The warden of Lake County Jail shields the face of Mrs. Opal Collins en route to the court room to hear Judge Murray read a grand jury indictment charging her with four counts of murder in the first degree. Mrs. Collins is accused of shooting her paraplegic war veteran husband, Ben; his mother, Julia, 48, and his two sisters, Mary Sue and Martha Ann. The tragedy occurred in the Collins home last Saturday night.
