JAW Night Watchman
Who Found Dynamite
Admits Kidnap Hoax
BY tho Assoeiotsd Press

DETROIT, Jan. IA faxed
story of abduction and threat
spiced the fantastic record of the
CIO United Auto Workers troubles
today.
Police. and the FBI. were con-
tinuing an investigation.
Detectives said they were mainly
interested in whether the. man
who told the story has definite
knowledge" of the terror cam
paign against the union.
The bizarre tale was attributed
to white haired William Thomas,
58-year-old night watchman at
the auto union headquarters.
Nervous and shakey, Thomas
admitted last night after 13 hours
of grilling that his story was a
hoax, according to Detective In
spector Joseph Krug.
Thomas. q co-finder Of the dyna-
mite plant at the UAW headquar-
ters the night Of December 20.
earlier had given police q lurid
account of being kidnapped and
trussed up by two men.
Brooded Over Bomb Plot.
With rope marks on his neck
and wrists, he was found soaked
from wet snow at the gate of the
Henry Ford estate in suburban
Dearborn early yesterday.
He said he had been seized on
a downtown Detroit street by two
unidentified men. A rope was
yanked around his neck and he
'blacked out" he said.
That was all he could remem-
ber.
But last night, following hos
pital treatment and constant
questioning at police headquar-
ters, Thomas admitted his story
was false. 1t. Krug said.
According to 1t. Krug, the union
employe pictured himself as hav-
ing brooded ever since the bomb
plot disclosure.
II wanted to commit suicide.
but I couldn't 60 through with it,"
1t. Krug said the man declared.
Tied Ropes Himself.
Thomas was said to have tied
the ropes himself around his neck,
legs and wrists.
II wanted to kill myself because
people were saying behind my
back that I set the bomb" 1t.
Krug quoted Thomas Is saying
I'm in a bad mental state"
The FBI and police are still
hard at work trying to find clues
to the mysterious bomb incident.
One theory is that the bomb
plant was tied in with the at
tempted assassinations Of the
JAWS president, Walter Reuther,
and his brother Victor.
The union made no comment on
the case Of the night watchman.
Thomas, meanwhile, was held
under technical charge Of falsely
reporting q felony.

ton. DR.. Murphy said. The speed
with which death came clearly in
dicated to him, the deputy coroner
said, that the extensive beating
must have taken place before the
operation was started.
Details on who was present at
the time remained the only un-
explained question in the case,
police said.
James j. Laughlin, veteran
criminal lawyer, was retained to
defend Myers this morning. After
talking to Myers at the District
Jail, Mr.. Laughlin charged police
were covering up some one" and
attempting to place full blame on
his client. ~.
Much of the evidence in this
case has not been brought out"
Mr.. Laughlin said. THE Police
Department has not been full and
frank with the public
Says Myers Did Not Touch Girl.
After his conference at the
jail, Mr.. Laughlin said, he is con-
vinced that Myers did not beat
Mrs. Campbell and that he did
not perform the abortion. .
He did not place his hands on
her at any time," Mr.. Laughlin
said. 1T is true that they dis
cussed her desire to have an abor-
ton performed. but it never went
beyond that stage insofar as
Myers Is concerned"
Myers will not testify at the in
quest next week, Mr.. Laughlin
said. After the inquest he will
move to have Myers released on
bond, the defense lawyer said.
Capt. jeremiah Flaherty, chief
of the police homicide squad, said
statements of several witnesses
have enabled investigators to
piece together the following
chronological story Of events lead
ing up to Mrs. Campbell's death:
