MAYS LANDING, March 29.-With

Strong at II o'clock this morning, one
of the strongest prosecutions on cir
cumstantial evidence ever presented in
his State.
Grier's evidence was Strongly against
the defendant. In his opening address
for the defense ex-Judge John Westcott
outlined an alibi for Strong, and said
the suspicious statements made to the
medium would be fully explained
through an unusual influence welded
over the man by Madam Gerard.
No intimation was made of any at
tempt to prove insanity, though West
colt said weak mentality of the de-
his apparent faith in supernatural
powers of mediums, whom he had con-
suited previously.
He advanced the theory that the
murdered woman might have been as
saulted by a stranger and afterward
killed.
1T will be made plain to you that
the alleged confession was the most
heartless and diabolical scheme eyer
practised to take the life of a human
being"
william Blaitzell, county detective,
was placed on the stand this morning
to resume the testimony in the Strong
murder case. Baitzell said he found
tracks about the barn where Mrs.

BOLD ROBBERY;
MAN IS HELD UP
ON BOYD STREET
Money and Gold Watch Taken
by Two Well Dressed
Men.

That a couple of daring hold-up men
are at large was evidenced to the police
today when Parmoravio Magma, of POI
Bergen street, reported that two Ital-
ians held him up this afternoon and
took from him ST..
The description given of the men is
Identical with the men who held
up Masse at Sixteenth avenue and
Bergen street.
Magma was walking along Boyd
street near Springfield avenue when
two Italians approached him and asked
if he knew of a place where they could
safely put some money. He mentioned
several banks, one of them in the inn
mediate vicinity. At that each of the
men took out a roll of bills and asked
him if he also had some money to put
away.
When he answered in the affirmative
they asked him to put his money with
theirs n walk down to the bank
with them.
Taking their money and making one
roll out of 1t, Magma was walking
along between them toward Springfield
avenue.
When a few doors from the corner
they suddenly attacked him and took
his money and a gold watch.
Before he knew just what had hap
pened the men were away.
That two such attempts should be
made within "a hours, both in broad
daylight and on a prominent corner,
is giving the people of that n%eighbor-
hood quite some uneasiness.
Captain Vogel sent several men out
on the case and a diligent search is
being made for two dark men about 40
years old with mustaches. one short
and stocky and the other a bit taller.

involving the mortgage he gave through
Fergg on the latter's plant in order
