THE AMERICAN OUTRAGES.
SUICIDE OF HOLT,
A CONFESSION
New York, July 7
Holt, who attempted to assassinate Mr. J. P. Morgan, and caused the explosion in the Senate wing of the Capitol, broke his neck by throwing himself from his cell door to the stone floor below. Holt confessed that he had despatched dynamite on board the steamships Saxonia and Philadelphia, with a view to wrecking them at sea. The Navy authorities sent a wireless message to the Philadelphia, which replied that a search failed to disclose the dynamite. The Saxonia has not yet replied. Holt has been identified as Professor Erich Muenter, of Harvard University, who was wanted for murdering his wife at Cambridge, Massachusetts., in 1906.
