A ; receipt jwas found in -the prisoner's "pocket. : - Said Be 'Waa Morgan's friend. Holt arrived In Glencove on the 8:53 , tram .from New Tork, carrying a, me dium sized suitcase and neatly dressed, lie walked to garage near the sta- , tion, . called Fred Ford, a. chauffeur, and asked to be driven to the Morgan Thome on -Mantincock Point, about two i mUes from Glencove. ' - ; t i "By the way," he asked Ford, as the 'car wag about to 'start, "do you know- Mr.-Morgan's car ' when you see It?" The chauffeur answered In the af- f irmatlve. j "Well, if we pass it, " Just stop, sHolt said, "and I'll throw my grip in ' and get in with Mr. Morgan." At Holt's 'direction. Ford drove the i car. through the-gateway of the Mor- gaa estate and up to the main stepsi where-his passenger alighted and paid s his fare. Holt' then' started up the I steps and Ford turned to drive out of 1 the grounds. Butler Flake answered i Holt's ring. The caller handed him a ' I card, saying: ',- Holt Sees the Butler. -. l "I want to see J. P. Morgan. 8 He is f an old friend of mine." '.' The Morgan family was at breakfast j in the dining room. Fiske ushered the ' visitor into the room off-the main lf- brary : and turned toward the dining room. As . he did so Holt drew a re -' vol ver - from f his pocket and taking a few steps toward the hall, sad quietly i '.Tpu see this grunt I have another one. . Now, X want to see Mr. Morgan." Fiske- sized up the tall, -- slender .'. stranger with the gleaming, revolver ' and realised Instantly that he was j dealing either with a lunatic or a dan gerous crank." 4 - - "Mr. Morgan la in the library." he said quietly. "Justr a minute, please, and 111 call him." The butler passed slowly into the hall, broke into a run as he approached i the dining room, and shouted: Upstairs, Mr. Morgan, upstairs 1 - scorgams un irpstalrs. ' ; The financier and his wife, believ ; Jng that something had happened up- j stairs, ran up the back stairway. They ' found nothing wrong and hurrying through the long hall on the second t floor -and - down the front, stairs, al most stumbled upon the Intruder who was brandishing: a revolver in either hand. - -- Mrs. Morgan brushed ahead and at tempted to throw herself between the would-be assassin t and her husband. : Morgan, however, pushed her back and . hurled- the full weight of his : 200 pounds of solid flesh upon 'his slender assailant Just as the; two ' revolvers 1 barked. - At this point accounts of what hap- pened differ materially. The version generally accepted - here ' tonight was ! that Holt fired three shots before he ; 'was felled, ne, entering Morgan's ab- ; domett, piercing the center and inflict ing- a , serious wound, and a second ; penetrating -thei groin and coming out Through the right thigtu. A third shot wee reported to have shattered val- uible oil painting, one of the belong i " lngs qf the financier's father. , . Wounds Hot Berions. Morgan's physicians Issued a state- ment early this evening, declaring , that the two ' bullets that entered his body lodged in the region of the right thigh, causing no -serious wounds. ? It was. learned definitely late to night that j neither of ; the shots pene trated i Morgan's abdomen. The. first ehot struck the. right hip -and deflected slightly downward. The second pierced near the groin and went downward more sharply, passing through the up per part of the leg. - In falling to the floor with his aa- aaiiant, Morgan seized Holt's waist and wrenched one of the revolvers out of hia hand. The butler and other servants then rtrthed in and - over powered Holt, They trussed him up ; with ropes and telephoned for the I police and doctors. ' Morgan refused the assistance of ( his -wife . and, unaided, mounted -. the . i stairs to . the ' second floor, :. blood : streaming down his trouser legs.

He offered no reason for - shooting Morgan, but ex pressed admiration - for his victim's trave struggle and for the bravery of Irs. Morgan in attempting to save her husband.. ... : : After he had ' talked to reporters. Holt borrowed a pencil and wrote a telegram to his wife, addressed to 101 Marseilles: street. Dallas,-Texas. It follows: , - Telerraphs Bis Wife. '"Man proposes. God disposes. Don't come here until you get my letters. Be strong. (Signed) FRANK." Late this afternoon Holt was ar raigned before Judge Luyster, charged with assault in the, first degree, which covers f attempted murder. He was bound over without ball for appearance Wednesday at 2 p. m., the noltce an nouncing that the prisoner would be taken t to the county jail at Mlneola. where Mrs... Florence Carman was con fined during her trial for the sensa tional murder of Mrs, Louis Bailey. Holt apparently was cuff eting great ly, from loss of blood when he was ar raigned and his brain was muddled. When asked if he desired to pletfd, be replied: , , - - "That part that says: 'I wished to kill Mr. Morgan' muet be taken out." Judge Luyster .held that the prisoner was not competent to enter his own plea and therefore, on HOlfs behalf, en tered a formal plea ox not guilty: v , Stayed at OUs Hotel. New Tork; July 3. (t. N.

S.)- Frank Holt, the former Cornell . in structor who shot J. - P. Morgan to day, finished his service at the univer sity two weeks ago and had accepted the chair -of French i. history in-, the Southern Methodist college at Dallaa, Texas. i-ft 5'V;i;ii-v, Holt taught Gerlman at Cornell. He is an accomplished linguist, speaking French and German fluently and be ing well versed in Spanish.,, He cam here two years" ago from vanderbllt university, .where he had also taught. He speclalizedln German at Cornell, and did such . brilliant work 'that he was granted : his " degree of doctor of philosophy this June, Holt Was primarily a graduate stu dent, but in order to Increase his in-? oome and support his ! family rwlfe and two ' children he secured a "posi tion as Instructor, in the German de partment. His rare scholarship won the friendship or his professors and tbev gladly recommended him for an lnstructorship. He had finished work here two weeks ago and said he was leaving for New York.- Hia wife and two children had started for Texas a few weeks ago. - - -.- While Holt vwaa known among : his associates as pro-German 'he was not considered: rabid and several : of the Cornell professors who favor the allies eald today that they - regarded him as the most reasonable man in the entire German department. Holt had no bit terness toward England and he cer tainly had none for France or - the French, of whom he talked in the high est terms. He was never a prominent figure in the bitter disputes about the war, which were more or less frequent during tha fall, but he did- write let ters of protest to a local newspaper because it : criticized Germany's vio lation of Belgian neutrality - - '- 7 It la said that lately Holt has been much wrought up over the question of exportation of arms and ammunition and he is said to have expressed strong objections to the United States permitting the shipment of arms to the allies. Holt, however, could not be consid ered violent on the question, though nA man "of his , type might have been so beneath the surface. and not have shown It to his fellows. Se Is Hearty 40. ;. Holt ' was a studious, bard - working man of nearly 40 years. - At times his colleagues say . he was morose.

He said Holt was act ing queerly and that he had become discouraged about his- worie. Another head of a tutoring scuooi said that he also noticed that Holt, was a queer individual and he called him disagreeable. Both men said, however, that he had a good knowledge of the subjects he taught. One curious fact about Holt was his reticence as to his own origin.'; - - - While his colleagues are convinced that ha is an American citizen and though of German descent, not of Ger man birth, theyay they never learned from him anything about his parents or his home. 1 - Brooded Over Munitions. Members of the Cornell faculty are Inclined to believe that Holt was hot in his proper mind when the shooting occurred, i They r said, ; however, ; they think that-behind the surface of his demeanor and reticence he had been brooding about the question of arm ament, but : there .was nothing in his manner when he was here to- show he was unbalanced. Two Incidents were recalled today bearing on this . question : of his san ity. One was soma time ago when .a professor found Holt in the library reading a volume on German witch craft, written about the sixteenth cen tury. The professor told him if he did not stop reading it he would go crazy, but Holt -merely smuea ana went on' reading. ' . The : most significant fact bearing on the . mental question, however, la that Holt left town without turning into the faculty committee In the col lege of arts and sciences, the marks made by one of his classes In a final examination in : German, n This was regarded as rather unusual. .
