Did you ever notice in that passage that Josephus never actually says that "James" was stoned. Just that he was delivered over to be stoned.
Meanwhile, other citizens went to the king (Herod Agrippa II) who was probably two blocks away and it couldn't have taken that long to get there.
Josephus is never one to suppress the body count in his writings. Just seems like an odd omission.
