Camden's Murder Trial.
In the Camden County Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, with Judge Garrison presiding, Josiah Stevens, colored, who was indicted by the Grand Jury at the January term as an accomplice of Theodore Lambert in the killing of William Kairer, was placed on trial, Lambert having already been tried and convicted of murder in the first degree.
Theodore Lambert, who has already been convicted, testified that he and Josiah Stevens were together from Sunday, December 3d, until Monday, December 4th. He then told how he and Stevens started from the house of Lavina Moore, shortly after midnight, on December 4th, to rob a house in North Camden.
He then recited the story as told to Prosecutor Jenkins in his office after his arrest, which was to the effect that Stevens was with him at the time he entered the Kairer residence. At the conclusion of Lambert's testimony the Court took a recess until this morning. The State will close to-day, and it is expected that the case will reach the jury to-morrow.
