Tho dead liutitl of Frank Hull, assassin, bomb innkcr n ml allowed wife murderer, reached mil over the Atlantic today nml menaced with d.vnnmito attacks two trnns-Allnntie liners with near ly 3000 men, women and children aboard. Somewhere on tho ocenn, Holt wrote to bis wife, (ho liner Sa.onia or tho Philadelphia bo was nol sine which would bo destroyed today. A dynamite bomb continuing thirty pounds of explosive, which Holt is known to have received, and which lias nol l)ccn accounted for, is believ ed by tho police to bo the means Holt bad chosen to destroy the ship. While Holt lay today a suicide in bis cell nt Minonln, L. I., whore he was taken nft or his attempted assas sination of ,1. 1 Morgan, the wireless crackled a warning over the Atlantic tolling of his threat to blow up a whip, and the mystery of his life was cleared away with his positive identi fication as Erich Muenter, the alleged wife murderer, who fled Harvard uni versity in HWfl.

Tho powerful wireless stations of tho navy department wore enlisted in tho effort to prevent tho threatened disaster at sea. In answer to the warning there was icooivod today a message from tho captain of the Philadelphia which said that every thing aboard bad been identified nml that all was well. The Saxonia had not replied. Her failure to do so was attributed to tho weakness of her wireless batteries, which could nol, it was thought, span tho distance from mid-ocean to shore without delay.
