Believe Collett Killed Companion in holdup

 

BRODHEAD, KY, January 11 (AP) State Police and local authorities today prepared to make a thorough search of the �Blue Heaven� roadhouse premises in an effort to give the disappearance of Sennett UNREADABLE and perhaps link George Collett to another killing.

 

Gammon UNREADABLE on charges of robbing the Crab Orchard UNREADABLE

Collett, former keeper of the roadhouse, was hunted on similar charges. When his trail became hot he turned terrorist, killing the parents of a State policeman, his own wife, and four members of his wife�s family, then committed suicide. Last to die was Mrs. Lona Helton Jackson at the Pennington Hospital in London last night.

 

A report suggested the possibility that Gammon may have been a ninth victim of Collett�s gun. Today�s search of the �Blue Heaven� grounds was in response to unverified rumors that Gammon had been killed in a quarrel over money and was buried near the roadhouse.

 

Funeral services were arranged for today at the foothills cabin near here where they were shot down, for members of the Helton family.
