Ex- Judge Poving’s daughter was taken for a drive by Theodore Estes. On returning to her home the young woman informed her father that Estes had drugged and violated her. Poving immediately went to Estes’s residence, shot the young man dead, and surrendered to the police, being at once released on bail.
