Mineola, n. Y, July / Pro.
fessor Holt, the man who shot
John Pierpont Morgan, succeed
ed in committing suicide last
night in his cell but the manner
in which ne managed TO take his
life remains something of
mystery. An autopsy shows that
the skull was fractured and that
a hcmmorrhagc followed but
whether the fracture was caused
by an explosion or by a fall has
not been cleared up. The Off
cials claim that ne climbed to the
transom and let himself drop ON
his head on a cement floor, but
the guard who was only fifteen
feet away from the spot says he
heard an explosion Just before
the body was found. Just pre-
vious to the act Of self dcsuuc-
ton Holt was cheerful and wrote
Ia letter Of farewell to his wife.
The report has been circulated
that he chewcd a percussion cap
and by that means caused his
death, but this report has been
denied by the officials. On the
day before he tried suicide by
iabbing the point Of a pencil into
his arm.
