Denies Statements Which Had Been
 Attributed to Him.
 Knoxville. Tenn, May 15-A special to The Journal and Tribune from Bristol, Tenn, says:
 The conorer's jury which rendered a verdict of accidental shooting in the case of Edward I. wentz, whose dead body was found in Wise County. Va, several days ago, this afternoon received a reply from Mir. Wentz's alleged criminal charge in relation to the finding of the body.
 Mir. 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 credit ed with intimating that the verdict was intended to shield the murderers 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 have resulted.
 That Edward Wentz made a will is known positively. but nothing can be learned as to when it win be probated, except that it will be presented 'in due time"
