Prisoner Makes
Gun Out of Soap
las Police Watch
BY the Assoeioted Press

LYNCHBURG, Va, Dec. 22.-For
more than a week, police watched
a 29-year- North Carolinian use
soap to fashion a model automatic
pistol which, they said, he intended
to use to escape jail.
The gun was completed yesterday.
But Earl Williams of Durham, N. c.,
Is still in Jail.
City Sergt. Charles M. Watts said
police had watched Williams secretly
working on the soap pistol for more
than a week. A close watch had
been placed on him, Sergt. Watts
said, because of his reputation for
having escaped at least two other
jails.
Sergt. Watts said Williams planned
to get Deputy Jailer J. r. Ware to
open the cell door to let him exer-
else and then use the soap gun to
get keys so he could escape One
other prisoner was to make the
break with Williams, Sergt. Watts
added.
The pistol, made of soap and tissue
paper and colored- with cigarette
ashes, will be sent to the FBI mu-
scum In Washington.
