Man Who Shot Morgan Tries to End His Life
Frank Hote, identified as J. P. Morgan’s assailant, attempted suicide by slitting his left wrist with a sharpened pencil at Mineola jail.

Morgan’s condition after being wounded remained improvement, with doctors planning no further bulletins. The case links Holt to Muenter and raises questions about Holt’s mental state with alienists consulted.
