SHOT IN COURT
Brandishing two revolvers, a lawyer dashed into court at Nykoping, Sweden, recently, and shot three men dead. One shot struck and killed the Public Prosecutor. As he fell another shot killed a workman who was being questioned by the Judge in a divorce suit. Two other men were wounded. One died a few minutes later. The himself escaped only by dodging insiiind his desk. The lawyer, who had developed a mania that he was being persecuted, turned a third weapon on himself and died.
