Ond degree by a jury before Judge Mar
tin at o'clock this afternoon. He was
tried for the killing of Hetty Reeve
The conviction means an indeterminate
prison term not to exceed thirty years.
The case of Hiram E. Craig, the
salesman who is accused of the MUIR
der of Hetty Reeve and Mrs. Mamie
Clark, went to the jury at noon to-
day. Judge Martin charged the jury.
The charge was generally regarded as
an impartial review of the evidence.
Craig remained cool as usual
throughout the ordeal. Only once or
twice did he show evidence of the
strain under which he has been since
the trial started last Monday.
At o'clock the jury was still out.
The final summing up on behalf of

ant prosepcutor. Mr.. Van Blarcom re-
sumed his demand today for YER

attacked the story told by Craig that
the shooting in the South Orange fat

The State declared that Craig first
shot Miss Reeve, with whom he had
been infatuated, and then killed Mrs.
Clark in order to do away with the
only witness to the first murder.

mystery in the Craig trial, did not
appear at the Court House today. Her

In concluding his summing up this
forenoon, Mr.. Van Blarcom charac-

life of the lowest kind in two other
counties in the State. He concluded:
