Judge Denies Motion M Pickle Tub Case
 Mother Sought Specific Settlement cn
 Three lssues--Two Other Suits Pending

Superior Court Judge Charles ], Mclaughlin today denied Q motion of Mrs. Clara Mlohaud Labbe for Q more specific statement from tho American Brass O., defendant in Q siB,OOO clvll action brought as the result of the "plckle-tub" death ot her son, Joseph Michaud, Nov. 2l, io4S.
 The plaintiff sought . statement from the concern as to whether or not the death arose out of employ ment, whether or not it occurred In the course of employment, and whe. ther or not the accident victim was an employe of the defendant at the time Of his death.
 Michauds body was found In Q solution of soap and hot water ct the South Main street plant of the manufacturing concern 10 days after he was last seen. In addition to the civil action against the concern, Mrs Labhe has brought a workmen's compensation appeal to the court and also q double indemnity suit aglnst on insurance concern.
 Tn his memorandum of decision, Judge Mclaughlin ruled that Q statement as to whether or not the victim was an employe of the de- fendant concern had not place in Q common law action. He stated the other two requests were not well taken in view of the pending appeal from the workmen'S compensation decision, ! Judge Mclaughlin stated, If the employee wishes to retain c com mon law right of action to recover damages for personal injuries he must withdraw his presumed ace captance of the Compensation Act In the manner provided by law"
 The compensation appeal action Is based on . decision of Commissioner John J. O'Connell who ruled the ae- cldent did not arise out of or in the course of Michaud's employment.
