ASSASSIN HOLT FIRED CAPITOL BOMB
Holt Makes Statement.

Glen Cove, N. Y, July Crank
Holt, the man who shot J. P. Morgan,
is the man who set the bomb that ex-
ploded in the United States Capitol
at Washington Friday night In a
statement to Justice Luyster and
Thomas Tunney, head of the bomb
and explosive squad of the New York
City DEFECTIVE Bureau, Holt confessed
setting the bomb, and described it in
detail. 81 made this bomb,'' Holt is
quoted as having said, in his confes-
sion, with three sticks of dynamite,
some match-heads and a bottle of sui
phuric acid.''
Holt made the following statement
about the shooting:
my home is in Dallas, Tex. l have
a wife and children and am 40 years
old. l was born in this country, and
so were my father and mother My
ancestors were French and German;
it was all mixed up. | received a de-
gree of doctor of philosophy from Cor
nell in 1914, but before that | was in
structor in French. | was formerly an
instructor in Vanderbilt University. I
came to New York two weeks ago
from Ithaca and put up at the Mills
hotel at Thirty-sixth street and Sew
enth avenue. 1 took no pains to con-
ceal my identity and registered un-
der my own name. About month ago

I conceived the idea to see j. P. Nor
in stopping the expectation of arms,
which make you and me responsible
for the murder which is going on over
there.
81 could not go from manufacturer
to manufacturer myself, but / thought
that Mr.. Morgans banking connec-
tions would render it more easy for
him to accomplish this. l have not
been influenced to do this by anybody
else. | think President Wilson's notes
were fine-but they did not seem
to do anything to stop the war.
'T came down here from New York
to put my ideas before Mr.. Morgan,
but depended upon him to formulate
the plan. Of course l did not mean
to shoot Mr.. Morgan, but I intended
to stay there until something was
done. I had a stick of dynamite in my
pocket; I had thought it might come
in handy, somehow. Some fool has
said that l had nitro-glycerine in my
suit case, but that was only benzine
to clean my clothes
"I went up to the house and got by
the butler and walked up stairs. had
my gun in my hand. In the hall on
the second floor met Mr.. Morgan. A
woman whom | took to be his wife
immediately preceded him down the
hail. She screamed and jumped away
from Where-I don't know exactly
where Mr. Morgan did not give me a
chance to say anything. He jumped
at me and grappled with me and 1
fired in the air, thinking to scare him.
They tell me hit him. l don't know,
for somebody hit me on the head.
81 hope Mr. Morgan is not badly
hurt. l admire Mr.. Morgan's courage
in graphing with me. If he would
only use his courage in the right di-
rection, and for the right things, he
will get somewhere and do something
worth while
The belief prevailed that Holt had
RACES which have baffled the police,
notably the finding of a bomb on the
grounds of Andrew Carnegie's Fifth
avenue residence in New York City.
With a pencil borrowed from the
newspaper man, Holt addressed tele-
gram to his wife, at 101 Marseilles
street, Dallas, Tex. The telegram fol-
lows:
''Man proposes, God disposes.
Don't come here until you get
my letter. Be strong"
The telegram was signed Frank"
