Survivor Sends Police To Six Bodies

Compiled From Wire Services

Six people were found slain in an apartment Saturday after a woman who escaped the attack scribbled police a note from her hospital bed on where to find the bodies.

The survivor, who had been stabbed in the throat and shot, was unable to talk. She escaped by jumping out the second-floor window and was found by police on the front lawn about 3 a.m.

Police were unsure where she had come from until she wrote the note hours later in the hospital. The woman was in critical condition.

The dead - four women and two men ranging in age from their late teens to early 30s - were found throughout the apartment, in a quiet residential section of the borough of Queens. They had all been shot or stabbed.

Neighbors told police they had not heard any unusual noises.
