HAS NOT BEEN SENTENCED Dover Murder Case To Be Taken Up This Morning. Ot her Cases At yesterday session of Superior Court, the Grand Jury returned a true bill in the case of the State vs George Bell, colored, who several weeks ago attacked R. C. Lancaster, one f the rural mail carriers going out from the local postoffice, and the defendant entered a plea of guilty. Sentence in the case has not been passed. Journal readers will remember thai Mr. Lancaster was accosted by Bell on South Front street late one Satur day night and was a.,ked to purcha-e some whiskey. After r fusing the negro's offer Mr. Lancaster turned to go and was struck on the back of the head with a hammer and his skull was fractured. The injured man was placed in a local hospital for treatment and for several days his life hung inthe balance but he recovered and is now attending to his duties. The crime was a dastard ly one and the offender will without doubt get a long term in the State prison. Among the other cases disposed of yesterday was that in which Henry Bryan, colored, was charged with car rying a concealed weapon. The offen der had used his revolver real promt cously and Judge Daniels thought that a year on the county roads would take from him all desire to walk around with a "gun on his hip" and sentenced him accordingly. The case of Elm City Lumber Com pany vs Chileerhousc.Pratt, the Bank of Ottawa and the Gerard National. Bank of Philadelphia, was taken up yesterday afternoon. This was a civil action in which .several hundred dollars were envolved. In rendering their decision the jury decided in favor of the defendants. This morning the case of the State vs Henry Venters, Corrina Rouse and Walter Bunting, colored, charged with the murder of Toby -Rouse at Dover several weeks ago, will be taken up. Quite a number of wiln.'s-es have been summoned for this case and much in terest is manifested in the probable outcome. Solicitor Charles L. Abernethy, who is prosecuting the criminal docket, is losing no time in getting the docket clear of the large number o( cases which it contained and the rapid pro gress he is making is being commented n verv favorably.
