For the last year he has been an

He admits that since the war started
he has taken a furious interest In the
matter Of sending arm and ammuni-
tions to the Powers arrayed against
Germany. He said last evening that be-

He told Assistant District Attorney
Weeks that he came to New York from
ithaca about ten days & and regis
tered at the Mills Hotel No. 8. Seventh
avenue and Thirty-sixth street. He
would have the authorities believe yes
terday hat he had never been out Of
New York since arriving at the Mills
Hotel, but II was learned that he had
not been at the hotel on Friday or
Friday night n this discovery led
partly to mis- confession that he had
gone to Washington to explode the bomb
which destroyed q part of the Senate
wing.
Encouraged possibly by his ability to
Get of a bomb In the Capitol and escape
arrest or detection, he returned to New
York early yesterday morning and
boarded the first available train out of
The Pennsylvania Depot over the Long
Island Railroad to Glen Cove. This
train arrived at Glen Cove at 1853 A. NJ.
The instant Holt stepped to the plat

feurs who let their automobile hacks to
visitors recognized, him as the same man
who had visited Glen Cov on Thursday
afternoon last and who had been driven
to the Morgan grounds on East Island
by Matthew Kramer. a chauffeur who
works for Myron r. Ford. the driver
who took Holt to the Morgan home yes
terday morning.
Interested in Houses.
On Thursday. Kramer said. Holt APP
preached him and asked TO be. driven
to the ]. r. Morgan house. He re-
marked casually that he was a visitor
interested in handsome country places
and wanted to see how, fine Mr.. Nor
gan's house was. Kramer took him as
FAR AZ the entrance gate. where he
stepped out. glanced toward the front Of
the house and over the grounds and then

II is absolutely certain that he took
the opportunity in this and other ways
to familiarize himself in every way pos
sible with the lay Of the grounds and
with the identity OF such of Mr.. Nor
gan's servants as he might expect to
meet. He knew Mr.. Morgan's chauffeur.
Hiram Campbell. by sight. and was OIL
the lookout for Campbell yesterday.
Others of the servants he had inspected
carefully.
Frederick Ford, owner of the line of
motor cars which serves Glen Cove
visitors. was standing by the little car
which bears a name the same as his
own. when Holt, with his peering eyes
and stopped shoulders. slouched up to
him yesterday morning and asked to be
driven to the Morgan home. Ford saw
hat the man was well dressed. although
not particularly neat. and had no sus-
picion, of course, that his passenger had
other than "A legitimate business errand.
Before the car started for East Island
Holt asked Ford II he might sit In the
drivers seat.
II can see the country better II I sit
with YOU" he remarked. Besides, I
believe hat Mr.. Morgan Is starting for
New York city this morning n I don't
know whether he intends to use his
yacht. the Corsair. or go by train. Prob
ably he will 60 by train. DO you know
Hiram Campbell. Mr.. Morgan's chauf-
feur?"
Ford replied that he knew Campbell

Planned Leap Into Car.
That's good" said Holt. I'VE may
meet Mr.. Morgan's automobile along the
road. II we do l want you to throw my
suitcase into Mr.. Morgan's car and l
will Jump in myself. I'm an old friend
OF Mr.. Morgan's and he won't think
anything of II. Old friends are allowed
unusual privileges"
That placed In Ford's mind the hrst
faint suspicion that his passenger was
q person who needed watching. The
driver couldn't do anything precipitate,
He had nothing to go on. The car turned
from the Glen Cove road past the Will

which used to he owned by Charles A,
Dana, and turned on TO the long. con-
crete bridge which spans the estuary
from the Sound, Dosorls Pond, an ex-
tent Of shallow water and swampy
ground which cuts the Morgan estate on
Peacock Point, East Island, from the
mainland.
Within plain sight was the home OF
George F. Baker, to the east OF Mr..
Morgan's place. over beyond tine hills
TO the south was the Percy Chubb place
and the car had just spun through the
beautiful extent Of ground held by the
Pratt family of Brooklyn.
As the motor car began to cross the
bridge, which was being repaired. and
slowed down to make the narrow, tenn
porary roadway. Holt climbed back
