Ship Minnehaha On Fire; Was Frank Holt to Blame?

The steamer Minnehaha, filled with munitions and sailing for Halifax, caught on fire Wednesday night but the blaze was subdued. Because of the statement of Frank Holt that a ship would sink in mid-ocean on July 7th, officials and authorities are making careful investigation as to the origin of the fire. Other ships at sea have been seen but none of them have any explosives. More evidence seems to prove’that Holt is the Harvard professor, Erich Muenter, who murdered his wife in 1906. Holt is to be buriad in Dallas, Tex., where his wife resides.
