Sd of September, to work here. Sam
Rodman, the prisoner, met Culp down
by the Cohansey Glass Works. A few
words ensued there. Later, Culp was
in Carll's cider place and Rodman
came in end began to berate Culp's
father. Then CARL put Rodman out.
Afterward, Culp went out and Rod
man clinched with Culp, and the for
mer was thrown. Then both went
back in front Of Carll's place and Rod
man clinched with Cup and both
were thrown. The cry of "Cop's
comin," caused Culp to clear out, and
Rodman was arrested.
Samuel Rodman, in his own defense
related this version Of the affair; II
went in Carll's place and there were
lot of York State blowers and Culp
present and Culp called out In props,'
1 don't know what he meant. WANTED
glass Of cider but CARL would not
give 1t me, and the Workers made fun
of me. did not assault Culp, he
pushed me against the bar. CARL put
me out, and we started to go down on
the wharf. When in front of Persons
the York state fellers said, Put it on
him here,' and we cllnched and both
fell down." The continuation of the
narrative went to show that about the
same thing took place q moment or
two later in front of Carll's place.
Here the case ended and the jury
was sent out 1t came back in g. few
minutes and returned verdict of not
guilty.
The Prosecutor announced that he
was ready to name the case Of the
State against John Bogar, charged with
fornication. This Indictment was
found at previous term, but had been
laid over.
The case is not one that a respect
able newspaper cares to spread over
its pages, and in fact the testimony
given yesterday is scarcely fit to he
heard, even in public courtroom.
John Bogar, the defendant was
represented in court by J. L. Van
Syckel, and his daughter occupied a
seat near MIN.
The prosecutor called to the stand a
dusky female named Julia Freeman.
This woman said that her name was
now Julia Pierce, ihaving married
ried Anthony Pierce about three weeks
since. The woman claimed that when
Bogar made himself liable to the
Indictment which has been found
against him, she was on South Pearl
street on the evening of the 22nd Of
last April, in company with Charity
Gross. Bogar and johnson coupled
with them, Bogar with her, and they
went down to the reight depot. Af-
terward Julia stole his pocket book
containing $10.54. Her arrest followed
and the story came out. Mr.. Van
Syckel was putting julie" through a
severe cross-examination when court
adjourned for the day.
The jury in the oar case came in
last night after Court had taken a re-
cess and rendered verdict of uilty,
recommending him to mercy.
THURSDAY MORNING.
Before the Bogar case was continued
Mr.. Van Sycle addressed the Court say
ing that in theIcase of William Robin
son, convicted of stealing oars, he
wished to make a motion. In all of
his twelve years of criminal practice,
he had never made a motion for g. new
trial, but in this case the verdict was
very unsatisfactory to him. True,
the offense was petty one. but
the records showed that if allowed
to stand would show that Rob-
1nson was a criminal. He wished
to make g. motion for a rule to show
cause why new trial should not
be granted, the rule to be return
able at the next term. The Court said
that 1t would consult and decide later.
Ao0SoAo ASc1Ay, tuc AtSh- WdOOIndu
OF the Cohansey Glass Works, said
that on the night of the alleged Of
fence, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, Bogar came to him at the
glass house and near the gate on
Glass street. Bogar told Leary to go
the other way as. there was some
women coming in. Leary went the
other way and about half an hour later
Bogar came in and told the witness he
had lost his pocket book. The defend
ant then took Leary out to box car
on Glass street but did not find the
pocket book.
With this testimony The State rested,
and Mr.. VanSyckle opened and Frank
Ross was called. He said he lived next
TO Bogar on South Pearl strees.
On this night Frank said Bogar and
Johnson were talking in front of Bo-
gar's house. 1t was somewhere about
midnight he thought. johnson bor-
