Morgan Out of Danger; Assailant Growing Weaker.

J. P. Morgan, who was shot twice by Frank Holt last Saturday, is said to be out of all danger by the attending physicians. Holt, the would-be assassin, on the other hand, was so weak when his keepers went to arouse him that he could not sit up. Unless Me gets 'better at once it will be impossible to take him to court Wednesday. All plans for further questioning of Holt will be abandoned until he recovers. Holt has lost a great quantity of bolod from the wound inflicted when Mr. Morgan’s butler hit him with a large piece of coal. One thing being investigated with great vigor is to ascertain if Holt is the former Harvard professor who murdered his wife by poisoning her in 1906. The Harvard professor’s name was Erich Muenter and he disappeared after the death of Mrs. Muenter. He has never been found. People who knew Muenter and have seen Holt say that there is marked resemblance between the two, but no one seems, positive enough to make a definite statement. Holt has denied vigorously and emphatically that he is Erich Muenter. It is said that Holt’s whereabouts in 1906 are not known. .
