SELF-|NF FL|CTED
Counsel for Defense Plays
Trump Card in Physicians
Testimony.

DIR. Frank o. Stockton, of East Or
ange, testifying this afternoon for the
defense In the trial of Hiram r..
Craig, charged with the murder OF
Mrs Mamie Clark, swore that the
wound in Craig's head was not self
inflicted. 1t couldn't be, he asserted.
The statement was the trump card
of the defense. Frank M. McDermit,
chief coInsel for Craig, has contend
ed that Craig was shot by Hetty
Reeve. one of the women Craig has
been convicted of having murdered
in the lat at 352 South Orange ave-
nue. on the morning of February 20
DIR. Stockton said he had examined
the wound, where the bullet entered.
1t entered, he said, on the right side
of the head to the rear of and above
the ear.
ut would not be possible for
man to point revolver at his head
at a point where Craig was injured
and pull the trigger said Dr.
Stockton.
Similar testimony was given by
DR.. Edward w. Markens, county jail
physician.
Mr.. McDermit in opening mis- case
said the defense would be simply a
denial that the death of Mrs. Clark
was caused by Craig.
"Our defense would have been diff
ferent." said Mr.. McDermit, had
not the State read before the jury
the stenographic report of Craig $
testimony in the Reeve case.
I'VE are not called upon to prove
that Craig did not shoot and Kill
Mrs. Clark" said Mr. McDermit
"It is the duty of the state to prove,
if 1t can, that he did. The State has
failed to do that"
The first witness called by the de-
fendant was Thomas H. Nugent, or
Jersey City, who testified that the
reputation of Craig, as to peace
ableness In his home town, was good.
Mr.. Nugent said he had an engage
ment with Craig to spend the week.
end with him at Keyport, the day on
which the shooting took place.
Mrs. Jane Newlyn, of Is Rawland
avenue. Verona, was next called by
the defense. She testified that Craig
and Miss Reeve occupied a room in
a house in Court street, this city,
which the witness owned. Miss Reeve,
the witness swore, was hard
drinker and was extremely jealous
of Craig. particularly so when she
was drinking.
Roy l.. Harris, of Broad street,
Keyport, was next produced. Mr..
Harris said his home is next door TO
that of Sally McKeen. He told of
Craig coming to his house to have
his pistold repaired. That was in

MAY KNOW OF
MISSING GIRL
Police Theory She Has Gone to
Saugerties, NJ. Y, to Visit
Relative.
HIGH SCHOOL PUPIL
SEEN HERE YESTERDAY
Believe Stool Pigeon Was Sent
TO School to Entice
Others Away.

The mystery of the sudden disap-
pearance of Florence Dewitt, the fif-
teen year-old student of the South
Side High School. deepens with time
Although tie police have been on the
lookout and descriptions of the girl
posted throughout he city. yet no
definite clue has been received that
would divulge her whereabouts.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mill
ard Nj. De Witt, at 687 South Nine
teenth street. where the girl resided
Mrs. Dewitt AYERS that she is of the
opinion that the girl was lured away
from school for white slave purposes
This statement, she says, is greatly
strengthened by the fact that re-
ports have been received by her that
the missing girl has been seen in
Newark and dressed in a new brown
suit in lieu of the suit of blue she
wore on the day of her disappear
anee.
Lieutenants Heller and Kuhn, of
headquarters, said this afternoon
that a girl answering the description
of the missing De Witt girl was in
Bamberger & Co.'S store on Monday
afternoon, and while there an elderly
woman purchased "A tan dress for
Miss De Witt. The saleslady told
the police that the girl talked in
cessantly about going to the Catskill
Mountains to live.
1t is now the theory of the police
that the De Witt girl was taken away
h. IA .,s.
of New York citv. and sent to the
home of another uncle and aunt, Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur De Witt, in SAUCER
ties, ~ Y. They base this theory on
the fact that when the girl was in
Bamberger's store the woman that
bought the suit said that she would
need something heavy for the noun
tains.
The woman was overheard to say:
"Let me see; you are fourteen
years old" and the girl corrected
her and said.

patriotism are sending young men in

lively engaged in making prepara-
tions for the collection that viii be
used by local Italian troops. Miss

JERSEY CITY, May 26.-With JUS
tice Francis J. Swayze dissenting, the
Hudson County Court today reversed
its decision in the case of Rev. Mat
thew ]. Tuohey assistant rector of
st. Johns Catholic Church, who was
found guilty on Monday of ZAP
preaching" a grand juror regarding
the Hoboken election cases.
Father Tuohey was adjudged not
guilty and the fine of $25 that had
been imposed was remitted
Father Tuohey was in court when
the announcement was made. JUS
tice Swayze announced that the ma
jority of the court referring to
Judges Mark A. Sullivan and George
G. TennanD had come to the con-
clusion that the court had erred in
its former judgment.
IT do not concur in the opinion,
however" he added.
Emil Hertz. a Jersey City business
man, who had also been named as
having approached a grand juror,
appeared in court today and made a
statement He was acquitted.
Father Tuohey's name had been
brought into the case because of the
fact that he had talked with John A
Hennessy, a grand juror, of Jersey
City, and had discussed the case of
the thirteen Hoboken election officers
who had been reindicted. He is said
to have remarked that it was too bad
the innocent had TO suffer with the
guilty.
Father Tuohey, i'm court on Mon
day, admitted that he had spoken in
this manner to Hennessy, but it
.t.t, nf inf he
man. He was merely expressing his
sympathy for one of the accused. he
said.
1t is generally rumored that the
other eight men who were fined on
Monday for the same offense will
hold a conference. and may decide
TO appeal their cases.

DIAMOND THIEF
AND MATE HELD
FOR GRAND JURY
Vagrant Who Bit Gem from
Ring Languishes in Cell
With Companion.

Having recovered from the effects
of strong potions which made him a
formidable assailant OF the attend
ants at the City Hospital yesterday,
Owen Patten, who with companion
attacked Mrs. Lena Blank in her hus-
bands saloon at rs Clay street and
bit diamond from a ring on her
finger, was returned to the Second
precinct police station this morning
and arraigned on a charge of assault.
As was told in yesterdays Evening
Star, the diamond, which had been
nipped from its setting by the strong
teeth of Patten, was found in a crack
in the floor of the Blank saloon,
where the assault occurred.
1t was at first supposed Patten had
swallowed the gem, and he told the
policeman who arrested him in Wash
ington Park that such was the case,
with the result that he was hurried
to the City Hospital, where, after
assailing five attendants until he was
choked into docility by a towel being
twisted around his neck, a stomach
pump was employed to recover the
diamond
Yesterday afternoon the jewel was
found, and ii is now in Mrs. Blank s
possession.
When arrested, Patten accused
Frank Reilly. another vagrant as
being his companion, and Patrolman
Cosgrove, who knew where Reilly
sometimes secured stray jobs, left
word at a river front lumber yard
that Reilly would be wise in giving
himself up. Late yesterday afternoon
Reilly walked into the Second precinct
police station and said he wished to
surrender himself. He was locked up
and today Judge Mancusi-Ungaro
held Patten in $1,000 bail for the
grand jury and Reilly in $500 ball,
both being charged with assault and
intent to rob.
