Woman Victim of Revenge Slaying Near Philadelphia College
At Haverford college four miles west of Philadelphia a woman, Mrs. Ginder, was killed in what authorities call a revenge slaying. The assailant, who admitted seeking vengeance after being discharged for drinking, borrowed a shotgun and fired in the dining room as Mrs. Ginder’s son John, a naval lieutenant, watched. The gunman fled after a chase through college corridors as panicked relatives and students reacted with horror.
