'I'm Not Sorry, Insists Mad Killer Of Campus Girl
By United Press
NEW YORK, July 17—An “electronics student” who had a “plan” to enable man to live 500 years was returned today to face death charges for the slaying of an 18-year-old
secretary-sweetheart of a Marine in Korea.
Peakes had been referred to as a former Columbia University student. Today the university announced ‘there is no record that Peakes ever took a course at Columbia or ever applied for admission.
“I'm not sorry,” said Bayard Peakes, 29, who confessed in Boston early today that he had killed Eileen Fahey on the Columbia University campus last Monday because the university had turned down his thesis on electronics and old age. Peakes, self-styled electronics genius from Dover-Foxcroft, Me., was heavily manacled and under heavy police guard as he stepped off the train at Grand Central Terminal. . He was. taken to the District Attorney's office for further questioning.
Beat Him to It
“I was going to surrender next Sunday,” Peakes told accompanying Detectives James Corcoran and Louis Behrens.
But police beat him to it. Tipped by an unidentified professor at Columbia, police surrounded the rooming house in Boston where Peakes was living.
Within seven hours of his ar rest, Mr. Peakes had been ques- © tioned, confessed and waived extradition. He was placed on a | train for New York under guard of two New York City detectives. He smiled for photographers and posed with newspapers telling of his arrest. To curious by-

standers, he said, “Yes, I'm the naughty boy.” : I —— Mad at Columbia’
A few minutes after midnight Mr. Peakes returned from his work at a packing house and the detectives closed in on him.
“You got me—I'm the one who : killed her.” Det. ‘sald the self-styled electronics expert told him at the time of his arrest. “I was mad at Columbia because I had been refused readmission to the university and I just took it out on the first person I ran into who I thought was to blame,” Peakes told police. “He said he had written a thesis on physics,” Dect. Capt. Francis G. Wilson of Boston said. “He claimed he could make men live 500 years.” The detectives said Mr. Peakes To dl
