Pinchas Szwecki, 20 years old, the only Jewish worker in the government tobacco factory at Vilna, was drowned today while bathing with fellow Polish workers. In Jewish circles here there is a suspicion that Szwecki was the victim of foul play because he had recently suffered persecution at the hands of Polish workers in the factory.
