BANKER MORGAN IN
PERIL OF HIS LIFE
Attacked by Crank at Country
Home
ASSAILANT A GERMAN
Financier .nd His Butler Overpowered
Crazed Man After Desperate Fight
In Hallway-Morgan Received Two
Bullet Wounds.

Frank Holt, former Cornell university
instructor, who attempted to assassinate
). +. Morgan at East Isle, Mr.. Morgan's
summer home near Glen Cove, n. Y,
confessed that he was the man who set
the bomb which exploded in the Capitol
at Washington.
Holt, who is undoubtedly insane, went
to Mr.. Morgan's home where he attacked
the banker in the hallway, wounding
hlm twice with 38-caliber pistol He
was finally overpowered by Mr. Morgan
and his butler and lodged i'm the Glen
Cove Jail.
In statement Holt said he had gone
to the Morgan home to persuade the
banker to stop the shipment of munitions
of war from this country to Europe.
He stated that at first he had intended
no harm to the banker
Two revolvers and several sticks of
dynamite were taken from Holt when
he was arrested by the police.
Fortunately Mr.. Morgan's wounds
were not of serious nature and his
physicians say he is in no danger.
The attempted assassination of the
financier created great excitement in
Wall stree when the news of the at
tack was flashed over the wires, but
soon abated when it was learned that
the banker was in no danger
Holt, by his confession and the de-
tailed description of the bomb he used
in the Capitol outrage, stamped himself
as an expert in the use of explosives,
the police assert. Immediately after his
confession was obtained, the chief of
the Washington police, squad of secret
service operators and New York City
detectives and Bertillon and finger print
experts were summoned to Glen Cove.
Belief prevailed that Holt had been
connected with other bomb outrages
which have baffied the police, notably
the finding recently of bomb on tie
grounds of the Andrew Carnegie's Fifth
avenue residence i'm New York CITY.
