Long Island) courthouse tomorrow in
order to give to the New York police
all the available information which the
Washington detectives have gathered.
VITA especial reference 10 the dyna-
mite feature of Hollis ouIrages.
The New York detectives are ex-
tremely anxious to learn where Holt
obtained his dynamite, and this Bit of
information has been carefully htld
secret by the prisoner me New York
laws are stringent against the SAFE Of
dynamite to any except those legally
authorized and entitled to use 1t in a
legitimate manner. and recurring bomb
outrages in New York city have shown
the authorities there that it is not at
number of sticks" near enough to New
York to carry them there.
Maj. Pullman intends to telephone to
Police Commissioner Woods in New
York city late this afternoon to ind

Hollis case he has had to prove, al
most. that he was in Washington at
all. His vague memory and wagner de-
scriptions of the neighborhoods he Wis
tied made it hard matter to get any
trace OF him at all. He said that when
he left the Union station he crossed
no car tracks in arriving at the house
where he got a room, and in reality to
get to 107 D street northeast, where
his photograph was quickly and posi-
lively identified, he had to cross tracks

Another striking feature of the house
which he absolutely overlooked was
the fact that 1t is over lunchroom
with a large plate glass front and
prominent signs.
Spotting the House.
One Of the directions he gave as to
the rooming house was that the place

told now that the house where he &C.

who owned 1t disclaimed having seen
Holt AS a matter of fact, Holt dealt
with Mrs. McCord. wife Of the proprie-
tor. and she saw him only for a few
minutes. She told the detectives that
her ledger handled his suit case in a
most delicate manner. probably because
Of the dynamite inside.
After spotting the D street premises
from the roof Of the Southern railway
office at 119 D street. and identifying it
because 1t was one of the only two
buildings with side Windows looking
out upon the Office and also on a rub
bish heap. the detectives. accompanied
by Mai. Pullman, called at the house.
After talking with Mr.. McCord and Mrs
