WENTZS FATHER.
He Makes Due Apology to the Coro-
ner's Jury.

Bristol, Tenn, May 16.-The coro-
ner's jury which rendered a verdict of
accidental shooting in the case of Ed
ward L. Wentz, whose dead body was
found in Wise county, Virginia, sew
eral days ago, Sunday afternoon re-
ceived a reply from DR.. J. S. Wentz
regarding his alleged criminal charge
in relation to the finding of the jury.
DR.. Wentz makes due apology to the
jury, declaring that he did not use
such terms as were credited to him in
the press dispatches. DR.. WentZ was
credited with intimating that the YER
dict was intended to shield the MUIR
derers of his son, who were friends of
the jury. No one stands higher in
Wise county than the men who served
on the Wentz jury of inquiry and in
the absence of an apology from DR..
Wentz a damage suit would certainly
have resulted

Because of the display of temper of

VENTS WILL.
His Entire Fortune Is Left to His
Brothers Wife.

Bristol, Va, May Alt appeared
Friday night that the late e. l.. Wentz
left a will executed only a few days
previous to his death in which he
leaves his entire fortune to Mrs. D. B.
Wentz, wife of the brother with whom
he was so closely associated through
the years of their residence at Big
Stone Gap. The report that the will
of Wentz had been found and that it
bears a date only a few days prior
to his death lends color to the theory
of suicide now firmly believed by
many of those most cOnversant with
the facts. The fact that the will had
been discovered was just made public,
but there is reliable information to
the effect that it was found by his
family some time since. Naturally
it was not published until his death
was established Mrs. D. B. WentZ his
brothers wife, is said to be the chief,
if not the sole, beneficiary under the
will.
