Super for COurt---Criminnl SIde--Judgs Culver.
 This court came in yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
 It was expected that when the court open ed the case of Dr. E. L. R. Thomson, for al- legged abortion on the person of Mary Cana van, of Middletown, l7 years of age, would be called, as the young lady had been brought from New York to testify. Dr.. Thomson or his counsel did not appear in court and there was no necessity of Miss Canavan's appearance as a witness. By direc- ton of the States attorney the bond was called by Sheriff Byxbee, but no response was made by Dr. Thomson. Then the sheriff invoked the presence of R. H. Brown, the bondsman of Dr. Thomson. There was no respor SC and the bond was declared forfeited. few minutes later Mary Canavau was escorted to the depot seemingly greatly re- lieved in mind that her services were not needed
 State Attorney Doolittle on being consult ed further. said he had no doubt but that Dr. Thomson could be brought to justice notwithstanding the forfeiture of the bond, but he saw no occasion for pursuing the case further as the bond had been forfeited. He said this was the ordinary usage. The bonds man of Dr. Thomson is @ senior partner of the firm of Brown & Platt, of Westville, who are manufacturers of small hardware He is probably secured in his bond.
 The cases against the rubber shop thieves were disposed of yesterday morning. The case of State against James E. Casen was called by the clerk. "Casen pleads guilty, l" said MT. Doolittle in his explanation of the case to Judge Culver, 'sand it Is the under standing between myself and his counsel that he should receive sentence of three years in the State prison provided that the court gives it's approval. Casen," the State attorney concluded tsis concerned in series of thefts from the L. Candee Rubber company extend ing over a long period. His counsel agree to the- disposition of the case by which he shall plead guilty and re- ceive three years sentence" |" Ex-Judge Blydenburgh assented to the state- ment made by MT. Doolittle and Judge Cnl- yer then sentenced Casen to three years hard labor in the State prison. Andrew Lohman, who was engaged with Casen in the robbery, received sentence of six months in jail, having previously pleaded guilty. James Oasen, jr::, the seventeen year old son or one of the prisoners, is still in jail on civil suit brought against him by the rubber company for the recovery of the stolen property, but will probably be released soon as the State has no further use for him as witness. The real thieves were his father and Lohman. The latter worked ct the rub ber manufactory and secreted in the bar AOAo VI SWO0PAAE1 anu OeAAgE AoA0Sos W&4sSA AS was his duty to remove from the shop, chunks of raw rubber worth about $1.25 8 pound. The rubber was carted away by the elder Casen, who acted as the ssfencen in the affair. The rubber was taken from Casen's house to New York and disposed of to various junk dealers for about one-tenth it's actual value. Young Casen was the selling agent and through his operations in New York cleW was obtained which led to Q detection of the guilty parties. sa
 h the afternoon the court heard the case of the State vs Henry Flynn, charged with assaulting an Italian at Starin dock some months ago. After hearing the testimony the jury brought in Q verdict of not guilty.
 The next case taken up was that of the State va. Elmer F. Culver for neglect to sup port his wife. The case was not finished and will be.resumed this morning at 10 o'clock, to which time the court adjourned.
