The man who drove the automobile that aroused the suspisions of Captain Archer, Camp Fremont adjutant, and his statement resulted in warning city and county authorities that they must make moral conditions better in the neighborhood of the camp or run the risk of losing the business of the soldiers, was a Palo Alto man, it was learned last night. His name is R. C. Wood and he has been employeed by the Depot Garage as head mechanic.
He is now being held in the San Mateo county jail in Redwood City, charged with manslaughter for running down and killing Patrick Burns, 50 years old laborer, on the state highway in Menlo Park.
