H. kurai Found With Hand Clasping a Revolver With the back of his head blown away, F. H. Sakurai, a Japanese, was found lying in a pool of blood in his bed at 607 South El Paso street, Monday morning, with a .38 caliber revolver, mufflied in a towel, still clasped in his right hand.

Sakurai came to El Paso in the early part of June, according to information obtained by the police, and opened a small restaurant at 502 South El Paso street. After closing his restaurant Sunday night, he went to his room at about 12 oclock. Monday morning Luisa Gonzales, sole employe, appeared at the restaurant to go to work, and found the place closed.
