Thomas Bryant, a lad not more than eighteen years of age, was arraigned before tlie bar of the district court of Uiis city this morning charged with the murder of his mother. The killing took place at her home at Burlington, a uburbof tills city, February 12 last No one was present to witness wit-ness this shooting, and n number of theories have been formulated regarding it Whst is hnown is that Mrs. Bryant was a hard-worHog hard-worHog tfoman, doing everything In her power to keep her three children and save money enough to join her husband, w ho was foreman fore-man of a mine in Australia. The buy was an incorrigible youth who uiintil tint WYirs Imt i!llMi.1 It, iending his mother's money In saloons and other places. In-aru-Ingthat his mother had saved up $Jd lie asked her for jiart of it with which to go to 'Frisco. This re-quej-t caused tlie quarrel whkh cot his mothe her life, and has jut his now In jeopardy. Tlie slate will prosecute on the theory that tlie shooting was wilful aud prcmi'di-tateil prcmi'di-tateil anJ fortherpose of securing secur-ing the money. The defei.se will lie that it was purely accidental. The unfortunate woman only lived long enough after Jrccciviug the deadly shot through the breast to 'tagger to the next room and expire on the threshold without being able to speak a word. Tlie boy took $223 ol the money and tied to the hills, where he ccaped pursuit by hiding iu a deserted placer mine. He several times narrowly escaped 1eing shot by his pursuers. After suffering greatly from cold and exposure he came In and gave himself up. Feeling Feel-ing ran very high against him at the time, but it has had time to die down some now. Tlie return of tlie father from Australia and his evident faith that the shot was accidental has done a good deal to shake the belief that tlie lioy ill-tended ill-tended to kill his mother. A good many now believe he pointed the pistol at her to scare her into giving giv-ing up the money, and that it was accidentally discharged. Thu accused ac-cused is a dark complexioued young fellow ofslightbuild, witliany thing but a pleasant face. He bears his trial manfully, only showing a little lit-tle nervousness wheu tlie attorneys talk about the death mialty in questioning the jury. The case will proliably occupy several days in trial. |
