Frank Holt. the former Cornell
university professor, who attempted
to assassinate Mr.. Morgan. was a
wreck in the police station here to-
night after he had confessed to plac-
ing in the capitol at Washington the
bomb which exploded there last
night He huddled back in corner
in his cell breathing hard and ap-
parently comatose. But the detec-
= tives refused to let him rest. They
dragged him out Of the corridor with
a man on each side to support him
and walked him up and down until
his stumbling feet dragged l1stiessly
over the flooring.
Then they would sit him down and
surround him. They pumped ques-
tions at him SO rapidly that at times
his talf audible answers were inter
rupted by succeeding questions
And still he refused to answer what
he did not wish to answer. They let
him rest few moments and when
he refused to answer pulled him again
and once more began the tedious
promenade the length of the corridor.
talking to him all the time.
After two hours of this treatment
Holt wilted and replied wearily to
the questions. Apparently he was
close to exhaustion and the wound
over his eye was botherfng him.
Has No Accomplices.
Holt declared that he had no ac-
completes, that he alone had planned
and executed the bomb explosion In
washin gton and the attempt on Mr.
Morgan's life.
Where did you buy the dyna-
mite?" was demanded.
There was no answer. The detec-
tives caught his arm. dragged him to
an upright position and began again
on their walk.
Coupled with Other Outrages.
Holt by his confession and the de-
tailed description of the bomb he
used IN the capitol outrage stamped
himself as an expert in the use of ex-
plosfves. the police assert. 1mmedi-
