HAD UNIQUE DEFENSE.

Sentencing of DR.. Bryson marks the
unsuccessful conclusion of the first
known defense of war arrangement
or she'll shock in murder case.
At the trial experts in nervous dis
eases and war psychology painted for
the jury a picture of the cause and
effect of the war upon htghly-strung
mentality.
The little courtroom in Huntingdo
re- echoed with the shrek of shells in
Flanders when men who had served
in the world war at the side of DR..
Bryson described the reign of wars
chaos at the front. Scenes of battle
were introduced into the testimony
and the effects of bursting shells on
DIR. BrySon were vividly described for
the jury to consider whether this man,
who had gone into battle a highly eff
ficient officer, had not been trans
formed into being Incapable of
choosing the right and avoiding the
wrong as q result of the strain.
The defense failed.
Mother Still Hopes.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bryson, gray-haired
mother of the convict, is in Hunting
don seeking some way or means to
bring up the case again. She firmly
believes in her son. She knows, she
declared. that it was not the boy she
sent away from Washington to fight
with the 42nd Division in France who
killed Mrs. Irene Haines in Cassville
last April. On the other hand, she
maintains 1t was the wreck that the
war returned to her who stood trial
for murder.
Friends of DIR. Bryson here were
astonished at the news OF the sentence
and the denial of an appeal for re-
trial. They had clungs stanchly to
the belief that the sentence would
not be SO heavy as 1t proved, just as
they hoped against hope that the
Jury would return after the trial and
pronounce, mot guilty"
Mrs. Laura Randall, sister Of DR..
Bryson, here today, was unable to
make comment on the sentence or on
the developments. She Is awaiting
word from her mother, she said, and
expects to learn of the new arrange
ments within the next few days
