Holt Makes Statement.
During the afternoon, the prisoner
prepared a statement, which reads:
"My motive in coming here was to
try to force Mr. Morgan to use his
influence with the manufacturers Of
munitions in the United with the
millionaires who are financing the
war loans to have an embargo put on
shipments of war munitions. SO as to
relieve the American people from
completely in the death of thousands
of our European brothers.
l eff Germany should be able to buy
munitions here we would, of course,
positively refuse to sell to her.
"The reason that the American peo-
pie have not as yet stopped the ship
ments seems to be that we are get
ing rich out of this traffic; but we
do not get enough prosperity out of
non contraband shipments, and
would it not be better for us to make
what money we can without causing
the slaughter of thousands of Euro
peans?
Morgan Could Stop War.
VI am very sorry that I had to
cause the Morgan family this unpleas-
antness. but believe that if Mr.. Nor
gan will put his shoulder to the
wheel he could accomplish what l
have endeavored to do. Of course. l
did not want to injure Mr.. Morgan.
as wanted him to do the work
could not do. l hope that he will do
his share, anyhow We must stop
our participation in the killing OF
| Europeans, and God will take care
of the rest.
