MORGAN's AssAILANT DEAD
Mystery Surrounds the Death Of Frank
Holt the FormeII Cornell In
structor, In Jail.

Minneola, N. Y.-Frank Holt, the
Cornell University professor, who
shot ]. p Morgan in his home near
Glen Cove, July 3, was found dead in
the jail on the night of July 6.
While several of the jail authori-
ties declare Holt killed himself by
climbing through the opening at the
top Of his cell door and then plunging
to the narrow court below, Hollis
keeper said he was positive that the
prisoner was killed in his own cell,
where he said he found the body,
There we're many conflicting reports
as to the manner in which Holt met
his death, but 1t was definitely estab-
lished through Dr. Cleghorn, the jail
physician. that Holt died of a tract
ured skull. A persistent rumor pre-
walls he was shot from a point out.
side the Jail.
One Of the startling developments
of the case was the discovery made
by the New York police. A trunk con.
tanning 1874 sticks of dynamite, with
fuses attached, was found by the po.
lice in a house at No. 942 West Thirty
eighth street. The police said 1t was
sent there by Frank Holt, and that 1t
arrived July 8. The dynamite was
packed in sawdust
The trunk was delivered by a New
York transfer company, and the bill
Of lading was made out in the name
Of Frank Holt. 1t was found on the
top floor of a f1ve-story building.
Besides the dynamite the trunk
contained a number of tin cans, box
of blasting caps and powder, some
sulphuric acid and matches.
Mr.. Morgan was shot twice on July
3 at his country home near Glen Cove.
He is now out of danger
Both shots took effect in the region
of the hip. A bulletin, issued by spe-
cialists at his bedside, stated that
there were no urfavorable symptoms
and that Mr.. Morgan was resting cas-
lily.
Holt was overpowered by Morgan
and Henry Fiske, the butler In the
Morgan household, who grappled with
him in the hallway. He was locked up
in jail here and from his cell issued a
written statement, saying that he had
intended no harm to Mr.. Morgan, but
had come to Glen Cove to persuade
the banker to stop the shipment
abroad OF munitions Of war In this
country. He went into the Morgan
home, he said, with . pistol in his
hand and a stick OF dynamite In his
pocket, intending to remain there till
Mr.. Morgan did something"
Another loaded pistol was found in
Hollis pocket and more dynamite was
In suit case which ne had taken to
the Morgan house. In addition, there
were numerous newspaper clippings in
the suit case, all bearing on the Euro
pean war.
Holt is a native American. He has
taught languages at Vanderbilt. Okla

leges. He was to have become the

TIT FOR TAT.

There was once upon time an ola
lady who rented furnished villa for
the summer and with the villa large
dog also went.
In the sitting room of the villa there
was a comfortable armchair The ole
lady liked this chair better than any
other in the house. She always made
for it the first thing. But alas, she
nearly always found the chair occupied
by the large dog.
Beinv afraid of the dog, she never
dared bid it harshly to get out of the
chair, as she feared that it might bite
her, but instead she would go to the.
window and call cats
Then the dog would rush to the win
dow and bark and the old lady would
slip into the vacant chair quietly.
One day the dog entered the room
and found the old lady in possession Of
the chair. He strolled over to the
window and, looking out, appeared
much excited and set up a tremendous
barking.
The old lady arose and hastened to
the window to see what was the mat
ter, and the dog quietly climbed into
the chair.
