WHERE CRAZED FUGITIVE SLEW SEVEN AND HIMSELF

 

Apparently crazed by the pursuit of Kentucky State Police, George Collett, operator of a roadhouse near Brodhead, Ky., sought in connection with the robbery of a bank at Crab Orchard, Ky., Wednesday night went to the home of his wife (top left) in Kentucky foothills near Crab Orchard, killed Mrs Collett and four others in her family and wounded two more. Leaving the mountain shack, he went to the home of Mr. And Mrs. Julian Bordes (top center and right) parents of a state policeman and killed them. Collett then ate breakfast and engaged a room at a tourist camp where he wrote the last �wish and will� and ended his own life. In the new photograph Tom Brown, state policeman is shown climbing to the hidden top story of Collett�s roadhouse, �Blue Heaven�, in which police believed Collett might have hidden the loot which caused his pursuit.
