sphinx-4 NullPointerException at startRecognition

I'm trying to follow this tutorial, and it crashes upon startup after having lots of problems with the dictionary and models, such as.

The dictionary is missing a phonetic transcription for the word 'humphrey'

and

Dec 18, 2014 1:14:50 PM edu.cmu.sphinx.linguist.lextree.HMMTree addPronunciation SEVERE: Missing HMM for unit T with lc=N rc=EH1 13:14:50.601 SEVERE lexTreeLinguist Bad HMM Unit: EH1

I loaded this dictionary and got the language and acoustic models from their SourceForge page

It then crashes with this:

Here's my code.

package com.test.sphinxtest;

import java.io.IOException;

import edu.cmu.sphinx.api.Configuration;
import edu.cmu.sphinx.api.LiveSpeechRecognizer;
import edu.cmu.sphinx.api.SpeechResult;

/**
 * Hello world!

 */
public class App 
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();

        configuration.setAcousticModelPath("models/acousticmodel/en-us");
        configuration.setDictionaryPath("dictionary/cmudict-0.6d");
        configuration.setLanguageModelPath("models/languagemodel/en-us.lm");

        try {
            LiveSpeechRecognizer recognizer = new LiveSpeechRecognizer(configuration);
            recognizer.startRecognition(true);
            SpeechResult result = recognizer.getResult();
            recognizer.stopRecognition();
            while ((result = recognizer.getResult()) != null) {
                System.out.println(result.getHypothesis());
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The correct dictionary should not have stress marks, you can download it from here:
