danger. II was asserted was from blood
poisoning and this grew less each sue
ceedlng hour.
The physicians. therefore. felt justified
in telling Mr. Morgnn-s family after
their examination OF him today that he
was out Of all danger. For publication

temperature and pulse are normal His

One OF the things that Sheriff Grifen-

was whether Holt had been involved in
the alleged murder OF Mrs. Erich Muen-

university after his wife had died, It was
charged. OF poisoning He was never
found. Former acquaintance of Muen-
ter In Chicago have asserted that pic
lures OF Holt showed marked resem-
blanee to the man they knew as Muen-
ter. These pictures OF Holt. taken after
the shooting OF Mr.. Morgan. showed him
with bandage over his head and this
II was said somewhat handicapped their
efforts TO Identify him positively.
There we're also, II was said. many
striking similarities in the known history
Of Holt and that OF Muenter and. In
addition. many points are yet TO be told
the police about Hollis life. One OF these
points, II was said. related 10 Hoits
