Judge Cockreil, her attorney, today
explained that he had withheld the
portion of Hollis letter yesterday con-
corning the ship bomb, considering 1t
confidential, while he notified Solicitor
Con Johnson of the state department,
who is Texan.
In this message Cockrell said none
of us believe he had any accomplices'
and pointed to the family's conviction
of Hollis insanity. Cockrell said this
afternoon the letter contained nothing
concerning plots aside from the capitol
bombing, the Morgan hostage plan and
the ship explosion.

ury Only few years ago the motor
car was wholly luxury, and costly
one. Today 1t Is within easy reach OF
the average farmers pocketbook, and
it's cost of maintenance is light. If a
farmer, or any other automobile own
er, looks after his own repairs 1t will
cost him less to drive car than to
maintain driving team.

Hol. and Muenter the Same.

CHICAGO, July Chester Nathan

identified Frank Holt, who shot j F..

appeared from Cambridge following
the poisoning of his wife while he
was. a member of the Harvard facul-
ty in 1906. Prof. Gould was Intimate

German Instructors office at Cornell
university last November. paid lit
tie attention to him at first. We were
together only a few moments. AS i
left he asked me how Cutting and
Allen were getting on. Git was explcfn-
ed that Cutting and Allen are Prof.
Starr Cutting and Phillip S. Allen,
both of whom knew Muenter.) Holt
told me he did not know Cutting and
Allen, but had heard of them.
Later while talking with some of
the Cornell professors asked about

A. Leroy Andrews in whose home
the conversation occurred said Holt
was peculiar and hard to understand.

manner of speech reminded me Of
some one. Then 1t flashed over me
that it was Muenter.

to face and alone. He said looking
straight at me, Hello Could.
81 must have shown by my agita-
ton that / recognized him, but he
paid no attention Several times he
sought me out to talk with me on sub
jects that were obviously trumped up
merely for the purpose of letting me
see him. The more I saw of him the
more reason had to know L had
made no mistake in his identity
AT first / felt nervous. / feel now,
however, that in his state of paranoi-
cal exaltation, he had entire conf
dence in his incognito.
II decided for several reasons not
to expose him. He appeared to be
making an effort to start lie anew.
There was never any evidence that
he had poisoned his first wife. He
had another wife and two children
living. This put very grave respon-
sibility on me. Everything I knew
about Muenter was good except the
unproven Flint that he had poisoned
his first WIFE,"

MEMPHIS Mo-, June 16.--Mre last
night destroyed the $4,000 ice plant
in this city, owned by T. H. Weiener
and his son. John Weigner. The fire
started at two o'clock in the coal bins
adjacent to the boiler room. Molecu-
lar friction Of coal dust gas is sup
posed to have caused the fire.
The flames spread rapidly from the
coal bins to the other parts of the
frame buildings. The IRE company,
having no apparatus with which to
fight the fire, was unable to cheuk
the progress Of the flames and IT,.
buildings burned to the ground.
The loss was only partly covered
by insurance, the total amount being
$4,000.
The plant was shut down at
o'clock Tuesday evening and there
was no one in the building at the
time of the fire. Shortly after the
fire broke out there was series of
explosions in the ammonia tanks In the
refrigerating department. No one,
however, was injured by the explo-
sions.
The plant was in operation its sec
ond year. 1t had capacity of six
tons every twenty-four hours. 1t was
located near the depot by the rail-
road tracks. The owners Of the plant
have not decided whether they will
rebuild the plant this summer.
