MILLIONAIRE {. |. WENTz
KILLED WITH OWN PISTOL
Coroner's Verdict in the Mysteri-
Gus Tragedy of Lonely Black
Mountain.
FINDING IS A SURPRISE
Father of the Dead Youth Says
His Son Did Not Commit
Suicide

BRISTOL, Tenn, May 11-"He came to
mis- death by the accidental discharge OF his
own pistol is the verdict of the coroner S
jury which for nearly two days has been
investigating the circumstances and condi-
tions surrounding the death of Edward l..
Wentz. the young millionaire, whose body
was discovered, -decayed and unburied, on a
spur of Black mountain last Sunday after
noon. The verdict came as a surprise in
every quarter, as the great majority of
the people who heard the evidence and eX-
amined conditions surrounding the body as
it lay on the mountain believe the cause to
have been suicide. while there are many
others who say there is crime so deep and
cunning as to make the affair more mys-
terious than ever.
A search was made in a nearby ground
hogs home for the missing right hand of
the dead man. believed to have been car
ried away by some animal The dirt was
dug away to the end of the hole and sifted
through a screen in search for the missing
bones and the ring worn on one of the
fingers. This was without result.
PHILADELPHIA, May n.-Dr. John S.
Wentz father of E. l.. Wentz tonight
said he was convinced that his son was
murdered MY son did not commit sui
eide" he said. HE had no reason what
ever for doing such a thing Some people
would like to show that he did in order to
clear themselves of the murder, but their
plan will not work. Edward did not have
revolver with him when he disappeared
All the weapons he owned have been found
in his home at Big Stone Gap"

REMARKABLE GAMBLING
STORIES TOLD IN COURT
Notorious Bob" Sievier's Char
acter Ventilated in a Sensa-
tional Manner.
LOST HIS LIBEL SUIT
And Was Excoriated by the Jus
tice-CaSe in Which the No
bility Played Part

LONDON, May IA sensational libel
suit brought by the well-known race horse
owner, r. S. Sieviers, against Sir James
Duke. also well known the turf, was
concluded to-day with a verdict for Sir
James.
Sievier charged Sir James with calling
him thief, card sharper and murderer
and that Sievier caused his famous mare
Sceptre to be pulled in the Derby. Sir
James pleaded privilege. the statements
were made within the Raleigh Club, but
he endeavored to show that Sievier's was
such that he could not be libeled. The
jury to-day decided that Sir James had
not committed any libel, and mulcted
Sievier in the costs of the suits. Sievier
who was remarkably cool throughout the
case, broke down toward the end Of his
counsels speech and sobbed bitterly
Justice Grantham in summing up was
very severe in his structure of Sievier He
said the late Queen Victoria would almost
rather have given up her throne than have
such man presented to her.
The case attracted continued interest
owing to- the fact that Sieviers past life
was probed with a minuteness scarcely
ever equaled in similar case. He con-
fessed to having been three times bank
rupted and TO being several times in po-
lice courts, but for trifiing assaults at card
games and billiard matches. Bets running
into the thousands of pounds were re-
counted from the witness stand with a
| frankness and in numbers that somewhat
amazed the hearers On the long run,
Sievier declared, he was heavy loser in
| gambling transactions. One game in par
| ticular, when the Duke of Braganza lost
about $25,OO0 while playing with Sievier at
| Monte Carlo, caused much cross-examina-
| ton. The defendants counsel declared that
| a famous American card sharper named
Burns, brother of a man imprisoned for
| robbing j. Pierpont Morgans house, par
ticipated in the game, but Sievier declared
| he was not aware of his identity until
| after the game over. when the Duke
| of Braganza himself and Guy Chetwynd
| came to an arrangement satisfactory to all.
| Chetwynd is a son of Sir George Chetwynd
| and married Rosalind Secor.
On another occasion Sievier won $4,000
| from a friend at cards and the losers wife
| wrote him a pathetic letter and Sievier ac-
| cepted $12,50, "a pretty large sum for a
| card sharper TO let anybody off," remarked
| Sievier on the stand.
| After his return from Australia Sievier
| was presented at court to Queen Victoria.

the military situation in Manchuria are
foreshadowed in official dispatches given
out late last night by the war commission.
On May the japanese forces cautiously

opinion of the general staff that they should
certainly reach their destination within two
days. If the Japanese occupy Hai-Cheng,
with Port Arthur effectively cut off, Nieu-
Chwang. which the Russians have already
dismantled would pass into their hands.
The entire Liao-Tung peninsula, in fact,
save Port Arthur. and perhaps Kai-Ping.
would be commanded by them.
The general staff has received the follow
ing dispatch from General Karkevitch,
bearing yesterdays date: According to
reports from the region of the Tayang
river, sent on the evening of May s. the
Japanese had not yet occupied Takuchan.
