Prisoners Make
Powerful Air Gun
WALLA WALLA, (iP) — An
amazing story of a prison-made
compressed-air blow-gun which
can shoot 10-penny nails through
sheetmetal was told by state pen
itentiary officials today.
The weapon was found hidden
in the bunk of one of the prison
ers and superintendent Tom
Smith said at least three ring
leaders are involved in what he
said may have been an escape
plo\
He said it was possible the nail
shooting gun had been devised to
snipe guards noiselessly off the
wall.
Town Inherits
Vast Estate
(By Elaine Kahn)
PERRYOPOLIS, Pa., (/P)—'This
western Pennsylvania mine town
whose chief claim to glory was
its historical past had a bright fu
ture today and an inheritance of j
uncounted millions.
George Washington once owned
more than 1600 acres of its land
and personally suggested the plan
of the town—like the spokes of a
wheel.
But when thd* hamlet tried to
restore Washington’s flour mill
several years ago, the citizens
couldn’t raise enough mcmey. The
old mill collapsed, leaving only
ruins.
Today Perryopolis — proudly
named for Commodore Oliver
Perry—has lots of money. Just
how much it won’t know until
the lawyers and executors get
through counting the estate of
Mrs. Mary Fuller Frazier of Phil
adelphia.
The last surviving member of
the Perryopolis’ Fuller family,
Mrs. Frazier, died August 6 in a
New York hospital at the age of
83. She left all but $210,000 of her
vast estate to the town for public
improvements.”
