CLEARWATER, FLA., July 3.—J.
J. Mendenhall, a well known lumber
man and orange grower, is under ar
rest here to-day on the charge of
murdering two women, said to be
Mrs. Charles W. Elliott and her
daughter, a Miss Andrews, last night
on a lonely road between Safety Har
bor and Tampa. Identification was
almost Impossible, because the bodies
had been drenched with gasoline and
set on fire.
Guy Stemple, of Tampa, Is held
there as the sole witness. He has
told an involved sort of story, to the
effect that be was hired by Menden
hall to drive the car for him. and the
two women.
Chauffeur's Explanation.
“We left the main road at Moccasin
Bridge,” he said, “and took a little-
traveled road toward Safety Harbor.
I was driving. I heard a sort of
crash and glass breaking. It seems
the man had hit one of the women in
the head with a bottle.
“I checked the car and tried to stop
the struggle. Then I got scared and
ran away. I heard three shots. 1
w r ent back to the main road, and was
picked up by a passing motor car
and came on to Clearwater. There I
told what I had seen, and when the
authorities took me back we found
the car burned and with It two bod
ies, charred.”
Mendenhall also was picked up by
a relative in his car and taken to
Clearwater. He kissed his wife good
night, and retired. He was arrested
at daybreak, being awakened from an
apparently sound sleep.
Dual Life Alleged.
It is said that Mendenhall had been
living a dual life, and that the mother
of the girl with whom he was living
unlawfully had threatened to have
him arrested under the Mann white
slave act because he would not di
vorce his wife and marry the girl.
Mendenhall was charged with
murdering his first wife some years
ago, and was acquitted on the testi
mony of his present wife. The family
is prominent in society, both his pres
ent wife and his daughter being tal
ented and well known in the winter
social colony at the famous Belle-
view Hotel.
Hammock, the relative with whom
Mendenhall came to Clearwater last
night, also has been arrested.

“Mrs. Morgan Jumped In front of
her husband apparently to protect
him from the assailant. Mr. Morgan
and the servants grappled with rhe
assailant, who fired twice. Mr. Mor

that for several weeks Holt has >
been frequentrnq the university II- (
brary in research work, and has ,
been particularly interested in Ger- (
man witchcraft. Those who kn.».v ?

Holt Talks Irrationally.
Holt talked In an irrational manner
after his arrest, saying:
“I have been sent by God to do
this. Morgan is the only one who
could end the war. and I was a di
vine agent in trying to destroy him.”
In the prisoner’s pocket was found
an American Express Company ra-
ceipt showing that Holt had recently
shipped a package from Ithaca to F.
S. Slnsabauch, No. 101 Marseille
street, Dallas, Texas. Holt said he
had recently obtained a pcsition near
Dallas.
Holt visited “East Island,” the Mor
gan summer home, three days ago ro
reconnoiter before he tried to kill the
financier.
One of the weapons Holt carried
was a .38-caliber revolver; the other
was a .32. It was a .32-caliber pistol
that w'as used against Mr. Morgan.
Immediately after the attack on the
banker Holt was brought here and
locked up pending his removal to the
county jail at Mineola. After his ar
rest he raved about the war, declar
ing over and over that Mr. Morgan
could end the war if he wanted to.
Arrives at Morgan Home.
Holt arrived upon the 8:30 train on
the Long Island Railroad and ap
proached M. F. Ford, who operates a
taxicab service In Glencore.
"I want to be driven to the resi
dence of J. P. Morgan,” said the man.
