Announcement was made last night
that for the first time since it's organi-

parade line on Memorial Day. The
Military Board of New Jersey National
Guard is very much peeved because
the recent Legislature did not appro-
pirate all the money asked for, despite
the fact that the State is on the verge
of bankruptcy.
The companies of the Guard have
been ordered not to drill any more un-
til further orders, and as there will be
no camp duty, it is evident that the
militia will not be permitted to serve
the public even upon holidays.

Judge Black took his seat at S.45

After the prisoner was brought in
from Jail the Court said, after the
Prosecutor had moved for sentence:
James, stand up-Have you any
thing to say why the sentence of the
law shall not be imposed on you?"
'No, SIR
"The jury, after what appears to
have been a fair and impartial trial,
has set aside your plea of self-de-
tense and convicted you of murder in
the second degree. 1t now becomes
the duty of the Court to impose the
sentence of the law, which is that you
be confined in the State Prison at hard
labor for a period of not more than
thirty years and not less than fifteen
years." Then to the Sheriff he SAID.
"You may remove the prisoner"

MURDER IN
SECOND DEGREE
A Surprising Verdict in
Moore Case.
SENTENCE TO-DAY
The Colored Murderer of Florence
johnson Is Very For
tunate.

The State failed to convince the
jury that James Moore wilfully anil
deliberately killed his paramour. Flor
enee Johnson, when on Easter Sun
day he went from house to house in
his neighborhood searching for ra-
zor, finally obtaining it, and going
back to the woman, nearly severed
her head from her shoulders by
slashing the keen blade across her
throat while the woman was sitting
idly upon table laughing and chat
ting with callers.
Yesterday afternoon the jury, after
but short deliberation, returned a
verdict convicting Moore of murder
in the second degree.
After the argument of the counsel.
Judge Black charged the jury at the
close of the trial. He, in his charge
ignored all reference to the evidence.
but laid all emphasis upon the law
applicable to the charge in the in
dictment.
He defined that to constitute mur-
der in the first degree-there must
be the elements of wilfullness, delib-
GRAFTON and premeditation. That there
need be no fixed period or limit of
time as to these elements. That to
constitute murder in the second de-
gree the act must be devoid of inten-
ton to kill, but must show an inten-
!. ton to do great bodily harm.
Tis jury came into court before
reaching a verdict to inquire whether
the 'nicked razor" (Which had been
identified as the razor taken from the
dead woman's shirt waist was the
razor which Moore wanted to borrow.
The Court said to them, THAT is a
question of fact for you to determine
from the evidence; the Court cannot
enlighten you and the jury retired.
Manslaughter, he said, must be Of
the impulse of great anger and with
out the intention to kill. Self defense
was defined.
1t was about $50 o'clock when the
announcement was made that the jury
had agreed upon verdict. The jur-
ors were summoned to the Court
room, and in the presence of the de-
fendant and his counsel, the foreman
announced the second degree verdict
of murder.
Moore could not conceal his pleas
ure. He had fully expected that he
would go to the chair and the escap-
ing of this fate made him look for
ward to Imprisonment with pleasure.
Justice Black announced that he
would impose sentence tomorrow
morning.
Lawyer Frank S. Mckee, Jr., was
many times congratulated upon his
very successful defense of Moore.
One of the jurors discussed the case
to some extent following his being
excused. He said that he with most
of the other jurors were convinced in
their own minds that Moore had mur-
dered the Johnson woman after ma
ture deliberation, but he said that the
State failed utterly to prove that fact
and in the absence of such proof up
on the part of the State and in view
of the charge of the Court, it was i'm
possible to render a verdict of first
degree murder.
