 Examine Left Over Packages.
 Detectives today examined all the left over packages on the piers of the American and Cunard lines but none of them seemed to tally with q de- scription of the dynamite bomb that they were working on. The police do not think the bomb, if it was sent, was dispatched by parcel post.

 Woods Ruse Frustrated. @
 A ruse of Police Comrnissioner Woods which he intended to spring Oh Holt today was frustrated by the sui- eide of the college instructor. The commissi had planned to tell Holt that steamship had been blown up at sea. He believed in this way he could draw Holt out and learn from him the name of the vessel and de- scription of the bomb he is reported to have sent
 It was ascertained today that Holt left Ithaca on June 8 with the sul- phuric acid that he used in the bomb that he exploded at the capitol at Washington. The acid was pur- chased in an Ithaca pharmacy on State street.
 Leaped From Top of Cen.
 An autopsy early today established the fact that Holt committed suicide by leaping from the top of his cell door in the Mineola, L. Il, jail, while the keepers back was turned last night.
 Walter R. Jones, the Mineola cor oner, issued statement after an au- topsy had been performed by the prison physician. He said: Holt came to his death by a compound fracture of the skull and cerebral hemorrhage caused by fall.,'
 Holt's suicide followed closely upon the discovery of evidence tending to confirm the suspicion that he was Enrich Muenter, the former Harvard instructor who was accused of poison ing his wife in 1906. This was the day set for Holt's preliminary ar raignment on the charge of shooting MT. Morgan.
 Investigation was in progress today to ascertain whether his suicide was due to negligence of any. jail official. The shipment to New York of Holt's trunk containing dynamite enough to destroy a city block was also the sub- ject of inquiry. Police officials in spected the cottage at Central Park, IL. F., where Holt spent two weeks conducting experiments in the manu- facture of internal machines and in target practice with a revolver.
