Silas Isen and Tom Wright, moon
sinners, were arrested by officers last
Friday after having been wounded in
a fight to resist arrest. Their house
was searched, and an expensive pair Of
riding trousers, such as Wentz wore,
were found. The garments bore blood
stains. Isen and Wright have been
placed in the Tazewell Courthouse Jail
Anatomical Examiner Taylor of Rich
mond, Va, said that in an experience
of forty years he had never known of
a case of body remaining above
ground seven months in the Virginia
climate without being reduced to Il
skeleton. Either the Identification of
WentZ was by means of the clothing
alone or the man had not been dead
since October.
Young Wentz was the son of a Phila-
delphia millionaire and was in charge
of his fathers mines in Wise county.
Since his disappearance more than
$4,000 has been offered for any news
of him.
Until the inquest is held and the
body examined the cause of death will
not be known, though the general opin-
ion is that he was murdered.

JEROME'S BILL LAW
Governor Odell Signs Anti
gambling Measure.
NEW WORKERS NOW MUST TESTIFY
Troy Municipal Measure, Three Ar
mory Bills and NewcOmb Anti
trading stamp BIIl Also Signed
by the state Executive.

ALBANY, N. Y, May 10.-Governor
Odell has signed five important bills
the so called Jerome Downing witness
bill, admittedly aimed at Richard A.
Garfield and other alleged gamblers in
New York city; the Troy Improvement
commission bill, which adds the mayor
and corporation counsel of Troy to the
local ! improvement commission and
thus gives Mayor Hogan control Of the
commission, and three armory bills.
Governor Odell has also signed the
Eewcomb antitrading stamp bill.
The Bowling witness bill amends the
code Of criminal procedure so as to
compel witness in a proceeding under
the amiga milling law to testify and
provides that his testimony cannot be
subsequently used against him, thus
excluding witnesses in gambling cases
from refusing to testify on the plea of
self determination. The bill was the
subject of one of the battles of the ses-
sion. It was frankly admitted by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome that he desired
this legislation in order to be able to
compel certain prominent New York
men to testify as to their alleged
knowledge of gambling carried on in
well known gambling resorts of New
York city The decision last winter
Nof the court of appeals in the case OF
Jesse Lewisohn had shown the exist
ing law to be inadequate to compel
witnesses to testify. The Bowling law
takes effect Immediately.
The Troy municipal commission bill
of Senator Barnes was also the subject
Of much partisan controversy growing
out of the peculiar political conditions
in that city.
The three armory- bills now law ara
respectively those of Senator Lewis,
appropriating $350,OO0 for an armory
at Rochester; Mr.. Rogers, appropriate
ing $121,O0o for one at Binghamton,
and Mr.. De Groot, appropriating $780,
900 for one at Flushing.
The action on the armory bills follow
cd an all day conference between the
governor and legislative leaders, includ-
ing Senators Raines and Malby, Speak
er Nixon and Assemblyman Rogers,
over the appropriation and supply bills.
The conference resulted in agreements
as a result of which about $2,0O0,OOO
will be cut from the bills as passed by
the legislature. 4.

Young Philadelphian's Body
Has Many Shot Holes.
THOUGHT At THE CAP TO BE MURDER
Has Been Fully Identtned-Revolv~r
with Three Empty Chambers
Found Twelve Feet Away-Lies
Undisturbed Under Guard.

BRISTOL, Va, May 10.-The body
Of e. L. Wentz, discovered in the
mountains near Kelly View, Wise
county, Va. Sunday afternoon, by
Dave Raleigh, a miner employed at an
operation at Blackwood, Va, while
hunting lost COW, lies identically as
! it was frs seen, and around 1t stands
guard of twenty-five men under the
command of Superintendent Arthur
Foster of the Osaka plant of the Vir-
ginia Coal and Iron company. The
body has not been disturbed in any
way and will not be until d. B. Wentz
man, arrive on the scene.
Kiigore communicated with Mr.. J..
F. Bullitt at Big Stone Gap shortly
before dark Sunday evening, and forth
with a party headed by Mr.. Bullitt
and carrying lanterns to aid them in
their journey through the dark passes
of the mountains started for the scene
some twelve miles distant. They ar
rived shortly after II o'clock and at
once stretching ropes around the body,
l1nclosing it in thirty foot square,
placed a guard, which was not reliev-
ed until after daylight. AS to the
Iamount of the reward, it Is generally
believed that the man discovering the
body will receive $1,000.
All seem to agree that Wentz was
shot, but whether it was suicide or
murder is the question. Two of his
front teeth are gone, presumably shot
out, while holes thought to be bullet
holes are found through the coat and
Sest just below the ribs on the left
side. The place In which the body lies
has been recently burned off by forest
fires, and the dead mans hair and
clothing are scorched. The body is
Zying about thirty feet from the noun
5ain path and is now easily seen for a
hundred feet
= The. body, although partially decom-
posed, has been fully identified. His
clothing was intact. His revolver, with
three shots missing, and his eyeglasses
were found about twenty feet away.
The body lies near the Blackwood
road, about mile north of Kelly
cave. Wentz was found lying on his
back, his head resting on log.
The body Of Wentz was found in the
lap of a fallen tree. The spurs, belt,
ETC.. worn by Wentz at the time of his
disappearance were on the body. 1t is
evident that the body had recently
been placed where 1t was found, and it
is probable that clothing found In a
house in Glamorgan caused those who

Saved From His Friends.

Emanuel Friend. lawyer, has a
small nephew who was recently vac
cinated on his left arm. Soreness
soon developed and the youngster was
supplied with a small contrivance of
wire eauZe to protect the arm from
the buffets incidental to the employ
ment of adolescent youth. But one
morning it was discovered the lad
had transferred his protector to the
right arm.
do YOU know your protector is on
the wrong arm?" demanded his
mother.
"Oh. it's on the right arm, all right
returned the lad.
Eyes, know it is on your right arm
but you were vaccinated on the left,
said his parent. "You have left the
sore without any protection"
"Have -" retorted the urchin, with
a shrewd smile. We'll, l guess
haven't. You don't know the fellows
in my gang."-New York Herald.
