In a Philadelphia courtroom, the father of a young sexual assault victim shoots her accused attacker dead.

After a delay of more than a year, George Ellar was brought to trial in a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania courtroom for the indecent assault on the twelve year old daughter of one Thomas Leis.  As the judge was beginning proceedings, Leis drew a pistol and fired at Ellar who died instantly.  Reportedly, Leis was tried a month later and acquited.  (By John Osborne)
