A MILLIONAIRE'S END.
BODY FOUND ON A HILL-SIDE. NEW YORK, May 10. The body of Mr Wenz, a Philadelphia millionaire, was found concealed on a hillside in Virginia. There were three bullet wounds in the remains. It is believed that illicit whisky distillers murdered Mr Wen'/., who had been missing for some time, and for whoso recovery his relatives had offered a reward of £20,000. Twelve hundred workmen and a hundred detectives searched the surrounding country for a week. It was thought that Mr Wenz had been kidnapped by men in the mountains and held for ransom ; but the finding of the body enshrouds the affair in deeper mystery than ever.
