FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
William Henry's Injuries Not Be-
Iieved to be Accidental.

SUTSUN, May 2-The condition OF
William Henry, a young man who was

The explanation of the Greek fisher
man who took Henry to Benicia that his
injuries were caused by the explosion
of a gun is doubted. A medical ex-
animation showed that the unfortunate
young man must have been the victim
of a vicious attack. Sheriff George
Savage and District Attorney Devlin

found outside the cabin of the scoW

Thalus, and its other occupants are
John Calloni, Peter Provenoh, Demetrl
Bennett and Ed Edenburg. These five
men were arrested, two being locked up
in Benicia, two at Fairfield and one in
Vallejo. The men all deny having had
trouble with Henry, but discrepancies
occur in their statements.
The theory of foul play is strengthened
by the finding of a broken musket the
butt of which was covered with blood
