I.. July 6. Frank Holt, who shot J. P. Morgan twice after en tering his home nt (Hon Cove. Saturday, nttempted to commit suicide In his cell. ii the jail here to lay. His condition is not serious, jail officials said. Holt nttempted to cut an arterv in his wrist with a lead pencil. Holt displayed the greatest, cunning ife lilto instrument I which he attempted mi iiisiituniug a Kn from a pencil with iu ciin ii is me. no remov eraser from the pencil an mi container with is teeth until it presented a straight sharp edge. With this he gashed his wj-ist until the blood poured out from the punctured artery. Charles Apte.l. assistant cus!!. liu'n nt Harvard, visited Holt in his cell to day. He i-aid the prisoner resembled Muenter, the missing professor charged with the murder of his wife but that ho was not positive Holt was nctualU Muenter. He intends to see Holt again itfler ilie bandages nbont his head have beeu removed. These were necessitated by the boating Holt received at the hands of Morgan and servants iu the household. Two alienists, reported to have been employed by Morgan, will examine Holt soon, it was learned tudav. They are understood to be Dr. Carlos Mc Donald and Pr. Austin Flint, noted alienists who have been identified with the Thaw case. Dr. ( leghorn said this aftorumn that Holt was too weak to be taken to (Hen love tomorrow for preliminary hearing. In addition to being weakened from tl"' loss of bloril owing to the injuries re coved when overpowered iu the Mor gan house he is suffering from stomach irouoie ana is unalile to take nourishment except orange juice nny anil , me wanes or eggs, It is possible that the court hetirinir niav ke 1ml.

He had tost considerable blood when tlie discovery that he had gash.il his wrist was made, but the jail pliysican was hurriedly summoned and the wound was sewed up. Holt made the attempt seine time during the night, but thin uu. ruing was said to be in no danger. lohn I.eckersteicker, the turnkey, lio found Holt wounded, had watched I" m at intervals through the night. s"on after midnight Ii ti.vd blood Uu kling down his clothing.

Professor Spaeth denied that such a move would tend toward militarism.
