Activities in War, When the news of the shooting of Mr. Morgan reached financial circles here, the question was raised as to whether the financler’s activities in connection with the Huropean war had anything to do with the motive of the attack upon him. The house of J. P. Morgan & Company was the purchasing agent of the British gov- ernment for munitions and supplies bought in this country. It was daly this morning that the anouncement had been made prominently in New York newspapers of details of a plan of a, group of bankers, of whom Mr. Morgan was one of the leaders, for the flotation in this country of $100,- 000,000 of the nmew British war loan. In March last' Mr, Morgan crossed the ocean on a mission which he himself did not disclose, Wwas: generally supposed to be the ar-. ranging of credits in this country fu,r the powers at war with Germany. / Holds Morgan To Blame For Way. Glen Cove, July 3.~It is unofiéfly stated that one bullet took a glafcing course after striking Mr. Morgan in the breast and passed iout through the arm. ‘The other wounu ‘was said to be in the hip. . Mr. Morgan's assailant is declared by officials at the cour¢ house here, where he was taken, ¢ have said he was of German descdent and that he was willing to give up his life at any time to end the wear. It was added that he declared Mr. Morgan was responsible for the war and for the shipment of arms abroad, and that he could stop the conflict if he Wished. Justice of ‘the Peace Luyster ques- tioned the prisoner. “I am a christian gentleman,” was the ¢nly reply thé man would give when ‘pressed for his name, ' He de- clined also to say where he came from. As to his reasons for shooting Mr, Morgan, hawever, he was more communizative. No Quarrel With Morgan. He oty 1he jusuc that e rad 1O quarrel with Mr. Morgan personally but felt that the time had come for the war to end. It was becoming more and more unbearable, he said, and it was his firm belief that he should go to Mr. Morgan and ask him to ena il. This, he knew, Mr. Morgan could accomplish because of his great in- fluence. “I wanted to'see Mr. Morgan and to reason with him,” the man said. “I have nothing against him.” ; Cut Over Eye. The assailant was cut over the eye by ' the blow from the coal hod and had been Dbleeding freely. He also was limping as the result of his en. counter with the Morgan servants. Mr, Morgan, apparently did - not consider himself seriously wounded. ‘When it was reported that he was shot, the Morgan house ' was the tag- get of a volley of telephone inquiries from New York. The first of these calls 'was answered by Mr. Morgan himself, whe ‘¢almly told of the shooting and added that he did “not think it amounted to. .very \much. | Holt Mlkes Statement. Holt made the folowing 'statement to The Associated Press this after- noon: “My home 8 in Dallas, Tex. 1 have a wife and children and ‘ara 40 years old. I was born in this coun- try, and so were my father and mother. My ancestors were French and German; it was'all mixed up. . ' I received a degree of Doctor of Phil- osophy from Correll in 1914, but be- fore that I was an inmstructor in French.

I took no pains to' conceal my identity and registered under my own name, Conceived Idea Month Ago. “About a montk ago I conceived the idea to see J. P. Morgan and get him to use his intluence in stopping the exportation of arms, which make you and me responsible for the murder which is going on over there. " “I could not go from manufacturer to manufacturer myself, but I thought that Mr. Morgan’s banking conree- tions would render it more easy for him toraccomplish this. A Not Influenced By Anybody. “I have not been influenced to do this by anybody else. I think Presi- dent Wilson’s notes were fine, but they did not seem to anythlng to stop the ‘war. ‘I came down here from New York this morningf to put my idea before Mr. Morgan, but I depended upon him to formulate the plan. Of coure I did not mean to shoot Mr. Morgan, but I intended to say there until something was done. “I had a stick of dynamite in my pocket; I thought it might come in handy somehow. Some fool has sald that I had nitro glycerine in my suit case, but that was only benzine’ to clean my clothes. Got by Butler. “Y went up to the house and goét by the butler and walked up stairs..
