER
Description Only Partly Fits
That Of Erich Muenter
of Harvard.
DENIES HE Is SAME MAN

MiNEoLA, l.. J., July 4.-Dr. Frank
Holt. who shot J. +. Morgan yesterday.
was questioned in his cell in the Nassau
county Jail this afternoon about the be-
lief OF the Boston police that he is Erich
Muenter, formerly an instructor in Ger
man at Harvard University. who disap-
peared shortly after the death. on April
l6. 1906. OF his wife. Mrs. Leonie Muen-
ter, and after 1t had been learned that
she died OF arsenic poisoning.
Holt declared without equivocation
hat he is not Muenter. and said that
the police could easily check up his
antecedents and learn for themselves
that in 1906 he was not at Cambridge.
There are surprising points OF resem-
blance between the two men, and Capt.
| Curley OF the Boston detective bureau
says that newspaper photographs of Holt
and descriptions of the prisoner here
show that the two men are much ALIKE.
Here are descriptions of the two men;
