CAUSE OF CRIME
I08 -AttUHLBS. Cnl, Doc 1 S.
Love' for1 ono parent, nnil liato for
tho other, botlCintenslfloil by the nl-
Icgcd nlmfro of the. mother by tho
father, nro believed toilar to lmve
been reBtontblo for tho Ahootlnj; of
Daniel 11. nlckort by his fourtccn-
ear-old eon Martin.
Officer of tho" detention homo,
where tho boy la n prisoned hae
been with hint nlmost constantly
ulnco tho 'shooting early yesterday.
Altliotlgli they hao KOne oVer tho nr
fair with him tlmo and again their
questioning unfailingly leads to the
reply:
"I' shot him becauso I hated him
and ho wasn't Reed to my mother."
Younjc KlcUert has shown no sor
row for Ms ncl, nor ha ho evinced
much Interest In hU own future. Bui
he coifstnntl' nsfced for his mother
and he was unable tb sleep lafct nlghl
until assured that ho might see
her today. Any mention of the
father ho killed caused his face to
cloud. Ho Insisted that under the
wxmo circumstance ho would do ex
nctly ab he did If ho had yesterday to
live over again.
"Ho was mean to mamma and he
had no right to be," ho doggedly re
plied to all questions.
Mrs. RIckcrt Is still loyal in de
fense of her boy. Sho refuses to ad
mit that the shooting was Intentional,
nvcrrlug that Martin meant only to
frighten his father. Lovo and anx
iety for tho boy, for tho time nt
least, seem to outweigh her grief at
lirtr husband'H death. Sho Is deter
mined that Martin shall cscapo pun
ishment If possible, and last evening
sho toarfully begged for a promise
that ho would not be sent to jail.
Tho jouth will bo held nt tho de
tention home until his arraignment
on n formal chargo in tho Juvenile
court. Two penalties may bo ln-fllctrd-J-lmprlsonmcnt
lu tho stnto
penitentiary or in the lotio Reformatory.
