MAY NOT Be MURDER
Cause of the UntimeIy Taking Off
of Edward L. Wentz Is
-. Doubtful.
BULLET SHOT INTO HIS HEART
But Whether Murder. Suicide or Ac-
cident Is Not known-Two
Suspects Arrested.

Knoxville, Tenn, May IL. - War
,:ants have been served on Silas Ison
and Tom Wright, prisoners in Jail at
Tazewell, Tenn. charging them with
the murder of Z. l.. Wentz. whose
body was found near Big Stone Gap
last Sunday. The two men were be-
ing held in Jail on the charge Of be-
ing fugitives from justice awaiting
orders from Virginia. These men were
first suspected of being the murderers
OF Wentz because a riding suit SINH
lar to one worn by WentZ when he
went riding was found In their quar-
tiers in the mountains. This suit Of
clothing had bloodrstains on it. A prob
able cause for the enmity between
Wentz and the men was that Wentz
was strongly opposed to them running
blind tiger in Wise county, Va, on
VENTS property.
Bullet Found In the Body.
Bristol, Va, May 1.-THE shrunken
and decayed body of Edward L. Wentz
has been literally taken to pieces by
physicians and detectives i'm the course
of the coroner's inquest which was be-
gun in a dark cavern of Black noun
tain and was closed without a verdict
by the coming of night. At 7:3O p.
m. the jury was adjourned for the
day. The startling feature OF the i'm
quest was the discovery Of 81 caliber
pistol ball in the body which might
have been discharged from the empty
pistol of the same caliber found eight
cen feet from the remains. The ball
had passed through the fifth rib, en-
tering in front, had penetrated the
heart, back rib, and lodged in the
muscles of the back one and half
inches from the spine.
Bullet Penetrated the Heart.
Several holes were found in the
clothing, where other bullets entered,
but beneath them the body was in
tact. The right hand was missing,
and was probably horne away by wild
beasts A white pearl button which
could not have belonged to the muir
dered man was found nearby. There
is little doubt that the ball penetrated
the heart, as the physicians found evi-
dence of hemorrhage in that portion
of the body, and large amount OF
blood congested back of the lungs. De-
tectives ON the scene made careful ex-
animation of the pistol, finding it to be
6 Smith & Wesson, No. S5-0-5O. Two
cartridges were ON either side OF the
hammer, but the chamber under the
hammer contained an empty shell, as
well as the two lower chambers. A
loaded cartridge of 32-caliber was
found seven feet from the body.
Was 1t a Case of Suicide?
It has been decided that nothing can
be gained by holding the body here
longer, and the special train which
brought the brothers Of the dead man,
physicians and detectives to the scene
has left, taking the corpse with it. 1t
is stated by persons close to the Wentz
family that the question of reward Will
be settled as to the amount and. time
of payment after the verdict is rem
dered. There is great difference OF
opinion as to the cause of Wenfz's
death, whether accidental, suicide or
murder. Many believe it was suicide.

record upon the subject there was an
overwhelming sentiment, ais 1t devel-
Oped, against any such action. and the
entire matter was finally disposed of
by referring 1t to a committee from
which it is unlikely ever to be report
ed.
Begins with an Attack on Rome,
Rev. ID. j. Nj. King was the mover
in the matter of the Roman Catholic
church, and he was ON his feet as
soon as the convention was ready for
business He commenced by reading
an extract from q letter written by
Rev. Father Peter Harnett, vicar gem
eral of the Roman Catholic diocese Of
Monterey and Los Angeles, appearing
IN local newspaper, and bassi upon
an utterance of the episcopal address
read before the conference. by Bishop
Foss on Thursday last. In this letter
Rev. Harnett took exception to the
statement in the address that the Ro-
man Catholic church Is opposed to the
public school system of the United
States.
King Centroverts Father Harnett.
Rev. DR.. King made spirited at
tack on the Roman Catholic church,
and declared that the assertions OF
Rev. Harnett were contra dicted by the
facts in the case. He elaborated to
some extent upon the statement that
the Roman Catholic church did not
interfere in politics, and concluded by
reading q resolution which declared
that the efforts of the Roman church
ITO control the secular press, its In
nuence in politics and its assaults on
the public school system demand the
vigilance Of Protestants and patriots"
