“My plan,” said Holt, “was to get

dren and take them into an upstairs
.iroom and then setul Mr. Morgan out
to see his influential friends to ' stop
the exportation of aitununitions frM

through it. I planned to keep them
there until Mr. Morgan returned and
gavs me hU promise that the expor

Unless he stopped it, I would tell him
of iny intention to kill Mrs. Morgan
and the children and myself by ex

Holt then tried to tall CominissioiK?'^
Woods about the terrible slaughter:
resulting from the war. He said he
knew Mr. Morgan could stop the war
