Claiming that constitutional rights of Q trial by jury were denied to William Bradlow of Wolcott last Tuesday when Common Pleas Court Judge John F. McDonough directed a jury verdict for the American District Telegraph Company, Attor- ney William Lawlor today asked the jurist to set aside the verdict. Judge McDonough reserved decision on the motion after listening to lengthy arguments.
 Bradlow claimed he was severely beaten by James w. Koran of Wa terbury last Sept. 8 when he stepped from his place of employment at the American-R Republican building on Leavenworth street into a nearby alley. The defendant company, which hired Horan to patrol certain buildings in the downtown area. was sued for $2,500 as a result of the in- cident.
 After presentation of testimony started before a jury in the case Tuesday, Attorney William J.. Larkin, counsel for the concern, made a motion for a directed yer dict on the ground Horan was out of the scope of his duty during the incident. The motion was granted and the jury was directed by the judge to return a verdict for the defendant.
 Today MT. Lawlor stated Horan was actually In the furtherance of his duty when he crossed the street from the First Federal Savings and Loan building on Leavenworth street, where ne was on patrol duty He said there was evidence that Horan was chasing someone in the line of duty and that he grabbed Bradlow when the person he was pursuing eluded him.
 It was claimed by the lawyer for the plaintiff that Judge Mo Donough erred in stopping the trial and not letting the jury decide whether or not Horan was further ing ''his masters duty" when the beating occurred. He stated 1t was & matter for the jury and if the court was not satisfied with the finding of the jury he could then have set aside the verdict, and &C., compliShed tine same end.
 MT. Lawlor stated that in los- ing the case without allowing jury deliberation the judge deprived the plaintiff of his constitutional rights to trial by jury. Numerous cita- tions were presented by the coun- sei to back his contentious.
