Papers Will Be Served on Fore
 man Bronson Tonight.

This is the Result of the Row at Brass Mill Between the Foreman and Some Refractory Help Senator Kennedy is Bringing tne Case and He Claims Attorney Durant Re fused to Issue Warrant for Other Reasons Than Those Given by Him. The papers in a suit brought by Jo- seph Noryiss against AlonZo Bronson, a foreman in the employ of the Wa
 terbuly Brass company, have been prepared and will be served this even ing CT to-morrow. The suit is for s. GOO damages for assault and is the outcome of dispute between the plaintiff and the defendant over some work at which the former was em- ployed. This is the case in which
 Prosecutor Durant refused to issue a
 warrant for the arrest of Bronson,
 claiming that while he would be glad 10 get square with Bronson for cer- tain reasons he found no reason why a warrant should be issued for his ar- rest
 On the other hand Senator Kennedy claims that the warrant was not is- sued for political reasons. Prosecu- tor Durant claims that he investigated the matter and concluded there was no
 case against Bronson On very good authority it is stated that all the inves- tigating MT Durant did was merely to telephone to some of the officials of the Waterbury Brass company and upon their statements he concluded there was no case against Bronson. Mir Durant further said at the time that Attorney Guilfoile had the case in the first place and that he also refused to
 do anything with it after a due inves- tigation, leaving the impress on that
 Mir Guilfoile also found nothing in it.
 Mir Guilfoile said that the reason he
 withdrew from the matter was be- cause MT Bronson is particular
 friend of Judge Cowell and that he could not consistently take action against MT Bronson. Judge Cowell is MT Guilfoile's law partner and it would not be consistent for one part
 her to bring suit against his partners
 particular friend.
 The fact of the matter is that MT Bronson, having number of Vorviss' fellow cOuntrymen at work in his de- partment, visits their clubs and social and political gatherings about election time, and having a great deal | of influence by reason of his position over them as foreman. or at least pre- suming to have, is thought to be of some value in the republican ranks It would never. do, therefore, to hale
 so strong an arm in politics into court. 1 Matters far more trivial than this appear every day in the city court. Vorviss told a story that should at least be heard in a tribunal of justice His face was full of scars, his clothes were torn and greasy from contact with the rolls against which he claims ! to have been thrown by Bronson. One of his back teeth was broken He | claimed to have been kicked in the l right side and in the abdomen and in general way was given a mauling by his foreman because he refused to
 do work he said was too hard for him to do. However. the papers in the civil suit against the foreman will be served in day or So and in the trial all of the particulars of the alleged assault will come out. It will then
 be seen if MT Durant was justified in refusing a warrant for the arrest of an alleged influential boss in the republi-
 can party. and if this is proved it will
 remove all doubt that politics has q
 great deal to do with the conduct of
 the office of prosecuting attorney.
