In an interview with the Mercury News eight years ago, William Lynch said that he was so angry at the priest he had sued for molesting him as a child that "I could kill him with my bare hands.''

Lynch surrendered today to Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputies who suspect him of tracking the Rev. Jerold Lindner to the Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in Los Gatos in May and pummeling the 65-year-old retired cleric so badly that he ended up in the hospital.

Lynch, 44, of San Francisco, was booked on suspicion of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, a felony, and was given a bail of $25,000. There is no scheduled arraignment.
