GLEN COVE, N. Y., July 3. Frank
Holt, a former Cornell University in
structor, attempted to assassinate J.
P. Morgan at East Isle, Mr. Morgan's
Summer home, here today, and to
night confessed that he was the man
who set the bomb which exploded in
the United States Capitol at Wash
ington last night
Mr. Morgan, the victim of the bul
lets which Holt fired today, was said
by specialists at his bedside to be
resting well tonight. No vital organ,
the physicians announced, had been
involved in his injury.
Exact Nature of Wound Not Told.
The physicians, however, declined
to "tell the exact location of Mr. Mor
gan's wounds. Junius Spencer Mor
gan, eldest son of the financier, was
asked to tell the exact nature of the
wounds. After conferring with the
' physicians, young Mr.. Morgan as
serted that the doctors had decided
to add nothing to their previous bul
letins. .-
Holt, by his confession and the de
tailed description of the bomb he
used in the Capitol explosion, stamped
himself as an expert on the use of
explosives, the police assert. Imme
diately after his confession was ob
tained the chief of the Washington
police, a squad of secret service op
erators and New York City detec
tives and Bertillon and finger-print
experts were summoned to Glen
Cove.
Man Suspected of Other Crimes.
The belief prevailed that Holt had
been connected with other bomb out
rages, which have baffled the police,

bomb on the grounds of Andrew
Carnegie's Fifth-avenue residence in
New York City.
Holt shot Mr. Morgan twice. Both
shots took effect in the region of the
hip. A bulletin issued by specialists
at his bedside late today said that
ailere were no unfavorable symptoms
and that Mr. Morgan was resting
easy.
Intent to Do Harm Denied.
Holt was overpowered by Mr. Mor

the Morgan household. He was

EL. PASO. Tex July 3. United States
Secret Service agents, who have been
watching Pascual Orozco. under ar
rest for conspiracy to start a new revo.
lution in Mexico., awoke today to find
their man gone.
Orozco escaped despite a guard of
six armed men at his house. He was
out on bond and technically h.vd the
right to go and come as he willed, but
the Government decided to watch him
as an extreme precaution.
Fear is expressed in Mexican circles
that before many hours the Villa gar
rison at Juarez may place itself under
the command of Orozco. It was re
ported that an armed force was march
ing toward Juarez from the west, and
among the rumors in circulation is one
that Orozco has planned to move to

GLEN COVE. N. Y.. July 2. Frank
Holt, the man who shot J. P. Morgan
today,, is the man who set the bomb
that exploded in the United States
Capitol at Washington last night.
In a statement made to Justice
Luyster and Thomas Tunney, head of
the bomb and anarchist squad of the
New York city detective bureau. Holt
confessed setting the bomb and
described it in detail. As a missile
of terror it was said to be unique in
the annals of the New York police
department.
Baanb Result f Kirrisws(.
"I made this bomb." Holt is quoted
as having said in his confession, "with
three sticks of dynamite, sume match
heads and a bottle of sulphuric acid."
"You see." Holt said. "I had experi
mented on it before. Not once, you
know, but many times, and knew Just
what I was. doing. I really didn't take
any chances; I knew when the bomb
would go orf. almost to the minute.
I waited in Washington until I beard
it go off. then I caught the train for
New York. I didn't have much time,
so I had to hurry."
"How did you make the bombr hs

"Well." he answered. "I took three
sticks of dynamite -and bound them
together. Then with my knife I hol

"When the match heads were put in

I had timed the sulphuric acid in my
tests before and I knew Just how long
it would take to eat through the cork
and get to the match heads.
Acid Seta Matches Afire.
"When the acid reached the match
heads it set them on fire and caused
the explosion. There wasn't any guess
work about It. I knew how much time
I had. so I hung around while the acid
was eating its way through the cork."
Holt's confession of the Capitol out
rage came fast on the heels of his
denial to newspapermen of the same
charge. Reporters told him the story
from Washington, calling his attention
to the marked similarity In language
used by him In his statement today
and that of the writer of a letter re
lating to the bomb in Washington.

According to Holt's confession, he
went to Washington from New Ysrk
yesterday, arriving there about noon.,
He went to the Capitol In the afternoon
and set the bombs at 4 o'clock. He
had timed the explosion at midnight.
After setting the bomb he strolled
about Washington for several hours. In
