Holt Not Insane.
"He's n nut" said one Of them, "and
perhaps a bit peculiar, but he is not
insane. He realizes fully that he was
not doing right. He was carrying the
German idea to its logical conclusion:
His idea was to do this thing, even II
il cost him his life by doing so, for
that would make him a martyr for the
Fatherland. That's he whole case IN
a nutshell
Earlier in the day Warden Sults
brought DR.. G. F. Kleghorne, the. jail
physician, on the run to the prison.
When Holt was called he acted in a
manner best described as "dopey," and
refused to eat any breakfast Hults
thought there was a fair chance that
he had in some way hidden poison IN
his clothes and was taking no chances
on having such prisoner commit SUI
eide on his hands.
Dr.. Kleghorne, however, found no
signs of poison. The man, he said, was
exhausted by the events of the previ-
Gus day and suffering from the beating
he had received in the Morgan house.
"If he had any poison on him now
he is wonder, for he has been
searched eighteen times so far. If you
think there is a chance of that, strip
him and put him in overalls," said DR..
Kleghorn.
Hults. however, decided that he
would take no chances on the man
making away with himself, especially
as in the letter to his father-in-law he
had expressed the wish TO die, so after
his visitors left, special guard watched
his cell during the night.
The intelligence of the man was re-
marked by all who saw him. Director
Pullman was especially impressed with
