From New Jersey Mirror 11 Sep 1907 At the session of court held by Judge Horner on Thursday morning application was made by Eckard P. Budd, counsel for Caleb Rogers, for a new date for the trial of his client, Walter Simons and Theodore Wells, charged with the manslaughter of Howard Beebe, at Chairville, in April. This trial was set down to begin today, but Mr. Budd was informed last week that a case in which he is interested in the Ocean county branch of the Supreme Court would be called to-day, and he could not attend both courts. Beyond stating that he was ready and anxious to try the cases Prosecutor Atkinson did not oppose the motion made by Mr. Budd, and after a conference in the matter it was decided to call the case on October 1.

from the New Jersey Mirror 25 Jul 1821 Departed this life on Saturday, July 21, 1821, at his farm in Northampton, Burlington County, Major Joseph Budd, in the 66th year of his age. Few men have lived more generally esteemed or died more sincerely and deservedly lamented--for his life was a life of usefulness, and in his death has been sustained a public as well as a domestic bereavement. Amiable and affectionate in his disposition, and actively humane and benevolent in his practice--he discharged in a manner the most pleasing and exemplary, the various duties of husband, father, friend, and christian. At an early age, he was a soldier in defence of American Independence, and from the period of its confirmation has always been the incumbent of some public office, in which the honor of being useful was his chief reward. The county of Burlington has been represented by him in the Legislature, and he has officiated as Elector of President and Vice President of the United States. For many

From the New Jersey Mirror 19 Jun 1907 The trial of Caleb Rogers, Theodore Wells and Walter Simons, for the killing of David Beebe, at Chairville, on April 17, has been set down for September 11, that date having been agreed upon after Judge Horner had consulted the lawyers interested in the case. This trial was originally set down for to-day, but the important engagements of Eckard P. Budd, one of the counsel, resulted in a change being made.

From the New Jersey Mirror 15 May 1907 Several members of the Tabernacle Council, Junior O. U. A. M., have announced that they will give financial assistance to Caleb Rogers, a member of that order and one of the three men imprisoned here charged with having caused the death of David Beebe, at Chairville, on April 27, that he may be given a proper defence when the case comes to trial. Eckard P. Budd is his counsel. Blanchard H. White has been engaged to defend Theodore Wells, but up to this time Walter Simons appears to be without counsel. Justice Hendrickson has called a special session of the Grand Jury for Monday next, at which time the three prisoners will probably be indicted for the crime with which they stand charged by the Coroner's jury which heard the evidence at the inquest held in Medford.

from the New Jersey Mirror 8 May 1907: The jury empaneled by Coroner Seeds to investigate the killing of David Beebe, at Chairville, the previous Saturday night , heard the evidence presented at the inquest at Medford on Friday, and after brief deliberation held Caleb Rogers, Theodore Wells and Walter Simons, three of the seven suspected men taken from the county jail to Medford by Deputy Sheriff Fleetwood to give testimony before the coroner, if they so desired. Harvey Reeves, another one of the men arrested on suspicion of having been implicated in the killing, was not held for his connection with Beebe's death, but was committed to jail in default of $350 bail on the charge of carrying a concealed deadly weapon. There has been a determined effort on the part of the court to break up the practice so common among a certain class of young men, of carrying revolvers, and it is possible that a term in prison awaits young Reeves, even though he escaped detention on the more serious

New Jersey Mirror 22 Sep 1909 Because his cousin, Miss Eva Oliphant, refused to marry him, Joseph Budd Cranmer, a member of one of the leading families of the shore, is supposed to have committed suicide on Sunday night, September 12, 1909. Cranmer, who was about 35 years of age, lived alone in the Cranmer homestead. He had for some years been attentive to a cousin, Miss Eva Oliphant, daughter of William Oliphant, and the young woman was probably the last person who saw him alive. Sunday, September 12, he spent the evening with her, again urging her to marry him, and she again refused. Since that time he disappeared from all his accustomed haunts.-- On Saturday night, neighbors burst open the door and found his dead body on the garret floor. A broken rope swung from the rafters, and another bit of rope was around his throat.
