BELIEVED NOW THAT HOLT WORKED ALONE Letters- Do Not:Indicate He Had Ac- ‘complice In Bomb and Assassina- tion Program Of Terrorism. New York, July 9.—Nearly two thousand letters found 'among the effects of Frank Holt, at Ithaca have been gone- .over carefully by the police, it :was announced' today and not a single sentence has been found among them to indicate that he. had an accomplice in his program of ter- rorism by bomb and assassination. The letters were written in French, Italian, Spanish, German and Eng- lish and dated as far back as 19086, In one of the letters from the sec- retary of Andrew Carnegie, it was learned that Holt had offered to go to China to teach and to take his wife with him as a missionary. ° He had written that he could not do this, however, for $1,000 a year and hoped that Mr. Carnegie ‘“‘could make 1t $1,600.” Two letters from ‘an aunt of Holt in Leipsic, Germany, were found. So far as could be learned they contain- ed no reference to ‘Holt’s life as Erich Muenter.

A copy of a letter sent by him to Mrs. Ballington Booth told of -his success in having induced a prison officlal to introduce welfare work in prison. It was said to be generally believ ed now that Holt worked alone and that no one elsei even knew of his plans. COMSTOCK ENCAMPMENT. Comstock encampment, I. O. O.

Among the missing were six mem- bers of the crew of the towboat Con- voy, which was sunk by striking a pier of the Southern Railway bridge in the Ohio river. The other persons reported missing are believed to have been in the wretked buildings or on some craft on the river when the storm broke. { Search for bodies continued in the wreckage of buildings and along the shores of the river today.
