THREATENS TO KILL
MORGAN IN REVENGE
Writer of Letter to New Orleans Paper
Asserts that He Was Accomplice
of Muenter- Holt and Will
Finish the Plot.

OF muenteI-HOlt ana VIII
Finish the Plot.
New Orleans, July ia letter re
ceiyed by newspaper here last night
signed "Pearce" declared the writer in
tended to kill j. p. Morgan and Sir Cec
Spring Rice, the British ambassador, ano
finish the work OF Enrich Muenter, who
committed suicide several days ago, aft
er wounding Mr.. Morgan. 1t warned
persons who had friends or relatives
aboard the British steamships Howtb
Head and Baron Napey, which sailed
| from New Orleans July O. with mules
| for the British army, to watch for re-
| ports from those vessels.
The writer declared that it was Mu-
enter who warned passengers on board
the Lusitania before that vessel sailed
from New York that it would be dam
gerous to make the voyage on her. 1t
is also declared that Muenter personal
ly called on Charles Frohman and urged
him not to take passage on the ship
After announcing his intention to kill
Mr.. Morgan to avenge the death of Holt,
the letter writer says:
Holt (Muenter) was my partner and
/ glory in the thought of his comrade-
ship: We worked together ever since
this cursed war began. Holt is gone,
but | am still here, and | am going to
carry on the work the two of us be-
gan. j am going to carry on the work
with redoubled fury.
"rhe statement that Holt intended to
wreck libraries and other such public
buildings is lie. The capitol is the
only building that we planned to wreck,
and We partly succeeded in our plan. But
what we did plan, and what ! am going
to carry out, is the just idea to stop
this country from contributing to the
hellish, barbaric slaughter
across the ocean.
British mule ships are daily leaving
New Orleans laden with livestock for
the enemies of Germany, just as ships |
laden with guns and ammunition TO
slaughter Germans are almost daily !
leaving New York. Therefore, this city |
furnishes promising field for the work |
that lies before me. j may succeed in /
blowing up but one British ship leaving
This portI may succeed in destroying
.en-but ! am going to carry out this
work and whatever achieve will be
to me. And then | will be
'eady for Morgan. And after / get
through with Morgan | will be ready to
hare my pals fate; ! consider it a glo-
ious fate. And Sir Cecil Spring Rice.
DO you want to know whom Muenter
vas after when he went to Glen Cove
Iorgany Partly. The real reason for
.oing TO Glen Cove was Sir Cecil SPRING
Rice we have trailed Spring |
sice for weeks and we are going TO get ,
i'm yet. (
This country considers Muenter bar {
arian-a crank. | knew him in Ger {
lany, | knew him in America. He de-
troyed property and took lives when {
e knew that good would follow never {
therwise. He taught me his principles J
nd as | said before, glory in his lead (
rshp of the past. He stood ready to [
isk mis- own life, 10 save other lives
bat he considered worthy. Why, at the
me the Lusitania sailed on lsr fatal
oyage, do you know who il was that /
armed Vanderbilt, and the rest not to
all on her? Ii was Enrich Muenter.
Ie knew what was going to befall this
ritish liner. He not only sent mes
,ges to a large number of people that !,
e knew were going to sail on the ship, !,
ut he personally appealed to Charles !
not TO make the voyage.
Just as Muenter appealed TO Froh-
an, Vanderbilt, and the others not TO
III on the Lusitania so I now appeal ;
worthy Americans in this country not !
sail on the British mule ships leav-
G this port Remember ! am Muenter's .
ipil and very. very seldom has Mueuter !,
lied. Muenter's methods are my meth. !
Is. ] am working with enough explosi- y
es 10 wreck this whole town. I have u
program to follow: British ships, g
organ. Sir Cecil Spring Rice and then
'livion. Halle failed completely; Mu D
ter succeeded partly; ! am going 20
eceed completely. I am but one among
illions. but | have Muenter's backing -
ID have dynamite.
